News and politics stories in this week’s issue of Seven Days…
- In this week’s cover story, Ken Picard takes a deep dive into the state auditor’s race between Republican Vince Illuzzi and Democrat/Progressive Doug Hoffer — a battle between the “King of the Kingdom” and the “Data Man.”
- What’s up with Burlington Telecom? Three years after its troubles first surfaced, the municipally-owned, deep-in-debt utility is still stuck on pause, writes Kevin J. Kelley.
- Kathryn Flagg writes about Burlington’s big plans for its King Street neighborhood — without leaving its low-income residents behind.
- This week in Fair Game: Gov. Peter Shumlin talks a big game against corporate money in politics, but he’s lining his campaign coffers with cash from special-interest groups. Plus, updates on super PAC backer Lenore Broughton, an Obama fundraiser with James Taylor in Vermont and more changes for the Burlington Free Press.

Kudos to Heintz for the lead piece in this week’s Fair game exposing the hypocrisy — no, make that fraud — of Shumlin’s reelection campaign.
