Voting for Sorrell

I am writing this letter in support of the candidacy of Bill Sorrell for Vermont’s attorney general.

I have known Bill Sorrell for many years and know him to be an honorable and dedicated man. He has served as secretary of the administration under Gov. Dean (a very tough job) and as Vermont’s attorney general.

As is true with any good lawyer, he has won many more cases than he has lost. His efforts are responsible for tens of millions of dollars coming into the state’s coffers annually. The tobacco case he won alone brings in $25 million each year.

His opponent began reaching out to me during the last legislative session. He wanted to have a coffee and discuss the issues around the Entergy nuclear power plant. I agreed to meet with him. We didn’t meet. He reached out to me no fewer than nine times requesting a meeting and each time I agreed to meet. To this day he has yet to schedule a meeting and we have never met to discuss issues that I was under the impression were important to him.

Just today we’ve learned that Sorrell’s Consumer Protection Division has won an additional $7.1 million for Vermont. Bill Sorrell is a good man doing a good job. He deserves your support in the Democratic primary Aug. 28, or early voting if you prefer.

I’ll be voting for Bill Sorrell for Vermont’s attorney general. He is a serious man and a man of his word.
