We talked to our members about it and they said, 'This sounds crazy,' but the more work we do, it looks like we can pull it off.

I'm a Vermonter. I live in Vermont. We have to take care of our own people. We have to figure out how to do this ourselves. We have these plundering Visigoths that come up to our state and they don't care. They divide and conquer and take the cream.

It's not over. It's not over at all.

Vermont companies should have a fair playing field.

They can either take a hit now, which they will with any other lousy job, or take a hit with a chance it will pay off.

We are very excited about this. We are moving forward as fast as we can.
