Vt. lawmakers re-elect 2 to colleges board

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Two Vermont House members have been re-elected to the seats they also hold on the Vermont State Colleges Board of Trustees.

Reps. Tim Jerman and Jim Masland, both Democrats, were declared re-elected on Thursday after a joint session of the Legislature produced no other nominees for two open posts.

Their current terms expire on Feb. 28. They serve with two other legislators whose terms expire in 2016. They are Lynn Dickenson and Bill Lippert.

Legislators make up four of the board’s 15 trustees.
