Colchester, VT - Governor Jim Douglas was joined at Severance Corners by Robin Jeffers from S.D. Ireland Concrete Construction and Bart Frisbee, President of Sterling Construction to talk about barriers to job creation and pro-environment development in Vermont.
Against opposition from House Speaker Gaye Symington, Governor Douglas has consistently advanced a pro-environment, pro-jobs agenda that balances our environmental ethic and our economic prosperity. While Governor Douglas has worked to empower business leaders with the tools they need to grow good jobs and a healthy economy, Gaye Symington has stood in the way.
