Here’s what’s happening in Vermont news and politics this week. Lots doing in the Statehouse, as the Legislature careens toward the finish line. Got a submission for next week’s calendar? Email by Friday to submit.
Monday, April 29
- Congressman Peter Welch is in the Middle East this week. Details are being withheld for security reasons, but the rep departed Sunday with fellow members of the House National Security, Homeland Defense and Foreign Operations Subcommittee (or, as the kids refer to it, NSHDAFOS) for a trip that includes Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkey.
- At 11:30 a.m., the Burlington City Council’s charter- change committee takes up the dormant assault-weapons-ban proposal. In city hall, conference room 10.
- At noon, the Senate holds a “token” session. You sure that’s not, “tokin'” session? I’m looking at you, Sen. Zuckerman.
- The University of Vermont is holding public forums with candidates seeking Jane Knodell’s old job of UVM provost. First one is today at 3:30 p.m. in Billings Library. Full list.
Rest of the week after the break…
