Despite Vermont becoming the first state in the U.S. to ban the practice of fracking more than two years ago , Vermonters are, to this day, willfully risking arrest to stop more fracking infrastructure from coming into their state. On Monday, 64 Vermonters were arrested at Governor Peter Shumlin's office in protest of a new fracked gas pipeline proposal - the largest civil disobedience action the state has seen since the Winooski 44's protest of the Iran-Contra scandal in 1984.
