Mayor Miro Weinberger Statement in Response to Governor Peter Shumlin’s Announcement that He Will Not Seek Reelection
“Governor Shumlin led the state back from the devastation of Hurricane Irene and the economic damage of the great recession. Vermont is enjoying a time of significant momentum and promise thanks in many ways to the Governor’s leadership. The Governor has been a loyal friend to Vermont’s increasingly vibrant downtowns and to Lake Champlain and our state’s beautiful natural environment. The Governor and the energetic and talented team he’s built have been a large part of Burlington’s progress over the last three years, and I am thankful we will have the opportunity to continue our work together for another 18 months.”
