Vt. Gov. Shumlin to declare October 'Tech Month'

Shumlin is going to be meeting at the Champlain Mill in Winooski Wednesday with representatives of some of the state's high-tech businesses to talk about the importance of high technology to the state and how important it is for the state's economy.

A proclamation he signed last month says the state has a history of attracting and supporting information technology companies that provide high-paying jobs that fit well with the state's rural character.
