For the better part of half a century, I covered public affairs, politics and elections in Vermont, mostly in radio and TV news, focusing on the city of Burlington. Now retired, for the first time in my life I am endorsing and volunteering for a political campaign. The candidate is Jane Knodell, running as an independent for re-election to the Burlington City Council. Jane faces two challengers for her seat in the Central District. Although I wont attack either challenger, I simply ask voters in the Central District- Wards 2 and 3- to join me in sending Jane Knodell back for another two-year term, based on her record. She has the knowledge, experience and courage to support the best interest of the city, and avoid getting bogged down in frivolous partisan political fantasies. Vote smart. Vote Knodell.
