Burlington police chief pick draws scrutiny over discrimination claims

Accusations of gender discrimination in past jobs, complaints about a murky selection process and concerns about timing so close to elections shadowed City Council's appointment of Anthony Geraci as Burlington's next police chief . Councilors approved Geraci, who led departments in New York, in a 10-2 vote Nov. 9, but not before a range of objections from Democrats. Ward 6 Councilor Becca Brown McKnight raised concerns of “institutional sexism,” saying workplace allegations of gender discrimination against Geraci had not been thoroughly investigated by the mayor or hiring committee. "About a year and a half ago, I confirmed somebody onto a city committee who turned out to have a troubling background in terms of how he treated women," said McKnight, a Democrat. "Instead, I chose to go along with the flow, to move things along and to be polite. And at that time, I didn't do enough to dig deeper and ask the right questions. And that was the wrong choice, and I own that, and now I'm trying to do better."

Social Dances Offer Fun, Connection and an Antidote to Winter Isolation

Before Jack Daly of Burlington showed up at his first social dance in 2016, the only dancing he’d done besides “jumping up and down at rock concerts” involved a single frustrating salsa class with a very stern teacher. But in the dark winter months after the breakup of his marriage, the then-64-year-old’s spirits were low. He hadn’t gotten out of the house in a while. When he heard about a pop-up dance event just around the corner on Pine Street, he checked it out.

5 College Towns Worth the Trip on a Campus Tour Road Trip

Planned well, though, they can be one of the best road trips you’ll take as a family. College towns pack great food, walkable downtowns and easy access to the outdoors into a small area. Touring them is also a rare chance to spend a few days with your teen before life gets busy.
