Buckley Seeks Bennington Senate Seat in GOP Bid
Former Bennington County Senator T. Garry Buckley confirmed he is seriously considering entering the race for one of Vermont’s two Senate posts. He aims for the Republican nomination, while incumbent Allen B. Rangney Jr. has said he will not run, and Salvatore Santarcangelo has not decided. Buckley, a Bennington realtor who served 1955 to 1959, argues for tax relief and restraint, warning that rising federal state and local taxes must be offset by spending cuts. He plans to organize his business if elected.
