Vermont Democrats have nothing relevant to say about popular incumbent GOP Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie – so they just roll out the old tired attack lines that use on everybody.  From WPTZ-TV:

Freeman has proposed creating of a new state department of energy to coordinate programs and policy.

Tom Costello, 63, of Brattleboro, is a veteran trial lawyer running for lieutenant governor as a Democrat. He served for 10 years in the Legislature in the 1970s and again in the 1990s, parts of which time he served as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

While campaigning in South Burlington on Monday, Costello suggested a new mechanism to help struggling taxpayers remain in their homes: “If homeowners can’t pay their property tax bill, the state would pay it instead, forming a lien against their house, and when they die, or sell their home, the state would be repaid with interest.”

Costello said incumbent Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie has shown a “lack of leadership” over six years in office.
