Vermonters doesn’t like their naked neighbors

BRATTLEBORO, Vermont – Spring has arrived in this southeastern Vermont town. The trees are less bare, and some local residents are more so.

Resident Theresa Toney said she was dining at a downtown restaurant when she spotted this spring’s first naked person. She looked out the window “and saw a man in his 60s walking up and down Main Street totally nude,” she told the Brattleboro Reformer newspaper. “This is indecent exposure where it doesn’t belong.”

Vermont has no state law, and Brattleboro no ordinance, against public nudity.

“How do you want to be viewed as Brattleboro?” asked the Rev. Kevin Horion. Nudists could pop up anywhere, he said. “I am concerned we don’t know where they are going to strike.”
