Jeffords praises Palmisano despite campaign clash in Rutland
Vermont State Sen. James M. Jeffords publicly congratulated opponent Joseph Palmisano of Barre, while noting Palmisano has shifted on issues. Jeffords cited Palmisano’s recent stance on the UVM drug study, juvenile court rights, and crime causes as evidence of evolving views ahead of the Republican attorney general nomination. Palmisano, Barre’s state’s attorney, had criticized the UVM study but later endorsed it as partially funded by federal sources. Jeffords warned these reversals may reflect political calculations rather than true judgment.
