MIDDLEBURY | Addison County independent candidate for the Vermont State Senate Marie Audet, a resident of Bridport, reacted strongly to an Addison Independent newspaper column last week which she described as satirizing the sexual abuse of women. The column, which appeared in the Oct. 25 issue of the paper, prompted Audet to release a news statement to local media. “Yesterday morning, the Addison Independent published Gregory Dennis’ bi-monthly column, ‘Between the Lines’. In his column, Dennis shared an ‘imaginary political discussion’ he had with President Donald Trump,” according to Audet. “His discussion included the following exchange: “‘[Gregory Dennis]: What are your thoughts about Marie Audet, the other independent in that race?

FAREWELL TO DR
By Lou Varricchio THE V ERMONT EAGLE & TRUE NORTH REPORTS
DR Power Equipment will relocate its Vergennes business operations to Wisconsin. Founded in Vergennes back in 1985, the local firm was sold to Generac, located in Wisconsin, in 2015. The sale brought many changes including the closing of a Williston facility. Some local employees will have the option to relocate along with their jobs.

MIDDLEBURY | Several Vermont candidates and voters are expressing concerns about the influence socialist and fascist-like groups may be having on the state. As seen on the web and social media, radical groups such as the Democratic Socialists of America and Antifa have active chapters in Vermont and are working to become part of the the body politic. Unlike mainstream political groups, these groups have shown a willingness to embrace aggressive protest tactics. In Vermont over the past two years, some acts of political aggression have included a death threat sent to Republican House candidate Deserae Morin, the 2017 student protest against “Bell Curve” author Charles Murray at Middlebury College, and the sabotage of the Judge Brett Cavanaugh Supreme Court hearings by protesters from Vermont. » Radical groups Cont. on pg. 2
