Who is she?

The Lady in Red.

UPDATE:

That’s Douglas Press Secretary Jason Gibbs casting a friendly glance in the direction of The Lady in Red and her video camera.

Meet Liz Saxe, reasearch director at the Vermont Democratic Party.

Hey, it’s the modern technological age – use it or lose it! Liz has been showing up at Gov. Scissorhands’ pressers since winter. Nothing like being close to the enemy, eh?

The Guv’s “weekly press conferences” stop being “weekly” during the summer. And also, the annual contract for taping the “weeklies” and distributing copies to the state’s public-access cable TV outlets expired a few months ago.

Stay tuned.

Peter Freyne, 1949-2009, wrote the weekly political column "Inside Track," which originated in the Vanguard Press in the mid 1980s; he brought it to Seven Days in 1995. He retired it shortly before his death in January, 2009. We all miss him.
