Gram Fan Thank you for reinstating the Fair Game column and giving Dave Gram a public voice. I ve been in withdrawal since his sudden departure from WDEV Radio [Off Message: Media Note: WDEV Cancels Dave Gram s Talk Show, November 9, 2020]. I don t always agree with him or any others who have written Fair Game but I appreciate being challenged to think about and reevaluate my positions. I also appreciate insights and facts that I hadn t heard before. Once again, I m very grateful for the way you carry out your mission and for bringing back both Fair Game and Dave Gram. Jane Mitiguy
Twelve years ago last Thursday, Vermont said goodbye to
Seven Days political columnist Peter Freyne. January 7, 2009, was the first day of that year s legislative session, so lawmakers honored his passing with a moment of silence. Not all of them liked Freyne, to put it mildly, but they sure as heck read his Inside Track every week. In fact, his weekly column was all the news we provided in the early days of the paper. When Freyne s byline first appeared in
Seven Days, on October 18, 1995, the paper became a must-read for Vermonters who follow local politics. For 13 years, until he retired in 2008, Freyne chronicled the policies and peccadilloes of characters such as Ritchie Rich Tarrant, Queen Madeleine Kunin and Ol Bernardo Sanders. Inside Track broke news, too. It was informative and entertaining.

Seven Days is restarting its Fair Game column. Longtime Vermont journalist Dave Gram will author the weekly take on Vermont politics, sharing his observations about the maneuvering in Montpelier and life in the Green Mountain State. His inaugural column will appear on January 13, 2021.
Gram was an award-winning reporter for the Associated Press for more than three decades. More recently, he hosted “The Dave Gram Show” on WDEV radio, examining a variety of topics on the air for 10 hours each week.
To write Fair Game, Gram will turn his experienced eye to the state’s political scene but will also hunt for material beyond the State House, tackling both local and statewide issues. His work will supplement reporting by the paper’s existing news team.
