(The whole thing is worth a read: very forthright and thorough in its denunciation of Wilton’s campaign. Also published today in the Times Argus. – promoted by jvwalt)
I was a little surprised the Herald would come out so strongly for Pearce & against Wilton. Being legacy news, thought perhaps they wouldn’t want to irk the local readers or golfing buddies. Apparently Windy is well known in Rutland – perhaps too well. From Times Argus-Herald site is buggy today:
Pearce for treasurer
October 30,2012Beth Pearce, the incumbent state treasurer, has demonstrated a high level of professionalism and skill owing to long experience in public finance. She deserves election next week.
By contrast, her Republican challenger, Wendy Wilton, has turned the treasurer’s race into a spectacle of partisan belligerence and bogus attacks. Unlike any other candidate running for state office this year, Wilton has dragged politics into the gutter.
Wonder where Jim Douglas is hiding today. The Herald’s direct statement of truth certainly raises issues about Douglas’s support for Wilton. Maybe Ms Broughton is already tooling up for the Douglas run for the Senate? Maybe?
