What is new and what has changed at TheGreenPapers.com ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recap of the past weeks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday 29 June 2004 ========================= Alabama - Run-off from 1 June Primaries (U.S. House CD 5) No candidate having received 50% or more of the vote in the 1 June 2004 Republican Primary, the two top vote getters- Gerald "Gerry" Wallace (45.18%) and Stephen P. Engel (40.20%)- faced off in a runoff. Results: Gerald Wallace (nominated: 53%), Stephen Engel (47%). http://www.TheGreenPapers.com/G04/AL.phtml#H05 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday 1 July 2004 ========================= Connecticut Lt. Governor Jodi Rell sworn in as State's second female Governor In an outdoor ceremony in the State Capital of Hartford today, Lieutenant Governor M. Jodi Rell (R-Connecticut) was formally sworn in as the Constitution State's new Governor. Governor Rell succeeded John Rowland who resigned effective at Noon Eastern Time (1600 UTC) today, said resignation publicly announced by him this past 21 June; she becomes only the second woman to hold Connecticut's highest office: the first was Democrat Ella T. Grasso who was elected Governor in 1974, re-elected in 1978 and who served until illness forced her to resign at the end of 1980. The former Governor's resignation proved the climax to a six-month-long legislative inquiry into his possible impeachment and removal from office centering around allegations involving alleged kickbacks from state contractors and further charges of inappropriate gifts from state employees. Rowland had served as Governor of Connecticut since January 1995; new Governor Rell had served in the office of Lieutenant Governor during Rowland's entire time in the State's highest office. Governor Rell will now finish out the remainder of Rowland's third four-year term, which ends in January 2007. http://www.thegreenpapers.com/G04/CT.phtml#Gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday 6 July 2004 ========================= Democratic '04 ticket is Kerry/Edwards. In an outdoor mid-morning campaign rally in Pittsburgh, PA today, Senator John F. Kerry (D-Massachusetts), the presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee, formally announced Senator John Edwards (D-North Carolina) as his choice to be Vice-President should Senator Kerry win the White House this coming November.
