Fun times up here in the North Country! So, as a caveat... I do not live in Burlington but I do work here so while I am interested in the political scene it is an arm's length interest. Back to my regularly scheduled program. On Tuesday, Burlington held the mayoral election. We have traditionally enjoyed electing ya-yos that might make most folks cringe (Bernie Sanders). This year we had the incumbent ya yo Bob Kiss, Democrat Andy Montroll, Independent Dan Smith, Republican Kurt Wright... and some other characters. So the fun part is that Wright won the initial election his 2951 votes easily outdistancing Kiss w/2585. Having not reached a majority though they went into an instant run off. Wright wins again. But, he still does not have a majority, run off part deux! Finally Kiss gets a majority and becomes the mayor even though he lost the initial vote and lost 2 of 3 votes over all. Vermont politics... They're FANTASTIC!!!!!
