Here’s what’s happening in Vermont news and politics this week. Got a newsworthy event for next week’s calendar? Email by Friday to submit.
Monday, April 8
- Burlington City Council. Shannon v. Paul. Round two. The gloves come off 5:30 p.m. at City Hall Auditorium.
- After that, at 7 p.m., a newly appointed panel tries to succeed where the Burlington City Council failed by avoiding a lawsuit and completing a mandatory redistricting of the city’s seven wards. At Burlington High School. Channel 17 will carry both meetings live.
- At 7:30 p.m., VTDigger.org presents a talk by Dan Gillmor, columnist for the Guardian, a former Vermont Press Bureau reporter and an expert on new media. Alumni Auditorium at Champlain College.
Rest of the week after the break…



Maybe the council could clear out the tables and chairs and play dodgeball to settle the vote.
