where the majority of jobs in vermont boeing to jobs -- going to people outside of vermont. i worked in a resort town up until eight months ago. the construction worker from from canada, mass., and international students. >> i do not know the answer. they're working in the connecticut and that's what happens. you get a job and they bring in their own people. this is an issue that concerned me. immigration in this country is an issue that needs to be discussed in a very serious way. we had programs called guest worker programs. do you know what those are? if the company says we need a certain type of employee and we cannot talk -- cannot find that type of employee in the u.s., and we'd go to russia or someplace else or engineers or scientists. resorts use that for a variety of reasons. he will be shocked to know that some years ago from a year in the state of vermont, apparently we do not have people who can ski instructors. did you know that? we have no one here who knows anything about skis. therefore, correct me if i'm wrong, but we bring in people from all over the world

we were part of one that were approved at 701 vermont and 594 vermont. in the case of 701 vermont, a cause ruled by mr. badner, the similarities between the lot split are hard to ignore. in 701 vermont the lot contains an apartment building faces vermont street and a single family house facing 19th street. this is a very similar situation to the manabats and hughes. in their case, there are two single family homes facing different streets. in the findings of mr. badner, he stated that granting this variance for 701 vermont is the best and most feasible manner that the owners can deal with the two buildings separately. they are simply seeking an option that will allow them to refinance and make timely improvements to their house. a lot split would allow both parties to be able to deal with their buildings separately. in addition, with 701 vermont, mr. badner ruled that the proposal does not include any construction. the physical condition of the property would not change. in the case of the manabat he is, they are not proposing any new construction. they

last week, i was on the phone with a guy from the department of vermont -- not vermont -- national rail association. vermont got $50 million, a heck of a lot of money for this state to start rebuilding our rail beds so that we could have trains going more than 15 miles per hour. [applause] all over the world they got hung up in some bureaucracy, and i think we resolved it, and i think next week that $50 million will be freed up and we're going to have people working to rebuild our rail system so we have trains that can go at a decent speed. but that's just the start. if you go to europe, if you go to japan, if you even go to china what you're seeing is high-speed rail, so we have to invest in rail, we have to improve our airports, we have to do all those things. let's do it now, create jobs. then there's another area. some of you may know that as a nation we are spending $350 billion every single year importing oil from saudi arabia and other foreign countries. i was in saudi arabia about 10 years ago. trust me, the royal family there is doing just fine. don't worry about them. they are

[ female announcer ] certain genetic factors and some medicines, such as prilosec, reduce the effect of plavix leaving you at greater risk for heart attack and stroke. your doctor may use genetic tests to determine treatment. don't stop

. >> i have a question, why do the majority of jobs in vermont go to people outside of vermont? i worked in a resort town and our construction workers were from canada, massachusetts, new york, international students running the hotels. >> on one part of that issue, we are a nation, and vermonters, i know are working in massachusetts and connecticut and that's what happens. contractors get a job and bring in their own people. i will tell you an issue we have with that that does concern me very much. immigration in this couldn't vi a serious issue and we have to deal with it in a comprehensive way. i voted against the immigration bill that came up last time primarily for one reason. you touched on that reason. we have programs called guest workers programs. guest workers programs are, a company says, we need a certain type of employee. and we can't find that employee in the united states. therefore we have to go to warsaw or someplace else. high tech companies use this for engineers and scientists. resort areas use it for a variety of reasons. you will be shocked to know, some ye
