A Victory for Public Banking in Vermont

A Victory for Public Banking in Vermont

On August 20, the Vermont Superior Court ruled that the City of Montpelier had violated Gwendolyn Hallsmith's civil rights when they fired her for her advocacy of public banking. The scandal erupted when the mayor, a paid lobbyist for Bank of America and Wells Fargo, wrote to the City Manager demanding that something be done about the "anti-capitalist" planning and community development director. At the subsequent Montpelier Town Meeting this past March, a resolution in support of public banking got more votes than the mayor did, a serious rebuttal to his charges that Gwen's outside advocacy was inconsistent with her work as a Montpelier city official.
