What do you think?
"I am seriously thinking about running for lieutenant governor," Nease confirmed Friday. "I believe the lieutenant governor has a unique opportunity to lead, to lead in the kind of efforts that are not gubernatorial, but are important to Vermonters."
Nease said one example was then Lt. Gov. Howard Dean's efforts to examine the causes of teen suicide.
"You need to be more than the state's top cheerleader," Nease said.
Nease has been the most active (at least openly active) Democratic legislator on this site (and it's certainly great to be taken seriously). That's very cool. It would be a shame to lose him in the Legislature, however.
I suspect his prospects (and possibly his decision?) will be mightily impacted by the result of the June 2 special session, and whether or not the budget veto can be overridden. |
