I'm proud of our #Vermont team, hard at work in #Colorado, helping them recover from last week's devastating flooding.

Bringing this year's garlic in to dry.

Just got back from foraging. Chanterelles must like record rainfall!

Today I toured Lorenzo Whitcomb's farm. We won't know the impact of this wet weather until harvest season. But you only have to look around Lorenzo's fields to understand that damage to Vermont farms is serious and extensive. We are committed to doing everything possible to get our farms the info and assistance available. #vermontbyvermonters

I announced today a public-private partnership to enable communities across the state to launch or expand publicly funded pre-kindergarten programs that give children a strong start on education and eventually lead to improved school performance. Instagram: @govpetershumlin

With Louis Garneau, breaking ground on a new 60,000 sq. ft. Garneau facility in Derby. This is great news for Vermont's jobs future. Instagram: @govpetershumlin

Today's DOMA decision is a critical step toward equality for all families. Married same-sex couples in a dozen states nationwide now cannot be deprived by the federal government of the rights and benefits they deserve. This is an historic decision. In Vermont, we have known for a long time that all of us, regardless of whether we are straight or gay, deserve the same right to marry the person we love. I will always remember with immense pride the day we made Vermont the first state to enact same-sex marriage through legislation. It was a hard fight, but it was the right fight. While it helped pave the way for the Court's DOMA decision today, it is clear we have more to do to ensure equality for all across America. This is a matter of human rights, of true dignity and respect for all.

I signed legislation today to help clean and redevelop #brownfields, or former industrial and commercial sites that are unusable due to contamination. These redevelopment projects will help create jobs, improve our communities and protect our environment from harmful pollutants.

Vermont becomes 17th state to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana

I am proud to have signed legislation to decriminalize possession of limited amounts of marijuana. Our finite resources should be focused on reducing abuse and addiction of opiates like heroin rather than cracking down on people for having very small amounts of #marijuana. #vermont #vtforward
