Vermont primaries: Rising candidate numbers signal high stakes - Valley News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two years ago, the big story in Vermont politics was the rebound of the Republican Party, which made gains that broke the Democratic supermajority in both houses of the state Legislature. While Republicans hope to continue that momentum,there’s also renewed energy among Democrats in Windsor and Orange counties. Most of the contested races in Vermont’s primary elections, where voting ends on Tuesday, Aug. 11, are on the Democratic side of the ballot. “I think it’s great that Democrats are ‘Fired
Hall Art Foundation founder responds to review - Valley News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am writing in response to Alex Hanson’s article about the Hall Art Foundation in Thursday’s edition of the Valley News. I am glad he overcame his aversion to paying a visit. Judging by his review of the shows, it seems he may even have enjoyed them or at least found them thought provoking.

Hall Art Foundation: An art collector's tax shelter - Valley News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Hall Art Foundation opened in Reading, Vt., in 2013, and until last weekend, I had almost completely ignored it.

Elizabeth Burrows is a member of the Mount Ascutney School District board and a self-described policy wonk; former state Rep. Heather Chase is a nurse and a business owner; longtime Hartford firefighter Chris Dube is a labor organizer; in
Teenager Aiden Otterman runs for VT House seat - Valley News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TOPSHAM, Vt. — This fall, Aiden Otterman will be a senior at Thetford Academy. He plans to graduate in January, and depending on what happens on Nov. 3, to go directly from the classroom into the Vermont Legislature. If he’s successful, he would be the youngest person ever elected to the Legislature. While several House members have gone directly from college to Montpelier at age 22, Otterman, who turns 18 in October, would be the first teen lawmaker. “When I go to people’s houses, they usually
