By Michael Bielawski mbielawski@watchdog.org

MONTPELIER — Republican Phil Scott and Democrat Sue Minter are set for a November showdown following the Aug. 9 primary election, and the candidates for governor see two very different futures for Vermont.

With more than 90 percent of districts reporting, Scott received 60 percent of the vote against Republican opponent Bruce Lisman, who received 40 percent. On the Democrat side, Minter defeated second place challenger Matt Dunne by 52 percent to 38 percent. Peter Galbraith came in third with 10 percent of the vote.

“Tonight we can say with certainty this campaign settles an important debate: negative campaigns don’t have to work in

DUI stop LEICESTER — On Aug. 8, Vermont State Police assisted members of the Bristol Police Department with a motor vehicle stop near the intersection of Ferson Road and U.S. Route 7 in Leicester. After a short investigation it was determined that the accused, Jeremy Craig, 40, of Hudson Falls, N.Y., had been operating the vehicle while under the influence and with a criminally suspended license.

NEW HAVEN — Chaylen Lemieux, 22, of Castleton, Vt., is no stranger to horses. Since the age of 11, Lemieux has been riding horses, Western style.

The 2016 graduate of Vermont Technical College, with an undergraduate degree in veterinary science, wants to turn her long-time passion for the equestrian art into a professional career.

Lemieux is making the rounds to various veterinary clinics in Rutland County to interview for a starting position. She hopes to eventually find employment as a

large-animal vet.

The recent college graduate has competed at Pond Hill Ranch in four horse shows and has also been part of Pond Hill’s popular rodeo circuit, the only one of its kind in Vermont.

“It takes discipline to ride and compete,” she told the Eagle, “but I enjoy working with my horse as an integrated team.”

Decked out as a Montana-style cowgirl and riding her quarter horse named “Brody”, Lemieux’s expert style was immediately recognized by the judges at the Western Riding competition at the 2016 edition of Addison County Fair & Field Days in New Haven, Vt. When it comes to the four-legged world, Lemieux waxes philosophical.

“This is where my heart lies. With a good horse on a good day,” she said.

Art in a private park at Lemon Fair Sculpture Park

By Lou Varricchio

ry Daniel of Denton, Texas.

“Frank called up Jerry Daniel in Texas and a short time later a man showed up with a flatbed truck with two pieces. I got out the tractor and we put them in the park,” Elaine says. “Frank liked them so much, we got two more.”

The Ittlemans plan is to eventually build up the private art park to a venue with changing works on display.

“I’ve always had an artistic side,” Frank says, “so I’ve applied that to my surgery. And when we bought Lemon Fair

Farm, it seemed a perfect opportunity to express my interest in outdoor sculpture.”

“Frank is a collector but I would like artists to exhibit with a changing feel to it so then people could come back and see new pieces,” Elaine adds.

Among the large works of art on display at the Lemon Fair park, you can’t possibly miss artist John Clement’s big orange “Tiller” which is visible from Route 74 as you pass by the park.

Vermont artist Christopher Curtis is well represent-

ed at the park as well. Two of his works—”The Kiss“ and “The Face” are on exhibit.

Curtis’ work integrates current technology with raw stone, the artists special interests.

On a Saturday and Sunday, the couple like to meet the visitors who drop by—free of charge—on weekends only.

“It’s all for fun,” Elaine says. “Sometimes we meet visitors down by the road.

While we recently welcomed 75 visitors here from the Middlebury Community

Players, we usually welcome fewer—maybe 10 people on a Sunday.”

While it’s a work in progress, Lemon Fair Sculpture Park promises to bring the contemporary art scene to a rural setting where both urban and rural artists can exhibit their large-scale works.

Check It Out: Lemon Fair Sculpture Park is located at 4547 Route 74 in Shoreham, Vt., approximately 8 miles southwest of the Middlebury College campus. The park is on private property and open

until November, Saturday and Sunday only, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

EditorÕ s note: An expanded version of this story, with artist details, will appear in the autumn issue of the EagleÕ s sister publication, Our State Vermont magazine, available free on local newsstands.

SHOREHAM — When University of Vermont heart surgeon Dr. Frank Ittleman’s passion for contemporary art turned from mere personal enjoyment to a desire to share his passion with the public, it manifested itself in a most unusual way.

Ittleman and his wife Elaine, decided to display their collection of large metal and stone pieces on their 350-acre parcel in Shoreham, Vt., known as Lemon Fair Farm after the Lemon Fair River which slices through the property.

The private sculpture park—a scaled down version of New York’s famous Storm King Art Center—is enhanced by its rolling, rural Addison County setting; it’s an ideal bucolic backdrop.

The landscape environment includes open fields, woodland, lawn, grasses and shrubs, and the meandering Lemon Fair River.

“Frank loves sculpture and he’s been collecting sculpture,” Elaine said. “He started with a classmate’s work and added pieces such as “LimeTonic” by Charles Orme.

Chris Curtis of the West Branch Gallery in Stowe created ‘The Kiss’ and it just blossomed from there.”

But the Lemon Fair park isn’t just for the Ittleman’s collection. They have also invited Vermont artists to display their work in the park— some pieces are for sale. The Ittlemans have a book which indicate which pieces are for sale.

“Frank saw a piece called ‘The Dancers’ created by Jer-

Maple Street Bridge work to start in Salisbury

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

SALISBURY — Construction work on Salisbury’s crumbling concrete Maple Street Bridge, spanning the Leicester River, will start on Aug. 15.

Voters approved a $850,000 bond at a special June 2 meeting with the total cost estimated at around $1 million.

The replacement bridge was prompted after engineers found the existing span was in a deteriorated condition, including “insufficient hydraulic capacity and functionally obsolete width.”

According to the engineering report, the components of the current bridge are in poor condition, “with areas of spalling (flaking, chipping) and cracking on the fascias and underside of the concrete beams. The bridge deck is also in poor condition and in need of replacement.”

Town Clerk Susan Scott said CCS Constructors, LLC, a privately held company in Morrisville, Vt., will spearhead the project.

The new bridge will be a combination bridge rail design, a near twin of the new Route 73 bridge over Brandon Brook in Rochester, Vt. Detours will be posted for routes around the construction.

The crumbling concrete Maple Street Bridge in Salisbury will be replaced with construction work starting in mid August.

Midd bridge project team meets FROM NEWS & STAFF REPORTS

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury’s Downtown Bridge Replacement Project is moving closer to its 2017 start. Parties involved with the project met with the Middlebury Select Board Aug. 9.

Kevin Marshia, VTrans Highway Division director and chief engineer, engineer Wayne Symonds, and Joel Perrigo, VTrans project manager, along with community liaison Jim Gish, updated the Select Board on the bridge project during the regular meeting.

VTrans put together a new project team at the State level, with Marshia, Symonds and Perrigo as leads, to review all aspects of project planning to-date and get things back on track, including the development of a new schedule.

Marshia noted that the team is taking a fresh look at construction sequencing with the selected contractor as part of its evaluation in an effort to minimize disruption to the community.

VTrans agrees that there are many opportunities for better communication between the State and Middlebury Community about the project and has committed to ensuring that the Town’s Community Liaison position remains fully funded through the completion of construction.

The Board questioned the current condition of the bridges, which were last inspected in April.

Gish reported that he had also addressed this with the project team and that, while VTrans has no immediate safety concerns, it was willing to accelerate its normal annual inspection schedule while the community waits for construction to begin.

The VTrans team reported that the revised construction schedule was still being developed but anticipated being able to present it to the management team and Select Board in September for review.

Intellectual property greed down on the farm

A

ugust is fair time here in Vermont.

The 2016 edition of Addison County Fair & Field Days wrapped up last week while the new, shortened version of the Vermont State in Rutland is already underway.

It’s always fun to get a closeup look at all the new, high-tech farming machinery on display at our local fairs. But even with all their cool bells and whistles, there’s a troubling cloud on the horizon, at least when it comes to ag’s high-tech software.

“This might be hard to believe for non-farmers,” writes agricultural writer Dan Nosowitz in a recent story appearing on the Modern Farmer website, “but owners of (farm) tractors aren’t actually allowed to fix them, thanks to a set of laws designed to protect software intellectual property.”

This came as a shock to me, but then two Vermont farmers I chatted with at Field Days appeared to confirm Nosowitz’s reportage.

By the looks of it, America’s legal framework of intellectual copyright claims has gotten way out of control—the problem of course has to do with greedy corporate executives, software know-it-alls, and all those minions of itchy palmed corporate attorneys.

According to Nosowitz, a 2015 letter sent to the U.S. Copyright Office from one of those giant, international farm-equipment makers, stated that the folks who buy tractors don’t really own them. Wow. Really?

Of course, when you dig a little deeper into the legal definition of things, it could just be that a corporate lawyer’s definition of “ownership” is much like the Clinton duo’s parsing of various definitions such as “is” , “sex”, and “short circuited”. But then again— In this one example, of a manufacturer’s letter to the Copyright Office, lawyers of the company wrote that those who buy the tractors are “purchasing an implied license for the life of the vehicle to operate the vehicle.” Ok, that single line of legalize requires a bit of verbal unpacking in my understanding (or lack thereof).

“This weirdness all comes back to the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA, which governs the way people use a whole variety of digital-ish items,” according to Nosowitz.

“The DMCA was designed to protect software makers from piracy, which it didn’t really do.... (then, manufacturers) jumped into the game thanks to the extensive software involved in... modern tractors; these aren’t just simple machines; they have a fair amount of programming...”

The Associated Press has also reported, in several online articles appearing earlier this year, that farmers don’t have many allies in the “ownership” fight.

No, when it comes to 21st century farming, it sure ain’t like to good old days. It looks like farmers really are not allowed to work on their own new tractors.

It also strikes this editor that more and more of those fine folks who work the land are becoming indentured servants to intellectual property law—a lot of things both inside and outside the barn, from patented crop seeds to monkey-proof machinery that only a NASA engineer could fix, belong to others even as the farmers may think they “own” them.

No matter, more than a few farmers are rightfully angry.

Many tractor owners are upset that their tractors are off limits, at least compared to their cars and trucks, when it comes to certain repairs; simply, they can’t be serviced by independent shops—so, it’s back to the dealer for high-tech repairs.

Actually, complex electronics in everyday autos and trucks also appear to be going in that direction, too. So, what will be left for the little garage owners to do? Well, maybe change the oil, check the fluids, change the tires, fluff-up the pillows.

The Eagle would like to hear from local farmers and tractor dealers about this topic and how it affects (or doesn’t affect) Vermont’s already hardworking and in-hock farmers.

Truth and transparency

he word is spreading that Democratic Party officials are reportedly bracing for the possibility that another batch of damaging or embarrassing internal emails will be surfacing before the November election.

The fear reportedly comes as officials with knowledge of a Russian cyber-attack that targeted Democratic politicians and organizations believe the breach was bigger than first thought and exposed the private email accounts of more than 100 party officials and groups — including the personal email accounts of nominee HillDan Alexander ary Clinton’s key campaign officials.

Thoughts from Sadly, truth and reality are foreign terms to most poliBehind the Pressline ticians and their operatives. They’ve been drinking their own version of the truth for way too long and getting away with it. Finally when real documents surface they have no where to hide and they are forced to acknowledge the truth, when it bites them in the nose...for lack of a more refined term.

To further the point, we also heard last week that a task force investigated a Defense Department whistle blower’s allegations that higher-ups manipulated analysts’ findings to make the campaign against ISIS appear more successful to the American public surfaced.

When the truth hurts do we want our elected officials to candy coat it for their political perspective or do we need the truth? We’ve allowed our political judgment and the watchdog organizations that are suppose to be our trusted fourth estate, to become far too relaxed and partisan, letting our leaders spin us.

The American public is being taken to the cleaners by both parties as well as those who profit from government contracts and media companies who’ve put their investigative skills and bi-partisan reporting aside in favor of the bottom line and insider favoritism.

What does it say about the trust we have in our leaders when countries like Russia, China, and North Korea are hacking into their private accounts to release the true details our officials do not want us to know?

In years gone by, America sponsored broadcasts like Radio Free Europe to let the folks behind the Iron Curtain know what was really happening and how they were being duped by their governments. Have the tables turned so far that we now need the help of foreign countries to learn the real truth about our government’s actions and true intentions?

Enough already with the spin talk and telling us in perfectly crafted wording what they know we are willing to accept like sheep just accepting their every word, when all along the truth is being carefully kept away from us.

If we traded cash for hostages wouldn’t we rather know the real truth and why it was was not spoken to us directly by our leaders, rather than from some shady foreign hacker or leader? We may not like it, but we can handle the truth, since it’s what allows us to live as a free people.

There just seems to be too much contradiction between what we are told one day to what we learn the next when the truth is leaked. Common sense should tell us where there is this much smoke there must be fire.

We need to come to our senses soon and demand more accountability before it’s too late.

We need the truth or we are all left living a lie that is bound to burst sooner or later... and some of these cracks in our society are already becoming very apparent.

Restaurant helping to find home for dog pals

By Hannah Manley

lou@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY—Homeward Bound, Addison County’s Humane Society, has turned to Two Brothers Tavern in Middlebury for help in finding a permanent, loving home for two dogs surrendered to the shelter in July.

Holmes Jacobs of Two Bothers Tavern has a soft spot for the situation.

“My brother and I are tight.

We own a business together,” he said. “I understand how important it is to keep family together. We are happy to be helping get the word out to our customers about Mandi and Atticus. We think these two deserve a very happy ending.”

Homeward Bound’s Jess Danyow, shares, “Atticus and Mandi are a very special pair Homeward Bound? Mandi is on the left, Atticus is on the right.

Not so Jolley in Ferrisburgh FERRISBURGH — On Aug. 11, members of Vermont State Police New Haven Barracks responded to the Jolley Store in Ferrisburgh to investigate a report of larceny from a cancer survivor donation jar.

Evidence was found and recovered from the store.

Police allege that Sherry Vukoder, 59, of Addison, had taken an undetermined amount of cash from a donation jar for cancer survivors.

Vukoder was then located, and interviewed.

On Aug. 12, Vukoder was cited for the charge of petit larceny, she will appear in Addison Superior Court on Sept. 19 to answer the charge of petit larceny.

here at Homeward Bound.

They came to us because one of their elderly owners passed away and the other was unable to care for them alone. Atticus has lost one eye to glaucoma and has a 50/50 chance of losing vision in his second eye as well; he receives two eye drop medications to help lower that risk. Mandi, who has been with Atticus since she was a puppy, serves as his seeingeye dog and provides Atticus with a great deal of security. In honor of their strong bond, we are requiring that these two be adopted together.”

Atticus is a 12 year-old, AKC Certified Golden Retriever, neutered male. He is a very affectionate, empathetic, grandfatherly dog who seeks human contact above all else.

According to Atticus’s previous owner, Atticus always

seemed to know when something was bothering him and would try to provide comfort.

Atticus is wonderful with other dogs, and will even lay down to let smaller dogs and puppies climb all over him in play!

Mandi is a 9 year-old, AKC Certified Duck Tolling Retriever, spayed female. She is an energetic, athletic, playful gal who will chase down tennis balls for as long as someone can throw them. She is very affectionate, and once attached to someone she will always want to be in their company.

Two Brothers Tavern is using social media to introduce their customers to Mandi and Atticus and they’ve papered the restaurant with information about the duo as well.

Everyone involved hopes that the dogs new family is just

East Middlebury veteran of three wars to be featured Wilkinson to be part of publication

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

EAST MIDDLEBURY — Roy Wilkinson, an East Middlebury resident and U.S. Marine Corps veteran of three wars, trained with a war dog named Kappy to fight on the volcanic island of Iwo Jima in 1945.

The autumn issue of the Eagle’s new fullcolor sister publication, “Our State Vermont Magazine”, will feature Wilkinson’s unusual story as a tribute to all U.S. veterans in time for Veterans Day 2016.

“The Marine dogs I worked with were trained to run messages, sniff out the enemy, so they became high priority targets for the Japanese,” Wilkinson told the Eagle.

In 1944, from the Marines’ Parris Island boot camp, Wilkinson was shuttled to Camp Knox and Camp Lejune in North Carolina. There, he trained for jungle combat with dogs, with the Seventh Marine

War Dog Platoon, in preparation to being shipped out to the far Pacific.

According to an historical account of the U.S Marines use of canines in wartime, from 1943 to 1945, the Marine Corps used 1,000 dogs, donated by their American owners, in the Pacific theater to help take islands back from Japanese occupying forces. The Doberman Pinscher became the official dog of the USMC; however, all breeds of dogs were eligible to train to be war dogs of the Pacific. Of the 549 dogs that returned from the war, only four could not be returned to civilian life. Many of the dogs went home with their handlers from the war.

You can find the new issue of Our State Vermont, free, on local newsstands after Labor Day.

Lyme disease on the rise locally Local efforts to combat disease dovetail with state, federal efforts

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

ELIZABETHTOWN, N.Y. — Lyme disease is on the rise in Essex County.

“Our Lyme numbers are off the charts,” Susan Allott, Essex County Public Health Department’s Director of Preventive Services, reported to county lawmakers on Monday.

Cases of the tick-born illness have doubled this year from 15 in 2015 to 33 to date.

Allott is working with Champlain Area Trails to install warning signs for hikers, which are also available on request for lawmakers to install in their communities.

The signs urge hikers to avoid tick bites by using repellents, walking in the center of trails and to check for ticks daily on children, pets and themselves.

The majority of those cases were contracted along Lake Champlain, Allott said. But despite the trend, she said it’s a misnomer that inland residents can’t be affected, including North Elba residents.

Lyme disease affects 300,000 Americans each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Cases have doubled in the U.S. since 1991, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, because warmer temperatures allow more ticks to spread the disease.

State and federal lawmakers have joined Essex County in taking measures to stay ahead of the disease.

This session, State Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) cosponsored two bills aimed at increasing public awareness.

The first bill would require the state Department of Health to design a Lyme and tick-borne disease prevention program to promote awareness of the disease and keep communities informed.

The second would direct the state Departments of Education, Health and Environmental Conservation to “develop instructional tools and materials to assist in the education and awareness program to protect children from Lyme disease and tick-borne infections,” according to materials provided by the senator’s office.

Both bills are pending consideration by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

A third bill, which passed the Senate, would require a state commission to submit a report on the impact of providing insurance coverage for Lyme and other tick-borne related diseases by May 1, 2017.

Health insurance providers are not required to cover longterm treatment for those who suffer from chronic Lyme or other related diseases.

According to her office, Little was successful in securing $75,000 this year for the continuation of a Lyme disease collaborative study by the Trudeau Institute, Adirondack Health, the state Department of Health, and other agencies.

At the federal level, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) touted her legislative efforts last week while stumping in Glens Falls, which include the introduction of legislation that would require the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct research on Lyme and other tick borne diseases.

The proposed bill would also “establish an interagency working group that reviews the research and provides recommendations so that we can better care for those affected.”

The private sector has also been shining a light on the issue.

Ward Lumber sponsored a seminar in June in Jay featuring three experts on the disease.

Additional speakers included Holly Ahern MS, MT, cofounder of the Lyme Action Network, and Dr. Ronald Stram.

Rutland man arrested for alleged sexual assault

RUTLAND — On July 29, the Vermont State Police and the Rutland City Police Department were notified of an alleged sexual assault on a 12-year-old girl by her biological father.

Through the investigation it was learned Rolls was allegedly sexually abusing his daughter for over a year.

After the allegation, Rolls fled the area, and an arrest warrant was issued.

On Aug 3, the U.S. Marshals Service located Rolls in the City of St. Albans at a family residence.

Rolls was arraigned in Franklin County and will be transferred to Rutland County at a later date. The Vermont State Police were assisted by the Rutland City Police Department, the US Marshal’s Service, the St. Albans Police Department, and the Vermont Department of Children and Families- Family Services Division.

The Rutland Unit for Special Investigations (is a multi-disciplinary team that investigates, prosecutes, and serves victims of sex crimes and child victims of severe physiBrandon Rolls cal abuse throughout Rutland County.

Brian Goodro and the tallest blade of grass Addison County Fair & Field Days

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

NEW HAVEN — When Lincoln, Vt., resident Brian Goodro arrived at the 2016 edition of Addison County Fair & Field Days last week to enter the annual scythe handmowing competition, he was carrying a lot of family pride and history.

Goodro’s antique wood-handle scythe has been in the family since the late 1800s.

“It’s my grandfather’s scythe,” he said. “It was handed down to me and we hung it on the wall. I finally started using it in 2015 to clear pasture land at my house in Lincoln, but I never really considered competing with it at Field Days until this year.”

Goodro’s grandfather was Harry Goodro, the founder of Goodro Lumber Co. of Middlebury. The elder Goodro died in 1971, according to his grandson.

This year, at least for Brian Goodro, the term “field days” has taken on a special meaning.

On the morning of the handmowing event Aug. 11, Goodro was sizing up the competition which included 100-year-old Lucien Paquette, founder of the event and founder of the Addison County fair in 1948.

Paquette may been the oldest participant at the event, but at the very least, Goodro deserved a prize for having the oldest hand-scythe in the game.

“I think this is an oak handle,” Goodro said, running his fingers along the scythe’s long, smooth, pole with handcarved hand grips. “This is the original blade, too, made of 19th-century carbon steel. I haven’t touched it except to sharpen it. It’s mounted at the angle my grandfather used.”

An old Russian proverb from the steppes states, “The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the scythe.” With a still-sharp 120-year-old scythe blade, Brian Goodro would have to agree with that.

Brian Goodro of Lincoln swings his grandfather’s 19th century scythe at Addison County Fair & Field Days Aug. 11. Goodro’s grandfather, Harry Goodro, was the founder of Goodro Lumber Co. of Middlebury.

Continued from page 1 Vermont,” Scott said after results were announced.

Lisman bowed out graciously, offering a strong endorsement of Scott for the general election.

“I ask you to support without qualification, Phil Scott. He won. He needs to win for our state,” Lisman said in a statement.

Lisman’s campaign had been firing at Scott over political hiccups and alleged conflicts of interest related to Scott’s construction business, which has contracts with the state.

Meanwhile the Scott campaign claimed to be taking the high ground, opting not to respond in kind to the attacks.

Scott, a native Vermonter with lengthy experience in the business and government sectors, is advocating for strong economic development in Vermont, even if it means turning away from costly green power initiatives. He also pledged to defend Vermonters against Democrat-led gun control initiatives, and promised not to raise taxes, but instead restrict budget spending increases to the rate of economic growth — currently about 2 percent.

Minter, originally from Pennsylvania, has campaigned on building more wind turbines atop Vermont’s ridge lines and denying towns veto power over renewable energy projects.

She also has taken the lead in calling for gun control measures, including universal background checks on all private gun sales.

The Republican Governors Association sent out a statement offering congratulations to Scott and criticism of Minter.

“In nominating Sue Minter for governor, Vermont Demo-

crats have chosen a Shumlin political insider who would uphold the status quo and deny Vermont the fresh start it needs,” RGA Communications Director Jon Thompson said.

The Vermont Republican Party issued a statement saying Vermonters have “a clear choice to break from the failed ‘old government’ policies of the past and choose truly new leadership and a new direction.”

The GOP blasted one-party Democrat rule of the state, citing $300 million in increased taxes and fees, repeated annual budget deficits and a shrinking workforce as the result. “There is no doubt that Sue Minter and the remainder of the Vermont Democrats’ nominees — all mentored by Gov. Peter Shumlin — will hold firmly to these same failed policies of the past, albeit with shiny new slogans paid for with hundreds of thousands of dollars of out-of-state special interest money.”

The Vermont Democrats said the night set up a battle between “a Democratic candidate with a clear forward-thinking agenda or a rudderless Republican.”

“Whether its opposing paid sick leave for Vermont families, being against a much-needed raise to the minimum wage for Vermont’s workers, or not believing human actions are causing climate change, Scott has chosen to represent a national Republican platform, not Vermont values,” said VDP spokesperson Christina Amestoy.

In the lieutenant governor’s race, Democrat David Zuckerman edged out fellow Democrat Shap Smith by a vote of 45 percent to 38 percent. Zuckerman will go on to face Republican Randy Brock, who ran uncontested. Kesha Ram came in third for the Democrats with 17 percent of the vote.

Zuckerman has been a strong advocate for green energy, gun control, GMO labeling laws and marijuana legalization.

Smith and Ram held similar views on most issues but failed to

The Vermont Eagle • August 20, 2016 | 11

garner the same level of interest.

In the race for attorney general, Democrat T.J. Donovan topped Brooke Paige with 80 percent of the vote. Donovan will face off against Republican Deborah Bucknam, who, among other concerns, criticized Attorney General William Sorrell for seeking to investigate opponents of climate change policies while refusing to respond to public records requests.

For the various House and Senate races, those candidates were narrowed down as well. The Vermont Legislature leans to the left of the political spectrum, with 85 Democrats versus 53 Republicans in the House. Democrats lead Republicans in the Senate by a margin of 18 to nine.
