House concurrent resolution honoring Charlotte Board of Civil Authority Chair, and Ski and Ride Program Coordinator Michael Krasnow
H.C.R. 36 is a ceremonial House concurrent resolution honoring Michael Krasnow of Charlotte, Vermont, for his long service to the Town of Charlotte and his decades of volunteer leadership in the Charlotte Ski and Ride Program. The resolution recognizes his 27 years on the town’s Board of Civil Authority, where he has served as chair and helped with tax adjudication and election administration, as well as his work introducing local children to skiing and snowboarding through school-based trips to Bolton Valley.
The resolution highlights Krasnow’s personal history with skiing, his earlier work as a teacher and advisor for student skiing activities in the Boston area, and his role in organizing equipment fitting and distribution for students who might not otherwise have access to winter sports. It emphasizes the social and developmental value of the program for nearly 150 participating students each winter and notes that he has helped bring many new children into the sport over more than three decades.
This resolution does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its legal effect is limited to formally expressing the General Assembly’s appreciation and directing the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Michael Krasnow. The only state-law-related reference is the acknowledgment of the Board of Civil Authority’s existing municipal functions in tax adjudication and election administration.
The sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and appreciative. The bill is entirely honorary in nature and reflects bipartisan-style recognition of long-term civic volunteerism, youth mentorship, and community service. There is no recorded opposition, committee controversy, or roll-call vote history in the provided materials.
There are no notable points of contention in the text or accompanying legislative history. Because the measure is a nonbinding commendation, it does not appear to raise policy disputes, fiscal concerns, or legal objections. The only substantive content is praise for Michael Krasnow’s municipal service and his work making skiing and snowboarding accessible to local children.
