Diana Gonzalez Dear Committees on Appropriations and Ways & Means, Rep. Sandy Haas Rep. Mary Hooper We urge you to regain lost ground for the low-income Weatherization Rep. Willem Jewett Assistance Programs (WAPs). As you know, it is estimated we have Rep. Martin LaLonde 125,000 Vermonters living in "fuel poverty." The average household that gets weatherized saves $400 — $600 a year, every year. For every $1 Rep. Diane Lanpher invested in this program $2.51 is returned to the household and Sen. Mark MacDonald community. Rep. Linda Martin Rep. Jim Masland Since ARRA and GMP merger money have dried up, funding for the Rep. Curt McCormack program has been a scramble. In FY16 the total funding dropped from $12 million to $9 million. With lower fuel prices and reduced Sen. Dick McCormack consumption thanks to a mild winter, a straight re-authorization of the Rep. Jim McCullough gross receipts tax wouldn't even keep pace with the governor's Rep. Kiah Morris recommended appropriation. Rep. Betty Nuovo Rep. Jean O'Sullivan As you are likely aware, last year's drop in funding resulted in a loss of Rep. Avram Patt 65 highly skilled, good-paying jobs and greatly reduced capacity. Furthermore, we are failing to use the investments Vermont has made in Rep.

  • Forum: a Child of an Era of Fear
    Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2018 11:20 AM To: Maxine Grad Subject: Bob Williamson shares Hailey Napier's powerful letter from the VALLEY NEWS Dear Chair Maxine Grad, Below is Hailey Napier’s letter from the VALLEY NEWS. Hailey eloquently expresses how today’s youngsters feel when mass shootings occur and lawmakers do little to address the lethal problem. Best, Bob Williamson…And here’s the letter: http://www.vnews.com/ Forum: A Child of an Era of Fear When I was 12 years old, I began scanning for exits at every movie theater I went to and carefully thought through escape scenarios as the previews played. I assessed the space between the seats and the floor. Would I be able to crawl between the armrest and the wall unseen? That was the year of the Aurora shooting. If you don’t remember the details, 12 people were murdered in a Century 16 theater in Aurora, Colo.. They were watching The Dark Knight Rises. I had begged to see the movie myself, and as I read the headlines online, I realized that innocent people had died, and that I could easily have been one of them. I am a child of an era of fear. Born almost exactly a year after Columbine, I grew up with the pitch black, unspoken terror of lockdown drills. Hiding in corners and closets and behind desks, as if turning the lights off will convince a killer that school’s been canceled on a Tuesday in May; as if a bookshelf will protect me from the rain of bullets driven by some arbitrary vendetta against society.

    115 STATE STREET PHONE: (802) 828-2228 MONTPELIER, VT 05633-5201 FAX: (802) 828-2424 STATE OF VERMONT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 12, 2017 House Committee on Education Vermont State House, Room 32 115 State Street Montpelier, VT 05633-5301 Via email to: Marjorie Zunder, [email protected] RE: suggested additions to S.122 Dear Chairman Sharpe and Committee Members: Thank you for continuing to take testimony and consider revisions to S.122. While the House Education Committee has decided to set aside H.15, we believe that specific components of that bill will enhance compliance with Act 46 for many communities around the state, including some of the towns that we represent. There are three specific components embedded in H.15 that we request the House Education Committee include in your revisions to S.122: • Sec. 8(c) of H.15 which states: "The State Board may adopt rules designed to implement this act [Act 461 but shall not by rule or otherwise impose additional requirements to those envisioned by this act." This section addresses the rulemaking that the State Board of Education began to pursue in 2016 that would have raised the bar on the requirements for approval of an Alternative Structure. • Sec. 1(c)(6) of H.15 which states: "The combined average daily membership, as defined in 16 V.S.A. § 4001(1), of all member districts is not less than 500." This section would allow groups of small districts that otherwise would not be able to meet the numerical requirements of Act 46 to combine using an Alternative Structure.

  • Annual Review of Legislative Action on Wildlife
    Vermont Wildlife Coalition P.O. Box 987 Shelburne, VT 05482 [email protected] Dear Vermonter, The Vermont Wildlife Coalition is pleased to present the second edition of the Annual Review of Legislative Action on Wildlife. This edition covers the 2019-20 legislative session. It will: 1) update you on current wildlife issues in the form of actual and proposed bills before the legislature, 2) show, when information is available, where legislators, the governor, the Department of Fish & Wildlife and the Fish and Wildlife Board stand on those issues. It will be up to you to decide whether these parties are representing your interests, 3) clarify who is making decisions about Vermont’s wildlife. Why should you care? One compelling reason is that wildlife is an essential member of the ecological community that sustains all life, including humans. Another reason is that by law, wildlife is held in trust by the state for Vermonters, present and future. We can separate out the ways that different groups enjoy wildlife, but no group owns wildlife or can claim rights above those of other Vermont citizens with respect to wildlife. Finally, wildlife in 2019 faces impacts from many directions. Those include cultural shifts in attitudes towards animals, declining interest in hunting/trapping, global warming, habitat loss to development, increased human-animal interactions, pollution, declining department revenue from traditional sources, and dramatic changes in conservation science. If you care about wildlife, and understand that wildlife is under threat, you will need to stay informed and take action. As you look through this issue, you’ll notice that the legislature seemed to have taken little real action regarding wildlife in the past session.

We seek to make environmental protection a top priority for elected officials, candidates, and voters. HOW THE VOTES WERE SELECTED his scorecard is based on the legislative priorities of the environmental and T conservation organizations that form the Vermont Environmental Collaborative as well as other environmental issues. Determining factors in the decision to list particular votes include whether the vote was substantive or procedural in nature, and which vote had the greatest effect on the outcome of the legislation. Please note the limitations of this report. Only roll call votes have been included, as voice votes are not recorded by name. A simple numeric score beside a legislator’s name cannot convey the depth of discussions about the issues, nor can it clearly indicate which legislators worked to protect the environment and which legislators worked to undermine environmental protections. This is particularly true when it comes to work done in the committee room. HOW THE VOTES WERE SCORED he scores were calculated by dividing the number of pro-environmental votes made T by the number of votes the legislator had the opportunity to cast. Absences were counted as a negative vote. Votes during which the Speaker of the House or the President Pro Tem of the Senate presided over their bodies were not counted either way. VLCV did not score legislators who served in 2007 but not 2008.

  • Sent a Letter to Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue
    April 23, 2020 The Honorable George Ervin “Sonny” Perdue III Secretary of Agriculture U.S. Department of Agriculture 1400 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20250 Dear Secretary Perdue: We are 128 state legislators from 34 states writing to you as state policymakers who are gravely concerned about COVID-19 and the impact on our local food and specialty crop producers. Significant revenue losses are projected for the multibillion-dollar local food industry in which producers sell directly into local and regional markets. In view of Congress’s decision to allocate some $9.5 billion to support local food production during and following this public health emergency, we write to urge the U.S. Department of Agriculture to focus its discretionary authority in the allocation of these resources to mitigate the financial harm to those producers working to ensure that our communities have local, fresh and wholesome food, as well as to prevent the structural damage to markets that would set back regional and community-based food system development for years to come. At a time of economic and social disruption—when the potential for innovation, enterprise and entrepreneurship are greatest—we encourage the department to support the continued development of emerging, sustainable models for food production, processing, and distribution, that also have become lifelines for food banks and school feeding programs across the country. We are concerned that Congress gave little guidance for how this CARES Act appropriation will be spent. And we are conscious of the fact that many of our local producers, Black farmers, and underserved minority farmers who do not currently participate in USDA programs could be overlooked in the distribution of funds.
