MIDDLEBURY—The Porter Hospital Cardiology practice significantly expanded, both in terms of clinical hours and specific outpatient services, with the arrival of Dr. Sanjay Bose this month. “We are extremely excited to welcome Dr. Bose to our community, as well as gratified by the opportunity to offer a full-time/fullservice Cardiology Program for our local patients and in support of the work of our Dr. Sanjay Bose primary care physicians,” said Porter cardiologist Dr. Andrea Fossati. “Dr. Bose will be seeing patients here in our Porter campus office 4 days each week, and also will be working 1 day each week at Fletcher Allen in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory with our patients.” According to Fossati, Bose will bring to Porter Hospital new expertise and the ability to perform both non-invasive and invasive cardiology services that our current Porter Cardiology practice does not offer. “This will

Sanders, Leahy vote to support ACORN William Sorrel received “F” by ACORN From New Market Press Staff & News Reports Despite years of warning signs about voter fraud, embezzlement and other potentially criminal behavior by and within ACORN—the Association for Community Organizing and Reform Now—only a handful of state attorneys general apparently didn’t need to be embarrassed by recent al-
ternative media reporting and videos before taking some action against the liberal ACORN organization. Most state attorneys general have sat by idly, perhaps for political reasons with a trail quite probably leading to Washington some say, while ACORN has been busy racking up unchecked legal offenses. “State attorneys general long ago should have investigated ACORN, and enforced
various state laws against it,” said Mark Fitzgibbons, president of Corporate and Legal Affairs of American Target Advertising. Fitzgibbons is a vocal opponent of ACORN. “State attorneys general claim to have

Mixed grades: Vermont ranks 49th in annual pay WASHINGTON, D.C.—Vermont got some good financial news and some bad financial news this week. While Green Mountain State residents are significantly better prepared to face the 2009 national recession— the worst since the Great Depression—they rank 49 in the nation’s average annual pay category. The mixed news was revealed in a report released Monday by the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED), a national economic nonprofit that receives some federal taxpayer funds for its activities.
Among the good news for Vermont: The state earned an “A” on CFED’s 2009-2010 Assets and Opportunity Scorecard. CFED’s Assets & Opportunity Scorecard measures the financial security of families in the United States by looking beyond just income to the whole picture of building ownership and protecting against financial setbacks. The Scorecard ranks the 50 states and the District of Columbia on 58 performance measures in the areas of financial assets and income, businesses and jobs, housing and homeownership, health care and
