Vermont Business Magazine Governor Phil Scott on Wednesday took additional actions to address and correct the tax form errors announced by the Vermont Department of Labor on Monday.
Specifically, the governor has dispatched two senior-level tactical response teams to VDOL to expedite the response to the 1099-G tax form errors; asked State Auditor Doug Hoffer to conduct a performance audit to identify the root cause of the error and provide recommendations for long-term quality control improvements; and he has appointed a new deputy commissioner to help lead the department.
