This blog is about politics in Burlington, Vermont. On Town Meeting Day Burlington holds elections, just like in November. We don't actually have a town meeting. Maybe we should. It would be like Athens.
I digress...
I have emails out to both my city councilors (W7- Republican and Democrat) and also to "info@ progressiveparty.org" for more info. I'll post it when I get it. If you have more, do tell...
Here's all I got right now. Expect the same "Shempy" coverage from me as last year...or not even that really. It's a way less interesting election, what with no open mayoral seat, and all. Plus Poopsie and I are having another baby in March, so there's that.
Pretty much I can quit blogging entirely once PolVT goes off the air, and Town Meeting is Over. Ahhh! Whatevs. Here's the dirt... oh... and the world's shortest movie review: Rocky Balboa: Loved it! An exquisite portrayal of beauty in decay. Up there with I and II. I rank them like this: II, I, Balboa, V, IV, III... ok, the dirt...

ReplyDeleteThanks. You might want to tell Bob to Optimize me a reminder if he's at work that day.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting the way each party words who is invited-
Greens only invite "Greens and supporters" whereas Progs say "All are welcome." Republicans say "Republicans to caucus" and Democrats say "Democrats to caucus."
Progs say the most right thing to say in this instance. All are welcome. No ambiguity. It would be a big thing to do and to the credit of any of the other parties to amend their announcements thus. Don't you think?
Show us your ass.
