BURLINGTON, Vt. - Progressive Bob Kiss was elected mayor of Vermont's largest city Tuesday, winning on the second ballot of instant runoff voting under the city's new election system.

Kiss, a state representative, received 39 percent of the vote on the first ballot, while Democrat Hinda Miller had 31 percent and Republican Kevin Curley won 26 percent.

Curley and two trailing independent candidates were then dropped out of the count and their votes re-allocated according to voters' second choices.

Kiss won on the second count, with 4,761 votes to Miller's 3,986.<snip>

Vermont Towns Endorse Move to Impeach Bush

NEWFANE, Vt. - In four Vermont communities, a centuries-old tradition of residents gathering in town halls to conduct local business became a vehicle to send a message to Washington: Impeach the president.

An impeachment article, approved by a paper ballot 121-29 in Newfane Tuesday, calls on Vermont's lone member of the U.S. House, independent Rep. Bernie Sanders, to file articles of impeachment against President Bush, alleging he misled the nation into the Iraq war and engaged in illegal domestic spying.

"It absolutely affects us locally," said Newfane select board member Dan DeWalt, who drafted the impeachment article. "It's our sons and daughters, our mothers and fathers, who are dying" in the war in Iraq.
