VSEA is sharing this statement from the Vermont State Police and Vermont Troopers Association, asking labor and the public to donate to help out the family.
VSP Statement:
Corporal Eric Vitali was involved in a serious on-duty motor vehicle crash on I-89 northbound in the town of Bethel, VT, on March 8, 2024. His cruiser sustained massive front-end damage and crushing of the driver’s compartment. He was life-flighted to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH. Eric suffered life-threatening traumatic injuries, and his condition is critical. His injuries include a traumatic brain injury, spinal fractures, and pelvis fracture. His doctors are indicating that the coming 72 hours will be critical in determining the outcome of his recovery.
The state’s latest health care reform efforts, once again, do not appear to address the most urgent problems Vermonters now face – access and affordability. Rather, they represent a doubling down on the failed approaches of the past eight years.
It is critical that legislators block these efforts until clear descriptions and measurable goals are provided on how this proposed initiative will solve the very real and worsening problems we are experiencing.
Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and invaluable contributions of women everywhere, from Vermont to every corner of the globe!
At VSEA, we recognize the vital role that women play in shaping our communities, our workplaces, and our future. From fighting for fair wages to advocating for better working conditions, women have been at the forefront of the labor movement, driving positive change and inspiring generations.
Let’s take a moment to recognize the progress we’ve made in advancing women’s rights and equality, but also acknowledge the work that still lies ahead. Together, we can continue to break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women out there! Today, and every day, we celebrate you.
