It’s the event you’ve all been waiting for! No, not Burlington’s Mardi Gras parade. That’s tomorrow. (Look for a passed-out Andy Bromage atop the Seven Days float.)
It’s this week’s Scoreboard! Our regular accounting of the winners and losers in this week’s news cycle. Did you make the list? Keep reading…
Winners:
Castleton Polling Institute — Vermont’s fledgling polling outfit dominated Vermont political news for a week as it dribbled out results on hot-button topics from guns to wind to end-of-life choice. Finally, Vermont reporters and lawmakers alike have some data to work with as they consider a slew of tough issues.
Miro Weinberger — As Green Mountain Daily’s Jack McCullough pointed out this week, both Progs and Dems are claiming in campaign messages that their respective candidates in a hotly-contested Burlington City Council race would help Mayor Miro Weinberger advance his agenda. Dude must be popular. (For the record, the Democratic mayor backs the Democratic candidate. Big surprise.)
Reporters — The fourth estate may finally get its hands on criminal investigative records, thanks to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s move this week to adopt federal disclosure standards. Watch out, cops. The Burlington Free Press‘ Mike Donoghue’s gonna getcha!
Losers after the break…
