Mayoral, not mayorial.  I had a few searches on “Burlington Mayorial Race” turn up here.  I hope I never said that.
Okay, okay, so here’s where you get to hear my take on who won the debate.
No one!  Ha!  How do you like that cop out?
Seriously, I do not think there was a winner in the [...]

I will get to it.
In the meantime, check out this video the tells it like it is about Mayor Bob Kiss.

The video is very good. It focuses on things [...]

Today.  5:25.  In this very spot.  Be here, or be a sphere.
(I stole that line from Dave Barry.  He’s much funnier than I am.)
5:25 – The debate is starting.  No James Simpson!  This debate suddenly got less fun.
First question – tell us why you are the best person to be the next mayor.
Kurt, seriously.  You [...]

Channel 17 is having their mayoral debate tomorrow (Tue. 2/10) at 5:25 PM.
You don’t want to miss this.  All five candidates for mayor will be there, including the now-infamous James Simpson, Green candidate.
I will be live-blogging it here at She’s Right.  I will probably just do the old school live-blog in a post, not using [...]

Tonight is the Seven Days mayoral debate.  I can’t go due to family obligations.  I just read at Blurt that WPTZ will have live coverage online, for those of you who cannot attend.
There will me more debates.  Hopefully, I can attend at least one in person.
Here are two that I know of:

The other day, I linked to the Free Press editorial opposing the 9.14% increase requested by the Burlington School District.  Free Press Executive Editor Mike Townsend gave District Superintendent Jeanne Collins and School Board Finance Chair Fred Lane a chance to defend the budget.  He relays that conversation over at his blog, Twitterings, by Townsend.

Yesterday, I was reading some of the comments on a couple of posts over at Burlington Pol about Burlington Mayoral candidate Dan Smith.  It seems people have questions about this political newcomer.
Who is this guy?
Where’s he from?
Is he a Republican? [Cue sinister background track]
I was going to do a post this morning that attempted to [...]

Hey blog readers, long time no post.  Sorry about that.  See, as you probably know, I homeschool three active young boys and we are only a couple of weeks away from Christmas.  It is utter madness around here.  Utter.  Madness.  (Don’t you hate it when people do that?  Do. That.  I do.  Almost as much [...]

We are just a few short months away from my favorite election of the year – Town Meeting Day. This year will be even more eventful than usual, with a hotly contested mayoral race.
So far, we have a political newcomer, independent Dan Smith, and long-time Democratic City Councilor Andy Montroll throwing their hats in [...]
