Morning, neighbors! Danielle Fallon here with your Saturday Burlington Daily. First, today's weather: Downpours in the afternoon. High: 71 Low: 50. Here are the top stories in Burlington today: After Wednesday's police raid involving methamphetamines and firearms, the Sears Lane homeless encampment on the South End will be dispersed as of Oct. 19. Though Mayor Miro Weinberger previously supported the encampment, his position changed after the incident. "In attempting to generate new, needed housing, the City's intent was never to protect criminal activity," Weinberger said in a statement. "It is clear that the encampment at Sears Lane has become untenable and unacceptable." (vtdigger.org) A Burlington man could spend the rest of his life behind bars for a lengthy list of heinous crimes. In Vermont Federal Court on Thursday, 37-year-old Sean Fiore pleaded guilty to murder for hire, conspiracy to kidnap and murder a person overseas, conspiracy to produce child pornography, and possession of child pornography. Though Fiore had been released earlier under the supervision of the U.S. Probation Office, he was put back behind bars as authorities discovered more about his crimes. (WCAX)An increasing number of Vermonters have started driving electric cars to save money — and the planet. Public car charging stations are popping up statewide, with many businesses (including Burlington's City Market and Hannaford supermarket) offering them as a customer courtesy. The state has approved funds for another 17 fast-charging sites with the intention of having at least one every 30 miles.
