RSSVermont Parties To Hold Conventions
Wednesday, 11/11/09 10:30am
Vermont's Democratic, Republican and Progressive parties meet for their annual conventions this weekend.
Progressives gather first at the Old Labor Hall in Barre to hear talks about health reform and the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant and to elect officers.
Republicans meet at the Montpelier Elks Lodge. They'll be filling the position of party chair because the incumbent, Rob Roper, has decided not to seek re-election.
The Democrats will meet at the Old Labor Hall. They'll hear from U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders. Congressman Peter Welch won't be there because he's traveling to Pakistan.
