Tax Day, April Showers, and Youth Action
Tax Day! I recently came across these lines from one of the first newsletters I sent out, just prior to my first session in the legislature:
Passing The House Budget
Every year, we take up the annual Budget Adjustment Act (BAA), which is generally a “true-up” of the current fiscal year’s budget. The bill also directs any additional and available funds to support one-time needs on priorities that cannot wait for the deliberations and passage of the next state fiscal year’s budget. (Vermont’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.)
Bills on the Floor
In the last couple weeks we’ve started to see bills coming to the floor! For every bill I tell you about, there are at least two others that I’m not going into detail on. If you want to track everything passing the house you can head here https://legislature.vermont.gov/bill/passed/2024, but here are some of my favorites that are now headed to the Senate:
February Newsletter
Tomorrow (Monday) I’m going to join leadership from the Agency of Natural Resources and the Agency of Commerce for a brief event at Glen Park (59 Glen Street, Brattleboro, VT.) to celebrate the investments we’ve begun in our state’s mobile home infrastructure.
Start of 2023-24 Session
The session started on Wednesday with a great deal of ceremony and collegiality. We have almost a third of the legislature coming in with fresh, and it is such a pleasure to see their awe and inspiration and help them find their way.
