My cabinet and I caught up today on Washington Co. Capital for a Day. Flood recovery, workforce, housing & economic stability were top issues. This will guide our work for the coming session but we need more balance in the legislature to make sure Vermonters' needs are put first.
I join Vermonters across the state, and especially in Franklin County, on congratulating Elle St. Pierre on an incredible Olympic journey! 8th fastest in the world is an impressive accomplishment. She is an inspiration to us all and should be proud of all she’s achieved.
Congratulations to Elle St. Pierre on a strong 3rd place finish today. Make sure to tune in on Saturday at 2:15 EST to cheer her on as she goes for the gold!
We are preparing for more rain as Debby moves north, and will continue coordinating with towns as they clear storm drains, drainage basins, ditches and culverts to reduce risk. Now is the time to prepare.
The remnants of Debby are expected to move through the region Thursday night through Friday night with increasing confidence of a wide swath of 2 to 4 inches of rain.

Elle St. Pierre is a role model for many in Vermont and across the world. Tomorrow morning, she'll be competing in the Olympic Women's 1500 in Paris. Good luck Elle!
It's been a great day hosting

With more rain in the forecast today, Vermonters should stay vigilant. Watch the weather, respect road closures, follow Vermont Emergency Management and register with the Vermont Alert system () for up-to-date information.
Rounds of showers and storms will develop today. The main concern will be if thunderstorms track across the same area multiple times, especially in sections of eastern Vermont that will be more vulnerable to additional flooding from additional rain.
Congratulations to the USA women's rugby team on their first ever Olympic medal after an incredible ending to the match! And a special congratulations to Ilona Maher who has represented Vermont well in Paris.
