What did Ralston say? By Lou Varricchio THE V ERMONT EAGLE
MIDDLEBURY | Paul D. Ralston, a 2018 independent candidate for state senate, made a cryptic statement last week which indicates he is either considering withdrawing from the race or is not expecting to win it. Ralston made the statement at a countywide candidates forum held in Bristol on Oct. 17. “This campaign has been a bit of a Dickensian experience for me: The best of times, the worst of times. You know (the opening line from the novel) ‘A Tale of Two Cities’... I do believe it would be good for us to have fresh ideas... the best decision may be to send two women to Montpelier as our senators... .” The two women candidates Ralston was referring to are Independent Marie Audet and Democrat Ruth Hardy. » Ralston Cont. on pg. 5
Democratic challenger Christine Hallquist and Republican Gov. Phil Scott.
Scott, Hallquist face off in Rutland By Lou Varricchio THE V ERMONT EAGLE
RUTLAND | In a 90-minute-long forum recently at the historic Paramount Theater, Repubilcan Gov. Phil Scott and Democratic challenger Christine Hallquist debated taxes, ethics, schools, housing and more. The lengthy format permitted the candidates to provide 90-second answers, and 16-second rebuttals, FIRST SNOW: The Middlebury area received the first white
stuff of the season on Oct. 18. The sleety snow fell during the pre-dawn hours but evaporated quickly after sunrise. Folks living at higher elevations in Addison and Rutland counties received their first snowfall a week earlier.

Multiple medications? We can help!
to a variety of policy-related questions posed by the moderator. But before things got going, a member of the audience stood up and began making a boisterous opening remark of his own. Charles Laramie, an independent candidate for governor from Fair Haven, who was not invited to appear onstage, interrupted debate moderator Mark Johnson by shouting a long statement. “I served in the Navy and the Air Force, I swore to uphold and defend the
Constitution of the United States, and the very rights that I swore to defend … I am being denied … by those two candidates, VTDigger, Anne Galloway and the sponsors here tonight. I ask you one more time to … stand down so we’re all allowed to debate,” he said. Johnson allowed Laramie to vent for a few moments, then said, “Thank you, sir. … You had your say. You’re taking time away from the candidates.” » Governor race Cont. from pg. 11
