On April 12, Tom Salmon will be holding a “Town Hall” in Bradford, VT, ostensibly answering questions like “Where does your tax money go”, “What about Vermont’s finances and reform initiatives?” and “Where is Vermont’s fiscal future going?”
Ownership of the event is a bit unclear, but it was recently announced by an anonymous poster on an Upper Valley list serv. The poster was soon discovered to be the contact person listed by the Ethan Allen Institute as the regional Tea Party contact, and when pressed declared herself to be someone called “Peg.”
As of today, the event is publicized by the Mountain Rangers Tea Party as well as the Patriot Action Network‘s local branch (but, oddly, it is not listed as an official Vermont Tea Party even, nor is it on the calendar for the Upper Valley Tea Party or the Green Mountain Patriots — it would appear that the ‘baggers roll a bit like the People’s Front of Judea, with lots of splitters obscuring the true nature and organizational prowess of their supposedly silent but deadly majority).
I plan to attend Auditor and Republican candidate Salmon’s event to listen to his “answers” and I would be grateful to hear from GMD posters with any questions that I might ask of Mr. Salmon to get a better sense of where this ex-Democrat, soon-to-be ex auditor, current sweetheart of the Tea Party stands on things.
Which one will show up? Tom Salmon Vermont Auditor who will not seek re-election to that post again or the authentic self-utilizing power Tom Salmon, potential senate candidate .
Also will he have the video camera he purchased with state funds for $559.92 last summer and filmed himself at a private campaign fundraiser?
Conflicting interests ?
Many of the announcements read more like its candidate Tom making the rounds.
After all how often does the Vermont Auditor appearance rate this? Who’s picking up the tab?

Why do you want to run for Senator?
Do you follow in Newt Gringrich footsteps and run to attract attention and money to make a living?
.
Does the Auditor’s Office have a role in determining the value of a private contractor working for the State of Vermont? If not, why?
Could you tell me your interpretation of how private contracts are currently approved in the State of Vermont?
Mark it “Return to Sender.”
She’s a nice lady on a personal level, but politically she’s what people would call a shit-stirrer.
In fact, I was wondering what she was up to since November didn’t work out for her.
“Man, that Salmon fuck. We tried to repo his car once. You know he doesn’t pay his bills? Fucking Buknatski told us. How is it you got a stiff like this thinks he can run against Bernie?”
“Yeah man, I like Bernie.”
“Shut up, man. Anyway, we’re gonna be following him on his fucking campaign. He’ll be shaking hands with them Tea Party pigs…”
“I don’t like that Tea Party, man. They hate Hispanics…”
“Will you shut the fuck up, man! He’ll be shaking hands while we’re drivin’ off with his car.”
“Yeah, see what he’s got in the trunk, man.”
“I was gonna say that, man. Yeah. See what he’s carrying in the trunk of his car. Probably something really ripe, way he acts.”
if he can rule out a gubernatorial bid & who writes those ‘speeches’.
Assure him there are quite alot of Salmon-watchers who are strong supporters of his challenge & strongly encourage his run.
