Sanders

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.); Kristy Oxholm, president of the Vermont State Firefighters Association; Jim Finger, president of the American Ambulance Association; Jim Litevich, chief of the Vermont Fire Academy; Gary Dillon of the Waterbury Volunteer Fire Department; Dean Gilmore of the New Haven Volunteer Fire Department; Tom Hooker, chief of the Pittsford Volunteer Fire Department; and Charles Cole, chief of the Essex Fire Department. At a time when many local fire departments are finding it difficult to retain and recruit the volunteers they need, Sanders will discuss federal funding he secured to help address those needs. 

Sen. Bernie Sanders called for a new Financial Product Safety Commission to protect consumers from abusive lenders and also announced a $130,000 federal grant to improve financial literacy for young people in Vermont. Sanders was joined at the press conference in Burlington, Vt., by Joseph G. Bergeron, president of the Association of Vermont Credit Unions, which will work with local business leaders, educators and volunteers, to teach middle and high school students the importance of financial literacy.
