AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Burlington Mayor’s Race: City Council President Ben Traverse is running for mayor, making public safety and police recruitment central themes while pledging to support downtown businesses and address homelessness. Statehouse Power Shift: Democrats regained supermajorities in both chambers, setting up potential veto showdowns with Gov. Phil Scott, who won a record sixth term. Voters also approved a constitutional amendment adding LGBTQ+ equal protections. Homelessness Policy: Lawmakers and advocates say early rules for Act 143, Vermont’s new homelessness law, have problems to resolve, including how emergency motel placements will work. Congressional Oversight: Rep. Becca Balint says she plans to focus on affordability and holding corporations and public officials accountable as Democrats take control of Congress.
