MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) – A Vermont Judge Thursday heard arguments in the case over whether the state’s interim education secretary can stay on the job.
Two Democratic lawmakers this summer sued Governor Phil Scott over his appointment of Interim Education Secretary Zoie Saunders.
It comes after the Senate voted in April 19 to 9 to reject Saunders’ confirmation as education secretary, citing concerns about her background and qualifications. Moments later, the governor appointed Saunders interim secretary.
Senators Tanya Vyhovsky, P/D-Chittenden County, and Dick McCormack, D-Windsor County, allege the governor circumvented the Vermont Constitution which says confirmations need the advice and consent of the state senate.

“If you do not read this sentence as we are arguing it, there is no effective check and balance by the Senate. The governor would be able to reappoint by fiat,” said John Franco, a lawyer for the senators.
“This dispute isn’t really a dispute about the function of law or the constitution, it’s a political dispute about Secretary Saunders personally,” said David Golubock, a lawyer representing the Scott administration.
Judge Robert Mello is expected to make a decision in the case in the coming days.
It’s that time of the year, everyone. High school football games kicked off throughout the state of Vermont Sep. 19-21 and there was plenty of great action taking place.
The No. 1 team in the Green Mountain State continues to be Champlain Valley Union followed by a new No. 2 in Rutland.
Here’s the complete breakdown of Vermont’s elite high school football teams, heading into Week 5 of the 2024 season, as we see it.

The Raiders’ latest victim on the 2024 schedule was Laconia, cruising to a 34-12 victory. Up next is Burr & Barton this week.
Up against the previous No. 3 team in the state in Hartford, Middlebury proved why they needed to leapfrog them. The Tigers defeated the Hurricanes 21-7 and bump up a spot in this week’s rankings.
The Wasps have been pretty dominant over the first three games, out-scoring opponents 123-41. Up next they face U-32.

The bounce back was real for Burlington as they defeated U-32 in a slugfest. 28-21. Now they’ll take their show on the road against Bellows Free Academy this week.
It’s been a tough slate of games to start the season for the Hurricanes, but we won’t completely rule them out. We did need to bump them down a few spots after a 21-7 loss to Middlebury, however.
A 27-7 victory over Poultney keeps the undefeated roll going for Bellow Free Academy/Fairfax. Next up is a matchup against Spaulding.
The Slaters entered the rankings last week as the No. 10 team, but move up the after the dismantling of Lyndon Institute, 35-0. This Fair Haven bunch proved they’re for real.
Looking at what the Green Knights have done already, they deserve to make their way up in these rankings. They’re coming off a 56-6 victory over Missisquoi Valley.

We will let it slide when it comes to the 52-13 loss to No. 1 Champlain Valley Union earlier this season. The Hornets make their way in after a 24-20 victory over Burr & Barton.

VERMONT – Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park and the Woodstock Police Department are urging caution after receiving multiple reports of an agressive fox near the Faulkner Trail on Mount Tom. Rabies is a suspected cause.
If anyone encounters agressive wildlife in the area around Mount Tom, they should immediately notify local police or park staff. If you come in contact with an agressive animal, seek medical attention immediately.
Rabies spreads through saliva, potentially during a scratch, bite, or mucus membrane contact. With proper medical care, rabies is very preventable in people, but it becomes very fatal if it goes untreated before developing. Animals that behave in an unusual or agressive manner, or who don’t appear to fear humans, should be considered to have rabies. All mammals are susceptible to the disease.

Take the following precautions to protect yourself from rabies:
Visitors should observe all wildlife from a safe and respectful distance and never pick up or handle a wild animal. Never approach or touch wildlife. If you see sick or erratic behaving wildlife, notify a park employee at 802-457-3368 or call the Woodstock Police Department at 802-457-2337.
Anyone who has had contact with a wild animal in the park should notify a park employee as soon as possible. You should consult with your doctor in the event you have contacted an animal thought to be rabid.
Pets should always be on a leash of no more than 6-feet when on park trails.
Visitors with pets should ensure that all rabies vaccinations are up to date and should discuss any wildlife bites with their veterinarian.
