Mayor Miro Weinberger When Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger is sworn in for his fourth term on April 5, he ll be surrounded by many familiar faces. The opponent he defeated by 129 votes in last week s election, Progressive Max Tracy (Ward 2), will still be on the city council and will likely remain the body s president. Councilor Ali Dieng (I-Ward 7), who finished third in the mayor s race, has another year left on his term. And of the four seats up for election on Town Meeting Day, the council added only one new member, Mark Barlow, a New North End independent who supports Weinberger and will replace Councilor Franklin Paulino, a Democrat.
Campaign signs in Burlington With just four weeks until the election, Tracy would typically be upping his ground game about now. He d be packing his Surly bicycle with lawn signs and flyers and hitting the city streets to drum up votes. In each of his other campaigns, meeting people has been his favorite part, he said. But the pandemic has forced him to campaign differently. Instead of house parties, Tracy has hosted online listening sessions with business owners and residents. Every mayoral debate is virtual, and dropping off campaign literature is a much less personal affair. Many residents will avail themselves of the mail-in ballots the city will provide to every registered, active voter.

At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income.
In order to help safeguard the future of our journalism, the time has now come to reinstate our paywall, However,
rest assured that access to all Covid related news will still remain free.
To access all other news will require a subscription, as it did pre-pandemic. The good news is that for the whole of December we will be running a special discounted offer to get 3 months access for the price of one month. Thanks you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time
