Vermont has advanced a groundbreaking bill targeting oil and gas companies for climate cleanup costs.

“I’m proud to vote yes today to respond to the greatest overarching existential threat of our time,” said @BeccaWhiteVT.

Yesterday, Governor Scott created a false narrative that Act 250 reform cannot accommodate VT's housing needs and environmental protection simultaneously. Finding the right balance is key, but VNRC believes these two critically important issues are not mutually exclusive. #vtpoli

Vermont is now joining Maryland, Massachusetts, and New York in a multi-state effort to hold Big Oil accountable for the expensive damage wrought by climate change. https://t.co/FL6D2ilHmA

ICYMI I wrote about legislation in Vermont & several other states - a "climate superfund" bill - to make #BigOil help pay for climate damage & adaptation costs

🌱 Act 250 Reform: Balancing Development & Conservation in VT

What if project location, not size, triggered Act 250 review? That way, housing could be streamlined in town centers while protecting natural spaces. Join the conversation on Act 250 reform in Vermont. #vtpoli

[NWS Burlington @NWSBurlington]

Life threatening flash flooding continues across much of Vermont today. If traveling, heed all road closures and never attempt to drive around barriers blocking a flooded road. Many flood deaths occur in cars swept downstream. It is NEVER safe to drive or walk into flood waters!

Let's discuss Act 250: Vermont's environmental review for development. It preserves resources, towns, and communities, while giving Vermonters a voice. However, it needs updating to address climate change, housing, and forest concerns. Read on for more. #vtpoli 🌿🏡
