the lesson for vermont government in helping to grow jobs in vermont is pretty simple. getting credit to entrepreneurs when they need it most grows prosperity and grows jobs. in fact, there is nothing to stand in the way of vermont's job creators that cannot be made right by a partnership with state government that's built on a foundation of common sense, trust and expedited risk capital for businesses when others won't lend to them. vermont's response to irene perfectly illustrates the strong state of our state. perhaps the greatest lesson we can take from the challenges of the previous four months is that despite irene's devastation, despite our heartbreak and our pain, we are bound by a common purpose. we're also bound by tragic loss. to the hundreds and hundreds of vermonters who lost so much, lost their houses, lost their belongings, lost the land that their homes rested on or the land that they tilled, we stand with you in a long recovery that lies ahead to help you close the gap between your hopes and dreams that were washed away and the paltry $30,200 maximum re

the guard troops from around the country, we built us vermont strong and vermont honors you. stand up, team, we need you. thank you so much. [ applause ] >> in this public private partnership with winter looming, we did it right with vermont ingenuity, fiscal prudence and common sense. we rebuilt, for 35 cents on the dollar, bringing total estimated damage down to 250 million for state roads and infrastructure and 140 million for town roads thanks to the skill of the best congressional delegation in america, senator leahy, senator welch, the leahy amendment became law to make sure we would get federal aid in our time of need, bringing the general fund to $30 million. please recognize me in the great work of senator leahy, senator welch and the partners at fema. [ applause ] >> there are two lessons we must add to our experience in the past four months. it is clear that after irene, if we can build 35 damaged roads and 34 damaged bridges for a fraction of the normal cost with dwindling resources in our future. we must apply those same lessons to maintaining and rebuilding verm

vermont strong. [applause] you know, i could devote this entire speech to the recovery because i believe that tropical storm irene represents a defining moment in history. but now is our moment to apply the same courage, strength and ingenuity to our most pressing need with jobs and prosperity for all vermonters. having witnessed what vermonters can get done when we get together, i've never been more optimistic about our ability of getting tough things done and helping us growth jobs and 2012. if we can rebuild destroyed roads and bridges in less than four months, we can meet my promise of connecting every corner of vermont to high-speed internet and vastly improve the self-service by the end of 2013. in the past year we connected 7500 locations and installed 1600 miles of fiber in our ongoing effort to connect vermont. we are going to keep our promise of closing vermont's connectivity gap, and we are going to grow jobs as we connect.
