Tom Salmon has called a Friday press conference according to The Rutland Herald reporter’s blog Vermont View.
After his recent interview on VPR with Jane Lindeholm and airing his “fiddler’s fart” comment perhaps he hopes to strike another note at this press opportunity or just clear the air.
His press release notes that he “respectfully invites all perfect and imperfect people” to the presser.
No note on what the presser is about, but a wild guess is that it might involve Salmon’s DUI arrest last week.
In the spirit of the invitation here are two helpful and germane quotes from my favorite self help writer
The easiest way to save face is to keep the lower half shut.
Even a fish wouldn’t get into trouble if he kept his mouth shut. ~Author Unknown

Salmon has more than just his problem with DUI to deal with, and that more is his self-admitted anger management problem (I heard him state it as such on the Mark Johnson Show a few days ago.)
I think we’re going to hear from Salmon that he’s got some serious personal issues to deal with, and he can’t deal with any of this while running for office or overseeing a government agency.
While I don’t expect him to leave his job as state Auditor, I do think we’ll hear he won’t be running for anything next year.
I just loved the Times-Argus the other day, featuring Mr Salmon on the cover giving a presentation to the Montpelier City Council on accountability and acting responsible…. just too good.
