Replacing Savage

Rep. Peter Welch must be assuming he'll be back in office in January. He's hired a new spokesman.

It'll be former Brattleboro Reformer reporter Paul Heintz.

A news release from Welch's office says Heintz was a desk assistant for PBS' "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" and an intern with National Public Radio's "On The Media." He also interned in the office of Rep. Michael Capuano, D-Mass.

He graduated from Dartmouth College in 2006.

He replaces Andrew Savage who has been promoted to deputy chief of staff/legislative director.

Who cares what Welch does. He is an empty suit.

Welch bailed on Vermonters when he voted for the Bush Bailout. Welch decried the $700 billion bailout and voted against it as wrong to saddle the taxpayer. Then a few days later he voted for an $850 billion bailout. Just who's bidding is he doing? Certainly not Vermonters.
