What does Peter Shumlin have in common with Arnold Schwarzeneggar? Both are recipients of the so-called “Green Governor of the Year” award, handed out annually by the business group Opportunity Green.
Shumlin earned the nod for his efforts to position Vermont to “get a piece” of the economic activity he anticipates as a result of the renewable-energy boom.
Shumlin hit the West Coast this week for a daylong swing in Los Angeles to pick up the hardware. Accompanying him was former campaign manager and current Secretary of Civil and Military Affairs Alex MacLean. New York-based private-sector energy developer Beautiful Earth Group picked up travel expenses for both.
Shumlin spokeswoman Susan Allen said there was no fundraising during the trip.
