100 Years with Vermont’s State Parks
You might have heard: This year the Vermont State Parks system is celebrating its 100-year anniversary. That’s a century of helping to conserve our state’s natural heritage, bolster our local economies, promote physical and mental health, and ensure Vermont communities and future generations can connect with the great outdoors.
Honoring Our Educators
As the school year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to say this to our Vermont teachers, educators, and school staff members: Thank you.
The Assault on Women’s Freedoms
As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, I held a hearing yesterday, June 4th, on “The Assault on Women’s Freedoms: How Abortion Bans Have Created a Health Care Nightmare Across America.”
How Can We Help?
It should go without saying that we are here for all Vermonters – regardless of political views or stances on the issues. So, please, if you think we can be of assistance to you, friends or family, don’t hesitate to give us a ring.
Memorial Day
Memorial Day is not simply a day for picnics, parades, and ballgames. It is a time to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives to defend our nation. It is also a time to stand together with the families and loved ones who live with that unimaginable loss.

It takes a lot of courage to stand up in front of an audience and take part in a spelling bee competition. Congratulations to all the students for all their hard work; and a special congratulations to Rutland’s own Phoenix Newell, who took home first place. The Bernie Buzz was able to catch up with Phoenix and her fellow spellers at Vermont’s statewide competition.
