Students, staff and parents from home schools and private schools are invited to participate in National School Choice Week observations on Wednesday, January 29 at the Capital Plaza, 100 State Street, in Montpelier.
After watching initial House Judiciary Committee hearings on H.610, I was stunned that Vermont’s Office of Legislative Counsel (represented at the House Judiciary Committee by Attorney Erik Fitzpatrick) did not even address the issue of potential conflict with the Second Amendment.
The Vermont House voted Friday to raise the state’s minimum wage to $12.55 within two years, but the measure failed to garner enough votes to override a veto, should Gov. Phil Scott oppose the bill in the coming weeks.

Check out the wacky new bills Vermont’s far-left, one-party legislature is thinking about passing into law to make life more difficult and expensive for us.

Rep. Scheuermann’s statement should give even the most ardent climate warrior pause. If the Legislature passes GWSA, any “intent” may, or may not, be followed. We would be effectively handing control over any section of the economy that produces CO2 emissions to an unelected group of bureaucrats.
Vermonters are more than willing to roll up our sleeves and work together on climate solutions that are sensible, affordable and that can be measured locally in the short term for accountability. But joining TCI would hobble us.
