Today we break ground on a major project @BTVAirport. For the past three years I have worked with the FAA to ensure #BTV would be eligible for new federal investment in its terminal, and helped secure $15 million in federal funds to make this project a reality. 
At its heart this project is about two things: improving the traveler experience and increasing the destinations you can reach from Burlington. Does anyone enjoy the stress of waiting in a long line to go through security? #BTV
These upgrades will make the #BTV airport run better at peak times when travelers are rushing in the morning to catch their flights. The other major benefit is that travelers won’t miss out on flight options as airlines shuffle what planes they fly and where they fly them.
There’s much to love about @Amtrak’s proposed new service map. Over the past decade I worked in the #Appropriations Committee to secure millions of dollars to extend the Ethan Allen from Rutland to #BTV. The construction work making that expansion will be completed this year.
On the #Appropriations Committee I’ve always made #Amtrak a funding priority. We also secured Obama-era ARRA funds to make major investments in the #Vermonter route to increase its speeds. These prior federal investments make the #VT expansions Amtrak has laid out possible.
My 2016 #preclearance legislation set the table for extending the Vermonter to #MTL & I look forward to working with Pres. Biden, @Amtrak & Canadian officials to finally restore that service. Connecting #VT & Montreal by rail will offer an important boost to Vermont’s economy.
Yesterday the @TimesArgus published a story about the senseless murder of Courtney Gaboriault at the hands of her abusive ex-boyfriend. This fundamentally flawed article demands a formal response. #btv #vt #vtpoli timesargus.com/articles/offic…
Despite the headline, the @timesargus spends considerable space glorifying a domestic abuser and murderer, and dismissing his victim as an afterthought. And let’s be clear: He is no victim. #btv #vt #vtpoli
