The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

This is a complete lie. Data centers don't bring many permanent jobs. They suck up electricity and water, and create noise and environmental issues.

New York is the first state to ban Data center construction. If New York doesn't want them why would Vermont? They create few permanent jobs, they drive up utility costs, and they destroy local resources.

Vermonters have been dealing with outrageous energy prices for years. We need a governor and legislature willing to do something about it.

Ridiculous. $3.8m of home solar each year would end this. "In Vt, the plants are turned on for an average of 10 hours a year. And yet,... the plants are... funded by...$3.8m in ratepayer money this year, totalling to anywhere from 10-20% of residents’ utility bills, to keep the plants on standby."

One of the best things we can do for schools and tax payers is to cut the cost of Healthcare. It's a drag on our economy and harms every aspect of affordability.

And the cost of them is far lower than the savings they create.

$1b in tax breaks for fewer than 2 dozen jobs. That $1b could have employed 10,000 teachers.

Had a wonderful day with Cub Scout Pack 539 at the Vergennes Vermont Memorial Day Parade! Then we planted some flags at the Graves who still needed them. As a park ranger at a War of 1812 site, I was happy we had flags for the local vets of that war!

It is only three days since the foreign minister, the comte de Vergennes, secured the King’s agreement to provide a million livres’ worth of secret funding to the American rebels; now someone has arrived who can tell him exactly how Congress would like it spent.

Happy to be in Vergennes, and many don't know who our small city is named for. It's really fun to be one of the few cities named after the French Foreign Minister who saved the Revolution!

Vergennes, the foreign minister, has particularly become Turgot’s rival recently, because of Turgot’s opposition to French intervention in Britain’s American rebellion: “The first gunshot would drive the state to bankruptcy,” the controller-general of finance has declared.

Hello Friends! We had a good fundraising weekend for my birthday, but can you help make it a long birthday weekend? I'd appreciate a $20 contribution toward lower utility bills, better pay for school employees, & more affordable housing in Vermont. I'm done with "business as usual" in Montpelier!

Every state, every municipality needs to elect competent leaders who understand economics. Don't let a politician tell you not to worry or to keep cutting taxes. Even the CEO of McDonald's is telling us it's time for economic leadership.

EVERY road, EVERY driveway in Vermont is about to become a toll road. This imposes a tax which hits lower income Vermonters more. You know who won't have to pay? Anyone who has a home here but has plates through another state. Yeah, the wealthly.

S Burlington Dep Chief Sean Briscoe should be commended for efforts to de-escalate the tense situation caused by ICE. I hope all Vt LE get this kind of training regularly. Protestors felt excess force was used, but it appears that SB Police tried to keep the situation from boiling over more.

This makes every road in Vermont a toll road. I think toll roads have their place, and I advocate for tolls on semi traffic on 22A. But making every mile a tolled mile is a regressive tax. I do not support passing taxes on those least able to afford it.

We are very far from the government which the founders intended us to have. We need to elect representatives who are committed to "No more business as usual" to even start getting us back on track. State & federal elected officials need to have a goal of democracy rejuvenation for the next decade.

This is just one example of states needing to solve problems before the impact families. It may seem small, but when the federal government abandons responsibilities like consumer protection then states must be proactive not reactive.
