The election’s over, but that doesn’t mean The Scoreboard‘s over. Here’s the rundown of winners and losers in Vermont news and politics for the week of Friday, Nov. 16:
Winners:
Liz Miller — The Burlington attorney has rocketed to the top of state government in the past two years, moving from private practice to commissioner of the Department of Public Service to — earlier this week — Gov. Peter Shumlin’s next chief of staff. Runner-up winner: Steve Kimbell for managing to re-retire to his Tunbridge home, where he’ll have more fun tending to his sheep than he would staying on in the Department of Financial Regulation.
Bill — Sure, the Green Mountain College ox is probably feelin’ pretty lonesome these days, but dude seriously dodged a bullet. RIP, Lou.
Peter Shumlin and Randy Brock — Shummy ends his reelection campaign with $933,000 in the bank — so that’s pretty rad for him. As for Brock, he may have lost the $300,000 he loaned his campaign last summer, but Thursday’s campaign finance reports indicate he was wise enough, despite hints to the contrary, to refrain from investing more of his own cash in his losing campaign.
