Gov. Phil Scott has appointed a new lawmaker to fill a vacant Burlington House seat.
But Democrats say the governor ignored their local committee’s recommendations about who should fill it.
The new Democratic Rep. Kevin Scully, who will represent Burlington’s New North End, was appointed Thursday to serve the rest of former Rep. Bob Hooper’s term.
Hooper, also a Democrat, resigned in Mar
