Sure “looks” like Christmastime, eh?

Nice fluffy dose of the white stuff this morning. There’s a shot of the street out front. Burlap’s South End – Five Sisters Neighborhood.

Gonna go grab a little coffee then hit Gov. Jim Douglas‘ weekly press conference – which he hasn’t held for a few weeks.

In fact, this one has been moved over to the Ceremonial Office at the Statehouse for a prime photo-op.

There, according to Ol’ Jason’s missive,  our beloved Guv [left] “will join officials from Medicare and the Green Mountain Council of Boy Scouts to encourage eligible senior citizens to enroll in the federal Medicare prescription drug program.

Thousands of Vermont’s senior citizens have taken advantage of the federal prescription drug benefit implemented in January 2006.  According to officials, however, there are several thousand more Vermonters who are eligible but who have not yet enrolled.”

Anybody notice the “Pollina Governor ‘08” ad in the current print edition of Seven Days?

It’s now or never time for Tony the Prog…some say.

That’s Anthony [right] in a recent shot taken at Uncommon Grounds on Church Street. Think the long hair would be a plus or a minus?

The campaign print ad, “Paid for by Pollina for Governor,” says, “We’re looking for volunteers, donors and campaign staff to help build this important grassroots campaign.”
Interesting.

Got something to say?

Peter Freyne, 1949-2009, wrote the weekly political column "Inside Track," which originated in the Vanguard Press in the mid 1980s; he brought it to Seven Days in 1995. He retired it shortly before his death in January, 2009. We all miss him.
