by Timothy McQuiston, Vermont Business Magazine For those betting against a veto session this year, you will need to find your Venmo password. Governor Phil Scott yesterday vetoed two bills that would allow non-citizen voting in Montpelier and Winooski. Up to this point Scott had only vetoed one bill. That bill was related to raising the age of who legally would be considered a juvenile. That bill probably needed more work to tighten up the language and process and probably would not have triggered a veto session. But the vetoes of the voting rights bills have guaranteed that lawmakers will return to Montpelier at the end of this month.

Work will begin Monday on reconstruction of the intersection of Industrial Avenue and Route 2 near the Williston and South Burlington town line.
The project will continue through at least two construction seasons, according to Vermont Agency of Transportation Project Manager Bruce Martin, finishing no earlier than the fall of 2022 and costing roughly $7.5 million.
A detour will be required for a couple weeks this summer only at night Martin said, diverting Industrial Avenue traffic onto North Brownell Road to connect with Route 2 slightly east of the intersection. Two-way traffic will be maintained on Route 2 for the majority of the construction, but will occasionally be reduced to an alternating one-lane flow at night.
