Last update: 5 hours agoElection Watch: Vermont’s general-election ballots went out about a week late after printing problems, Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas said.

Campaign Trail: Rutland County’s Senate candidates largely agreed on the district’s challenges but differed on health care costs: incumbents emphasized competition and more providers, while independent David Wolk called for cost controls. A Windsor County candidates forum is set for Oct. 15 in Ludlow. Rural Health: State Rep. David Soucy is urging Vermont not to return $195 million in federal rural-health funding, arguing that hospitals and clinics need the money as costs rise and Medicaid funding falls.
