The Committee understands the tremendous pressure you and your staff are under and the extraordinary steps you are taking to see that children who are in the custody of DCF are safe and well- cared for during the COVID-19 outbreak. While our committee believes that the safest approach for everyone during the state of emergency is to replace in-person contact with remote or virtual visits as recommended by Vermont Department of Health Commissioner Levine on March 25, 2020, we understand there may be some instances, taken on a case-by-case basis, where in-person contact may critical to staying on the path to family reunification and can be effectuated in a safe manner. To this end, we ask that DCF use the Vermont Department of Health’s most recent guidance regarding COVID-19 best practices to develop specific written guidance for DCF staff, foster parents, natural parents, and others who may participate in or facilitate in-person parent-child contact during the declared state of emergency.

  • Legislative Update January 15, 2019
    Supporting Vermonters to lead healthy and satisfying lives community by community Legislative Update January 15, 2019 New Biennium of Legislature – Structures are Set The new biennium of the legislature is off to a smooth start. House Speaker Mitzi Johnson and Senate President Pro Tempore Tim Ashe, as well as Governor Scott, all have two years of experience to build upon. Both Chambers now hold veto-proof majorities so there is more pressure on the Governor Scott to develop a collaborative relationship with the legislature. This was reflected in the Governor’s upbeat inaugural speech on January 10th. The speech mentioned mental health but made no commitments about it. Both the Speaker of the House and the Senate President Pro Tempore responded positively to the speech. In comments to the media and in discussions with Vermont Care Partners both House Speaker Johnson and Senate President Pro Tempore Ashe have clearly made commitments to address the under- resourced community mental health system, by which they mean the developmental and mental health services provided by designated and specialized service agencies. Senator Ashe spent the autumn touring designated and specialized service agencies where he made a point to hear directly from staff providing direct services. At each stop, other senators from the region participated in the forums. As a result of forums and dialog with Vermont Care Partners Senator Ashe is strongly committed to improve funding for our services and is supporting Vermont Care Partners to communicate about our funding needs to both House and Senate leaders.

On 2 The Legislature Convenes Thursday, Governor Phil Scott delivered his inaugural address – to the 3 H.48 and Town Meeting 2021 legislature in the afternoon and to Vermonters in the evening. 5 Funds Reallocated to Town Meeting Ballot Mailing For the first time in Vermont history, the roles of speaker of the House, 5 House and Senate Standing president pro tempore of the Senate, lieutenant governor, clerk of the House, Committees and House minority leader have all been assumed by women. The governor 9 New Bills recognized that achievement during the opening of his inaugural address to the legislature: “I had the honor of being the first Governor in state history to 10 Advocacy Bi-Weekly Chat begin with these words: ‘Madam President, Madam Speaker, Madam 11 VLCT’s 2021-2022 President Pro Tem.’ Congratulations to Lt. Governor Molly Gray, Speaker Jill Municipal Priorities Krowinski and Senator Becca Balint on this historic milestone.” Representative Jill Krowinski of Burlington was elected speaker of the House. She previously served two terms in the House and last session, was House majority leader, working closely with former Speaker Mitzi Johnson. She thus comes to the office with more experience managing the work of the House than many previous speakers. In her remarks to a remote audience on Wednesday, Krowinski called the new session the Coronavirus Recovery Session, asserting that legislators must chart a course forward and leave no one behind.

  • Emails Received Opposing S.55
    Members of the Senate Committee on Judiciary Members of the House Committee on Judiciary WRITTEN TESTIMONY ON BILLS RELATED TO GUN CONTROL From: George A. Thomson, MSG USA (RET) Re: S.55, S.6, S.221, and H.422, Date: 22 MARCH 2018 I am writing again to express my opinion on several bills S.6, S.221, H.422, and now S-55 which have been discussed over the past several weeks/months in both chambers. Some of you may have already received a memo similar to this one, but they may have gone to junk or spam folders. Vermont is annually one of the safest states in the country and no additional gun control measures are required. There are ample laws on the subject now at both the state and federal level. What is required is people control. The inclusion of individuals identified with severe mental illness, which may be a danger to others or themselves into NICS the same as those with felony convictions or on a watch list, until cleared by proper medical/psychological authority. There is also a point I would like to make before starting discussion on the various bills. The primary point of contention in “gun control” is usually the AR-15 (.223 cal. – 5.56mm) rifle, which is in no way an assault weapon as it is mislabeled by the media and those who don’t know better because of the media and loud mouth liberal minded people who will say anything to convince folks they are knowledgeable and have “the fix to gun violence”.

  • Emails Received Opposed to S.55
    From: Junia Dragon Date: Thu, Mar 15, 2018 at 8:54 AM Subject: Firearms bill To: Bill Botzow I have only just learned of a bill being presented (apparently today) suggested by a rep.from South Burlington. This will be an assault weapons ban, and increase gun control in other ways as well? I hope that you will vote against any such Bill that seeks to impinge on 2nd amendment rights in a state that has the least gun control and also the LEAST gun violence out of all 50 states. Vermont does not need help in this department. I moved here from an extremely dangerous environment (Washington DC during the murder capitol.of the world era). Law abiding citizens could not own guns. Gun control did not prevent shootings, it increased them. Good people Were left powerless to defend their families and homes, sitting ducks until the police arrived. In a rural area like this, I don't want to have to wait for police or a Sheriff to arrive were my family in distress. Criminals will always get guns no matter what the law. The guns already exist, and America is a country with gun culture (in particular Vermont). Banning weapon will do nothing to prevent school shootings. I believe we should instead be talking about arming volunteer teachers who have passed stringent training requirement, volunteer vets willing to stand at the doors of our schools, metal detectors and ID entry. Did you know that at MAUHS (where my daughter attends) their security is opening the doors at a certain time then LOCKING the kids in the school a few minutes later? Anyone could sneak in with a weapon during the morning rush on the front doors.
