MONTPELIER â Three days after the Democrat-controlled Vermont House of Representatives passed a $10,000 tax exemption for military pensions, but turned down a larger benefit, Democratic Lieutenant Governor Molly Gray has sided with Republican Gov. Phil Scott in an opinion column calling for a full exemption for former service members.
But as the bill containing the $10,000 exemption and a number of tax proposals heads back to the Senate, its odds of emerging with the Houseâs additions intact appear to be slight â at least, this session. Senate leaders say thereâs not enough time left to study the Houseâs proposed additions.

MONTPELIER â It took a month and a half, but a bill containing $10.5 million in COVID-19 relief to businesses that had not previously qualified for aid, and a great deal more federally-funded relief spending, has finally passed the Vermont Legislature.
Tuesday, the House made additions to the version the Senate had amended and passed last month. The two chambers agreed that would suffice as the final version of the bill, and the Senate concurred unanimously Thursday.
When it passed the House the first time on Feb. 26, the bill, H. 315, carried $70 million in spending. By the time the Senate was finished with it on March 24, it had grown to more than $100 million.
