The bill’s dramatic demise disappointed Rep. Marc Mihaly, D-Calais, its sponsor. “It’s not like we need more testimony,” he said. “What we need is people making decisions.”

Two years ago, I vetoed what became Act 181 because I knew it would have devastating consequences for rural Vermont. Montpelier should be focusing on how to give Vermonters a leg up, not making it harder and more expensive for rural communities to grow and thrive.

Yesterday, the House majority finally listened to the voices of rural Vermonters and voted to repeal the most harmful aspects of Act 181.

I'm appreciative of legislators who have long advocated for this. I hope Vermonters stay engaged as S.325 moves back to the Senate.

Ad nauseam indeed,🙏Representative; thank you, profusely.

Subtly, the most principal of all fundamental points, was offered deep into the 15th minute of Vermont Public's latest Vermont This Week—deftly, at 15:54—to prompt🤝reiteration....

Never forget.

@C_Hurl802 @Dame4VT @AnyaTynio Chris I respect this response so much that I have half a mind to start rooting for your Buffalo Bills… It remains a tad peculiar, however, that he still hasn’t quite completed his commitment to resignation. I wish him recovery from all this, should he shift into gear properly.

Senate seat in limbo as Sam Douglass, who says he’ll resign, still heads body helping pick his replacement - VTDigger 🤦‍♂️ word to the wise: if (somehow-still-active) Sen. Douglass wants to give his County Committee any shot at picking, he can’t participate. https://t.co/PXlyMrHIdK

[Rep. Jay Hooper @Hooper4House]

@C_Hurl802 Indeed Chris, the decision is the Gov’s to make. I just earnestly suggest to the members of the Orleans County Committee, that they make clear the hopeful reality of your assumption—that Sam will have no say—by declaring such, ahead of that 3 day warning. @Dame4VT @AnyaTynio

@Dame4VT Paul, I hope you’ve been keeping well this autumn. Please swiftly remove the thirteenth name from this list, if you have not done so already.

[Rep. Jay Hooper @Hooper4House]

If Sam somehow neglects his immediate obligation to resign, the General Assembly must take the proportional steps to address this absurd behavior accordingly—by promptly dismissing him. He shall not continue to hold a seat in the Vermont State Senate.

Government shutdowns are straight up unacceptable. Get it together Washington… this isn’t about policy disagreement.

Meagan Roy, the chair of the commission, and Nicole Mace, the representative of the Vermont School Boards Association, both announced they would be leaving the commission in June 19 emails to fellow commissioners viewed by VTDigger.

I thank former Rep. Dave Sharpe for a great interview on his television spot known as—Sharpe Takes—where the former Chair of House Ed and I navigate the underdeveloped ed-reform conversation we agree is fundamentally non-partisan. Watch…..

Vermonters were failed today by those allowing H.454 to pass. I work hard to help my local school board pass their budgets and we're all dismayed. What just happened was the intentional delay of action and avoidance of the urgency placed on Montpelier by voters.

Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system, and to overwhelm you. It can be difficult to keep up. And that’s by design.

But we can keep up – and respond. Here’s what he’s doing, and what it means for you. Just the facts. 🧵⤵️

[Speaker Jill Krowinski @SKrowinski]

I’m excited to announce the release of State of the House, a podcast hosted by me that takes you behind the scenes of the legislature with candid conversations with lawmakers and community members. Check out the first episode on public safety with Rep. LaLonde here or on Spotify!

This is a start. When I get back from vacation we will dig into all this on VT Viewpoint. @WDEVRadio
