Get StartedPublic safety is a critical function of government and must be funded while addressing underlying social factors: addiction, mental illness, homelessness, financial insecurity and lack of service providers. Vermont also needs to reform its laws and judicial and correction system to ensure that those who struggle are connected to supports and services to minimize risk to the public. Learn more
Scott does not support the Clean Heat Standard, ESSEX plan, Global Warming Solutions Act, Transportation Climate Initiative, or any other regressive carbon tax policy that will hurt middle income and low-income Vermonters. Vermont needs to continue to make progress on efficiency, sharing, and alternative energy. Vermont is the Greenest State in the nation WITHOUT a Carbon Tax. Instead, Vermont should continue to incentivize the adoption of alternative energies and efficiencies as technology and public and family budgets allow. Learn more
I support efforts by One Care Vermont to shift health care to a model where healthcare professionals are paid to keep people healthy and not for how many procedures and/or tests they order. One Care Vermont, increased market competition including the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, negotiated pharmaceutical pricing, and well-crafted regulation are Vermont's best chance to control unsustainable health care increases.

Vermont is spending too much money and collecting too much in taxes from Vermonters. Fiscal restraint and a critical review of all spending programs is more important than ever. Recent conversations about a wealth tax or high-earner tax to support additional programs present an unacceptable risk to Vermont's economy. Learn more
Vermont's education property tax is overly complicated and particularly onerous for Vermont families and businesses; it is fixable with three simple changes. Vermont needs to redefine Education Spending as all local spending supported by homestead taxpayers and provide districts with a weighted payment, with local tax rates assigned using a statewide grand list. This will more closely connect districts and voters to their spending decision, and organically cause thoughtful reform at the local level. The Common Level of Appraisal should be reformed and instead compare a town to the statewide CLA, not itself. Finally, Vermont should reform the Property Tax Credit (income sensitivity) to mirror the rest of New England and nearly every other state. If we took these three steps, Vermont's education funding system would work correctly, and Vermonters could understand it. Learn more
