The House concurrent resolution No. R-64 honors the memory of former Representative Curt McCormack of Burlington, who was a dedicated environmental advocate and a licensed electrician. McCormack served in the Vermont House of Representatives from 1982 to 1995, where he chaired the House committee on environmental issues and was a pioneer in efforts to limit chlorofluorocarbon use. After a brief departure from the legislature, he worked as the Vermont Bicycle-Pedestrian Coordinator, promoting human-powered transportation. In 2012, he returned to the General Assembly, representing Burlington and serving as the Chair of the House Committee on Transportation, where he played a key role in extending Amtrak rail service to the area.
Curt McCormack passed away from cancer on September 16, 2024, at the age of 72, leaving behind a legacy of environmental advocacy and public service. The resolution expresses the General Assembly's condolences to his family, which includes his partner, children, grandchildren, and siblings, and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to them.
