Controversy Surrounds New TV Ad in Vermont's Governor's Race

MONTPELIER, Vt. -

A new TV ad is causing controversy amongst Vermont's candidates for governor.

Republican candidate Randy Brock put out an ad recently that targets Governor Peter Shumlin's personal life, questioning a recent land deal Shumlin took part in.

Shumlin fired back Wednesday and says he's disappointed Brock would put out the ad.

"I'm shocked to see that kind of distortion and advertising in Vermont that just isn't the way we do things here," said Shumlin.

"It shouldn't be shocking and it shouldn't be upsetting. These are all issues that we've discussed during the campaign, they're all issues that have been reported on by the media in the campaign," said Brock.

Shumlin also announced Wednesday that he would like to serve Vermont for three or four terms.

Right now he's in his first.
