Former two-term Gov. Thomas P. Salmon — known for his underdog victory in the 1972 gubernatorial race — died "peaceful" on Tuesday.

When Vermont Democrats lacked a gubernatorial candidate the afternoon of the primary deadline in August 1972, Rockingham lawyer Tom Salmon, in the most last-minute of Hail Mary passes, threw his hat in the ring.

But Salmon had his finger on the pulse of Vermont and struck a chord with an anti-development theme and a compelling catchphrase that was unequivocal: “Vermont is not for sale.”

Puerto Rico’s new Republican governor is drawing attention to Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro’s military threats against the U.S. island in the wake of President-elect Trump’s calls for U.S. territorial expansion.
