This week in news and events in the Green Mountain State’s political sphere: an “interesting” Obama fundraiser, a Vermont appearance by former Obama adviser Van Jones, and some newsworthy readings at the Burlington Book Festival.
Monday, September 17
- Today’s the deadline for monthly campaign finance reports. It’s like Christmas for political reporters.
- Vermont Business Magazine hands out its 5x5x5 Growth Awards, for five growing local businesses in five categories over five years, at the Doubletree Hotel in South Burlington.
Tuesday, September 18
- Jonathan Goldsmith, a.k.a. the Most Interesting Man in the World, holds a fundraiser to support Barack Obama’s reelection campaign at Nectar’s. We wrote all about that one last week.
- Longtime political journalist Barrie Dunsmore gives a talk called “Discerning Fact From Fiction: Navigating Political Campaigns and the Media.” (Sounds useful this year, no?) The talk begins at 7 p.m. at the Writers’ Barn in Shelburne. It’s free, but RSVP by emailing Lin@windridgepublishing.com.
