	Vt. Town to Decide on Whether to Buy Camp on Lake Champlain's Malletts Bay The Republic August 24, 2011 http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/41bec6fea1ae4c16b02215b6376367fc/VT--Camp-Sale/ COLCHESTER, Vt. — Colchester residents are going to decide whether the Vermont community should buy a 26-acre summer camp on Lake Champlain's Malletts Bay from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington. The church is selling the property to help pay the settlement from a series of priest sexual abuse cases. Townspeople will vote Oct. 4 whether to buy the property for $4.5 million. On Tuesday, the town sponsored a barbecue at the site to let people see what could become town property. Katie Leary tells the Burlington Free Press (http://bit.ly/qWaTpF ) she'll vote yes. She says she wants to see a family-friendly park on the lake. But Brian McCarter says his taxes are already too high. He says it's not the right time for the town to invest in land.
