Happy Rocktober! I trust everyone had a good Zep-tember?
Here’s what’s happening this week in the world of Vermont news and politics. Think you got something newsworthy for next week’s calendar? Email us by Friday to submit.
Monday, October 1
- Lt. Gov. Phil Scott kicks off a publicity stunt — er, campaign tour — today with his “Cycling Vermont’s 14” excursion. That’s right, the lite guv will pedal all 14 counties of this brave little state. Guess he finally ran out of other people’s jobs to do. Follow the epic journey here.
- At 10:30 a.m. at his Burlington office, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) holds a press conference to announce an energy efficiency grant that will let Burlington electric ratepayers finance energy conservation projects through their utility bills. Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger and Vermont public service commissioner Liz Miller will join him.
- Republican gubernatorial candidate Randy Brock has scheduled a press conference on economic development — a departure from his almost singular focus on attacking Shumlin-care. 1:30 p.m. at ipCapital Group in Williston.
- The three candidates running for attorney general — incumbent Democrat Bill Sorrell, Progressive Ed Stanak and Republican Jack McMullen — will debate at Johnson State College at 4:30 p.m.in the library. Sen. Bill Doyle will moderate.
Rest of the week after the jump…
