Shumlin spoke Thursday about ongoing public-safety efforts, including patrols by boat on Lake Champlain, one day after reports the two convicted murderers who broke out of prison last weekend had planned to come to Vermont. The governor was joined at a Waterbury news conference by Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn and Vermont State Police director Col. Tom L'Esperance.
