Anne Galloway, editor of Vtdigger.org

We hope you enjoyed VTdigger.orgโ€™s election coverage.

Our team of volunteers and freelance reporters and photographers worked hard to bring you up-to-the-minute election night reports in real time from Montpelier and Burlington on Nov. 2.

I want to thank Terry Allen, Patrick Joy, Josh Larkin, Daphne Larkin, Kate Robinson and Susan Youngwood who, with enthusiastic gumption, stayed up late gathering material, chasing down leads, posting video, shooting stills and throwing out factoids about the races. Special thanks to Josh Larkin, who created new sections for the Web site on the fly. And many thanks to David Healy who donated a town by town electoral map the day after the election.

VTdigger.org is growing fast. More readers than ever have found us in the last few months. Since September, our readership has ballooned from 11,000 unique visitors a month to 19,000 a month.

We want to continue to provide the kind of reporting youโ€™ve come to expect.

If you appreciated our in-depth examination of campaign finance expenditures and our analysis of key policy initiatives โ€“ such as Shumlinโ€™s plan to adopt a single payer health care system and Dubieโ€™s tax cut proposals — we would appreciate your help.

Please become a sustaining member of VTdigger.org by making an annual donation of $35, $50 or $100. Your contribution will enable us to keep digging into public policy issues โ€“ including the budget gap, school consolidation and access to affordable energy — that matter most to you in the coming months.
