Same in Burl. State Police are now on the beat, but since then incidents persist at higher than usual pace. Poverty and drug escapism are intertwined, and the market is bigger in recent years so the drug gangs are around. It's not unique to VT, it's more that VT is catching up to the norm in semi-urban areas like Ruts and Burl.
