Montpelier, Vt. – Governor Phil Scott today issued the following statement regarding the passing of former Vermont State Representative Bernie Juskiewicz.
“It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of former state representative and UVM trustee Bernie Juskiewicz.
“Bernie served the people of Cambridge and Waterville with distinction in the House of Representatives, always placing their interests first. I had the privilege of working with him during his time in the legislature and saw firsthand just how committed he was to his community.
