My Department @ND_AMST is searching for a new director of the Gallivan Program in Journalism, Ethics, and Democracy. This is a cool gig that can be tailored as tenured, tenure-track, or teaching faculty, depending on the candidate's needs and interests.

Turns out there are at least three more debates/forums between the two candidates in the Chittenden state's attorney Democratic primary:
In her first (and perhaps only) tete-a-tete with Democratic primary challenger Ted Kenney, Chittenden State's Attorney @SarahFairVT said Kenney was 'scapegoating' her for an uptick in certain types of crimes.

Flagging a line in this story that garnered attention and has since been corrected.
Apologies for the error.
Black people account for 6.2% of Burlington's population, but 36% of people on whom @OneNorthAvenue used force last year.
@voxcustodes and the city's police commission are at odds as to whether that disparity is because of racial bias.

Join us today at noon: host @MikaelaLefrak speaks with Jack @LyonsReports of about #BTV #Burlington's short-term rental ordinances. Then, a look at #affordablehousing & short-term rentals with @lamoillehousing's Jim Lovinsky & @VermontSTRA's Julie Marks #vtpoli #housing
In March, after voters denied @BTVMayor his proposed tax rate hike, the mayor said he couldn't guarantee that all city employees would keep their jobs.
But the $96.5 million budget that passed #btvcc this week didn't include layoffs.
For @vtdigger: vtdigger.org/2022/06/28/burl…
After two-and-a-half years, Burlington is poised to enact restrictions on the short-term rental industry (properties such as Airbnbs and Vrbos).
Read more in my story for @vtdigger: vtdigger.org/2022/06/28/burl…
The Burlington City Council is set to vote on an ordinance regulating short-term rentals (Airbnbs) tonight, perhaps the culmination of a two-and-a-half-year effort.
If you haven't been following, get up to speed quickly with @vtdigger: vtdigger.org/2022/06/26/four…
Also at tonight's meeting, the council is slated to vote on the city's annual budget. Read more about how councilors have reacted to @BTVMayor's proposed budget for the police department here:
