Vermont: Independent

Independent gubernatorial candidate Anthony Pollina released a blueprint for Vermont’s energy future on Monday that called for a new way of looking at an energy policy.

“We need energy that is local, renewable and regional,” Pollina said in a statement. “Vermont owned and Vermont, community controlled. We need to declare our independence from big oil and out-of-state power.”

Two Vermont citizens have filed a complaint with the state attorney general’s office asking it to investigate independent gubernatorial candidate Anthony Pollina’s campaign for possibly violating state campaign finance law.

Michael Colby of Worcester and Boots Wardinski of Ryegate filed the joint letter with the attorney general today.

Colby, a registered independent, and Wardinsky, a state representative candidate with the Liberty Union Party, described themselves as concerned citizens who care about the political climate and civil justice in Vermont.
