State Auditor Tom Salmon, who had previously said he would not seek another term, says he’ll run for re-election as auditor after all.
Salmon says his decision was was based on the need for continuity as Vermont recovers from Tropical Storm Irene’s floods.
"I have examined a number of options, but the impact of Irene on Vermont helped me to understand that the best way for me to serve Vermont is to continue as state auditor," Salmon wrote in an open letter addressed to "Vermonters."
Salmon says he believes his office will continue to play an important role in recovery, especially in working with federal agencies.
