After an exhaustive review, the
Burlington Free Press announced this week the top local news story for 2009
and the
Vermonter of the Year recipient.
Top story? The passage of the gay marriage bill. Just for the information of readers, here are some other stories which did not win:
- Vermont unemployment hits a 15 year high (3rd).
- National Guard deployment (4th).
- Rescue of Captain Phillips (5th).
Notwithstanding, the
Not-So-Free Press picks the gay marriage story. But wait, it gets better! Who is the
Vermonter of the Year? Beth Robinson.
RedStateVT must admit that we had no idea who Beth Robinson was until we read the story. It turns out Robinson is the lawyer who led the fight for......you guessed it: gay marriage! The editors over at the
Free Press must be high-fiving each other over the incredible symmetry of these events.
Just so you know, Captain Phillips and philanthropist Lois McClure were nominated, but did not win. Welcome to Vermont.
