GOV. TOURS ST. ALBANS, CABINET TOURS COUNTY Photos and article: Gregory J. Lamoureux County Courier ST. ALBANS: Vermont Governor Phil Scott spent the day Tuesday touring different aspects of St. Albans as his cabinet was making their way through the County learning more about the needs of area residents and learning what is working with State Government for many of the residents. Dubbed “Capitol for a Day,” Scott has traveled to two other counties before Franklin. It is not unusual to see government officials more active on campaign years. Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch have both been visiting Franklin County towns more in the last six months than in the early part of their terms, but Scott said early Tuesday morning that he had been planning this type of visit to Vermont’s 14 Counties sooner, but had not had a chance to get all the workings figured out in time for 2017. Scott visited six areas of the Town and City with part of his cabinet while the rest worked their way through the county, meeting in 16 other locations. THE CO-OP The Scott Administration met in the St. Albans Co-op meeting room for about an hour on Tuesday morning, giving updates to the Governor on aspects of their departments as well as an update on what they would be doing that day. Al Gobeille, Secretary of Human Services, shared with the Governor that caseworkers were finding themselves in difficult places as they spend much of their day at homes, talking to parents, and deciding on the future of the living conditions of kids. Many of these caseworkers, Gobeille told Scott, are doing so in areas that have little to no cell phone coverage, leading to the already dangerous aspects of their jobs. He went on to tell the Governor that these workers have recently been equipped with a safety device that

40 hours/week (full time) during their respective terms. Being available on short notice to handle emergency calls does not constitute “full time”. Is it not realistic to believe that any candidate for the office of Probate Judge would donate approximately 4,000 hours over the term of his office without being compensated. Presently, 9 out of 14 current Vermont Probate Judges maintain a private practice while fulfilling their judicial obligations. There is no reason Vaughn Comeau, if elected the next Franklin County Probate Judge, cannot do the same.

VOTE FOR RON
Ron Horton is the guy zipping around the byways of Orleans and Essex counties these days. He’s running for state Senate as a Democrat, and he is one of the most energetic people I’ve ever met. Recently, he showed me a calendar chockful with entries for house parties, parades, meetings with town selectboards, speeches at local clubs, and door knocking sessions. This is a candidate deeply committed to listening to voters and taking their concerns seriously. He’s thoughtful, mature, smart, supports affordable health care for all and common sense regulation of firearms, and has good ideas for dealing with

working in Marietta were some of the happiest in his life. Thom was nothing if not a renaissance man, and it showed in his hobbies – his friends knew him as a wine-lover, amateur brewer, masterful chef, and musician. He played the guitar and the piano, and learned new languages and instruments with ease. He was a methodical and daring chef, and spent hours cultivating the perfect sourdough starter or finding the right grind for his espresso. He made a mean Old-Fashioned and Manhattan. He was a connoisseur of everything he loved, and because of that, being loved by Thom was an honor and a privilege.

HORTON FOR SENATE
If you live in the Vermont EssexOrleans State Senate District please consider casting a vote for Ron Horton in the upcoming (August 14th) primary election. Ron Horton is an honorably discharged veteran – U.S.A.F. He is a former teacher, pilot and long time Delta Airlines employee. I recently met with Ron and had an extensive conversation with him about the problems and issues facing Vermont in general and our
The family would like to thank DataStax for their kindness and generosity during this difficult time, Homestead Hospice of Cartersville for their excellent care, and the many friends, family, and coworkers who reached out and/or visited Thom during his last weeks. The family will hold a Celebration of Life in memory of Thom in Georgia and Vermont. Georgia service was held on Saturday, Aug. 4, 2018, at 6 pm at the Strand Theatre, 117 N Park Square, Marietta, GA 30060. Vermont service will be held on Saturday, Aug 11, 2018, from 2-5 pm at the Marriott Courtyard Burlington, 25 Cherry St., Burlington, VT 05401 in the Harbor Room. Black attire discouraged but blue shoes and hats encouraged. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to Homestead Hope Foundation at http:// www.homesteadhopefoundation. org/donations.html or City of Hope at https://www.cityofhope.org/giving/ donateNg8Sndk9AdxoCLe0QAvD_ BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds To view Thom’s memorial video or offer a message of condolence, kindly go to his on-line guest book at www.healdfuneralhome.com.
district in particular. We also talked about the many opportunities we have to improve the lives of the people who live in this most beautiful corner of Vermont. Ron is no slick backslapper or pretend good-old-boy, but rather a straight forward, open, and sincere man who will do a good job for our district if elected. Ron Horton understands the district and the problems and opportunities we face. He has developed specific proposals to reduce property taxes, improve our educational and physical infrastructure, and bring in much needed business and quality jobs. The two current District Senators, who have held office for many years, may be well meaning, but they are also quite ineffective. We can do better. We can vote for Ron Horton on August 14th.

I will serve as your full time Judge • Practiced law in Franklin County 35+ Years • Former Franklin County Deputy Attorney • US Army Veteran For over 25 years Probate Judges Larry Bruce, Bob Cronin, and John Webster have served on a full-time basis. None of them had a law practice on the side. I will follow in their footsteps by doing the same thing. I will devote all of my time, legal skills, and career experience to the residents of Franklin County whom I know well after working with them and being part of this community for more than 35 years.
Please vote for me in the Democratic Primary, vote early at your town clerks’ office, or vote on Tuesday, August 14th 72426
