On Town Meeting Day, Burlington, Vermont voters elected one new city councilor and re-elected three councilors and the mayor. They were sworn in Monday and the mayor delivered his state of the city address, which focused on racial justice efforts.
The first item on the Burlington City Council’s organization day agenda tasked city attorney Eileen Blackwood with swearing in Democratic Mayor Miro Weinberger to his fourth three-year term. “Mr. Weinberger would you please rise and raise your right hand?”
Weinberger: “Under the pains and penalties of perjury I Miro Weinberger do solemnly swear and affirm that I will faithfully execute the duties of the office of mayor to the best of my judgement and abilities according to law.”
