Legislative adjournment? Ha! It’s ain’t over till the fat lady sings — by which we mean those svelte legislative leaders, Shap Smith and John Campbell.
Here’s what’s happening in Vermont news and politics this week — sure to be the last of the legislative session. Got a newsworthy event for next week’s calendar? Email by Friday to submit.
Monday, May 13
- The Legislature couldn’t wrap it up on Saturday as planned, which means lawmakers are back in Montpelier for another two days. The House hits the floor at 10 a.m. to take up the latest versions of several bills, including marijuana decriminalization and physician-assisted death-with-dignicide. The Senate’s on at 10, too.
- Congressman Peter Welch is in Vermont today and at 12:30 p.m. he’ll be making a “business visit” to the Alchemist Cannery in Waterbury. When you can’t find any Heady Topper on the shelf this week, you’ll know who to blame.
- In Burlington, there’s a Board of Finance meeting at 5 p.m. in city hall conference room 12, followed by a city council budget work session at 6.
Rest of the week after the break…
