Burlington is on the brink. The current situation has been years in the making at the hands of the city’s mayor and its city council. Citizens and businesses are pleading for help — when will Burlington’s leaders answer their cries and address this public safety crisis?

Join Sen. Heffernan, Fmr Gov. Jim Douglas, and I for an ice cream social/meet and greet on Thursday, August 14th, from 6:30 - 8:30 pm in the Ferrisburgh Town Hall! I’m excited to meet with my constituents to discuss my work in the legislature and how you can get involved! #vtpoli
Vermont spends the second most per pupil in the country when it comes to education. In 2015, Vermont was roughly 10 percentage points over the national average on key metrics. In 2022, we were at or close to the national average and fell below other New England states.
In January I outlined my vision for this session which included an education transformation plan so our kids get a better education at a rate taxpayers can afford. I still believe there's a path forward for education transformation that most agree is needed.
We are hopeful that tonight will be the last night of the legislative session. However, conference committees on both education and housing have not met consensus and we are expecting a late night. We must be willing to stay until the work is done, and must be done right!
We are clearly at a crossroads: we can make bold change and give our schools and taxpayers a better path, or we can yet again kick can, forcing these same budget cuts and rising taxes year after year.
Today, the Senate passed H.454, the education reform bill. While this is an important procedural step, I still cannot accept either the House or Senate versions. I do however remain optimistic about finding a path forward.
For the last eight years, I’ve been sounding the alarm about our housing crisis. As the legislative session comes to a close, I’m concerned we have not done nearly enough on housing. With 41,000 more homes needed by 2030, we cannot afford to kick the can down the road again.
This week is National Police Week, where we honor the service and sacrifice of the brave men and women in law enforcement who protect and serve our communities each day with courage, integrity, and dedication.
It's good to see the House passed important tax credits I proposed to the Legislature in January including substantial progress on tax exemptions for military retirees - something that is long overdue. I'm looking forward to the Senate taking up the bill in the coming days.
