AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoDOJ Tuition Lawsuit: The U.S. Department of Justice sued New York, Connecticut and Vermont over state in-state tuition rules for immigrants without permanent legal status, arguing colleges can’t offer benefits to “illegal aliens” that they don’t offer to citizens. Vermont Hunting Rules: Vermont Fish and Wildlife reminded hunters that waterfowl blinds can’t be placed before the first Saturday in September, must be labeled, and must be removed by May 15 (Lake Champlain by Feb. 15). Vermont Primary Aftermath: Democrats chose economist Amanda Janoo for governor and Molly Gray for lieutenant governor, setting up November matchups against Gov. Phil Scott and Lt. Gov. John Rodgers. Campaign Contrast: A Burlington rally framed Janoo as a “plain talk” alternative focused on inequality, universal primary care, and higher taxes on high earners. Climate & Health Policy: California moved to ban paraquat, a pesticide Vermont already has restricted, adding momentum to public health pressure on toxic chemicals. Local Politics Watch: Vermont’s primary map showed Janoo winning much of northern and rural Vermont while Gray carried most towns statewide, with Ryan McLaren winning only a handful. Statewide Governance: Vermont Democrats rallied behind Janoo as Republicans saw opportunity in the ideological contrast heading into November.
