Mad River Valley Hosts First 2008 Governor’s Debate!
A big “shout out” to the Vermont National Resources Council, Robin McDermott and the Mad River Valley Localvores, and George Schenck and American Flatbread, for co-hosting the first 2008 gubernatorial debate of the election season at Mad River Valley’s Lareau Farm Pavilion on Sunday, July 20.
The rain fell in torrents, one third party candidate got arrested (Peter Diamondstone) after protesting his exclusion from the debate (independent candidate Sam Young also came, but decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and manned a booth instead), and all three of the major party candidates held forth on issues related to the environment and Vermont’s agricultural future.
Here’s some video of all three candidates’ closing statements:
