With state and national candidate campaigning heating up, and Middlebury voters going to the polls to vote on the Vermont Gas easement question next week, many area residents may be thinking about how they are going to vote in the Nov.

Ruth Hardy and Chris Bray are clear, strong voices for us in Montpelier, and I look forward to voting for their reelection to the Vermont Senate.

Senator Chris Bray (and other legislative leaders) are working hard to help Vermonters move off of the high-cost, price-volatile roller coaster of imported fossil fuels. He deserves our appreciation for this important work.
