Quote of the Day

August 28, 2008

"We don't have any illusions in the judicial branch about the somewhat pessimistic economic news that we're facing. The court system knows that it needs to participate with everyone else in government and with all Vermonters in identifying ways to make it through this tough time."

– Patricia Gabel, spokeswoman for the Vermont Supreme Court, on a set of budget cuts that may result in the closure of state courthouses for half a day each week starting Oct. 1.
