Governor Phil Scott FY22 Budget Address Tuesday, January 26, 2021
Madam President, Madam Speaker, Madam Pro Tem, Mr. Chief Justice, members of the General Assembly and fellow Vermonters:

Vermont governor proposes 1-time projects in virus budget
By WILSON RINGJanuary 26, 2021 GMT
Vermont Gov. Phil Scott asked the Legislature on Tuesday to approve about $210 million in one-time spending for a variety of projects aimed at strengthening the economy and creating better paying jobs.
