The Bush Years are over, but the Douglas Years are clearly still with us. VT has fallen far behind in key areas: wind energy, digital access, and most crucially, clean-up of Lake Champlain. I want to help design the post-Douglas Years. Now.

Looking for the gist of yesterday’s election result? Let VDB save you a few minutes. First, Dems netted votes in Congress, a fact doomed to be lost in the shuffle. The GOP win in Virginia is pretty significant; the GOP win in Jersey is pretty not. ...

Unless you’re that guy from Memento, you remember that the State Senate campaign laid down a marker a few weeks back: we were looking to add a parallel roster of community based volunteer events to our standard political calendar. ...
Philip Baruth. State Senate. 2010. A really fantastic volunteer event out in Essex Junction on Halloween morning. Many, many thanks to the 18 of you who turned out with us, and then worked out on the dance floor at the Teen Center. Refinishing a massive space like that is nothing with folks like you on hand. Anyone who says that no one is paying any attention to politics a year before the election is clearly hanging out with the wrong people.

Scott M Seckington I agree, we've fallen behind in key areas. The Lake needs a good doing-over, as for digital access, let's just say that we're not where we need to be. You have my support.

If you're planning to come out on Saturday morning for our "Alternate Halloween" volunteer event in Essex (painting and refinishing at the Teen Center there), drop a comment below this so I'll know how many donuts to bring along. We'll be meeting at Martone's Deli at 10:30 am, and walking over to the Teen Center at 11. I love the smell of voluntarisim in the morning.
