Waterbury tells Shumlin: Keep the state offices here

WATERBURY - Gov. Peter Shumlin visited Waterbury to tour flood damage Thursday afternoon.

While Shumlin's message to the people whose businesses and homes were damaged was to keep smiling, Waterbury officials had a different message to try and hammer home.

State Representatives Rebecca Ellis and Tom Stevens made sure to stress how important the state complex is to the economic health of the community in response to rumors the state may relocate the hundreds of employees that work there.
