Each of the 50 states (or in Bi-State’s case, a pair of states) has one nonprofit Primary Care Association (PCA) to serve as the voice for Community Health Centers. These health centers were born out of the civil rights and social justice movements of the 1960’s with a clear mission that prevails today: to provide health care to communities with a scarcity of providers and services.

Kitty Toll, Chair, House Committee on Appropriations TO: All House Committee Chairs RE: FY 2021 First Phase/Transition Budget Bill as Proposed by the Administration The Administration presented its proposed FY2021 budget for the first quarter, July 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, to the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday. This proposal provides the State with a budget to start the fiscal year. The budget for the remaining three- quarters of the fiscal year will be addressed during the months of August and September when we will have more information on State revenues, Federal funds, and the effect that the COVID- 19 epidemic has had on Vermont. The General Assembly has been provided with informal weekly updates on revenues from the Joint Fiscal Office, the latest being Tuesday, May 19. The Official Consensus Revenue Forecast will be presented to the Emergency Board in mid-August for adoption. Until that time, there is no official forecast upon which to base the budget, making the process of developing the FY 2021 budget challenging. The latest informal revenue update can be found in the following links. FY 2020/21/22 Revenues detail can be found at: Revenue Forecast May 19, 2020.

    Honorable Governor Phil Scott Honorable LT Governor David Zuckerman Senate President Pro Tempore Senator Tim Ashe Speaker of the House Mitzi Johnson Senator Becca Balint Senator Michael Sirotkin Senator Virginia Lyons Senator Jeanette White Senator Jane Kitchel Senator Debbie Ingram Representative Jill Krowinski Representative Catherine Toll Representative Ann Pugh Representative Janet Ancel Representative Sarah Copelend-Hanzas Representative Bill Lippert Representative Kevin Christie Representative Brian Cina 18 May 2020 Re: State Response to COVID-19 Impact on People of Color Mr. Governor et. al, Your efforts in bridging the gap in what is arguably the worst Vermont crises in state history are appreciated. We fear that there are some of us that are being left behind. Pre-COVID-19, African Americans had an unemployment rate twice that of whites. Further, the median wealth of whites was 13 times that of African Americans. Many people of color were pre-unemployed with no benefits, underemployed, struggling to start businesses, previously incarcerated or under the control of the Department of Corrections, unbanked or had no sufficient tax filing history. Recently the Center for Responsible ​ Lending estimated that “upwards of 90% of businesses owned by people of color have been, or will likely be, shut out of the Paycheck Protection Program." COVID-19 is exacerbating ALL of the known racial disparities (housing, education, employment, health services access and the justice system) outlined in the Attorney ​ General and Human Rights Commission ACT 54 Racial Disparities in State Systems Report ​ and Recommendations, in December 2017. Time doesn’t permit me to share the specifics or discuss the pain and fear of many people of color in Vermont.

From the procession of four former governors and numerous dignitaries who were escorted by members of the armed services in Vermont to the singing of “America the Beautiful” by Colchester Police Chief Jennifer Morrison, it was an opportunity for the overflow crowd of Vermonters crammed in the House Chamber to witness their state’s peaceful transfer of power. After Governor Philip Scott took the oath of office, he used his inauguration speech to focus on themes that he had emphasized throughout his campaign for office. He assured Vermonters that he heard their concerns about “struggles to make ends meet as costs and taxes rise and good paying jobs are fewer and fewer.” He committed his administration to strengthening the economy, making living and doing business in Vermont more affordable, and protecting the most vulnerable. He announced that he would sign an executive order that very day directing every state agency to focus on those issues. His purpose in so doing,

  • POWER ALLEY House Appropriations H.611
    POWER ALLEY - HOW THEY VOTED HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE THE BILL - H.611 An act relating to fiscal 2016 budget adjustments: For fiscal 2015, the state budget consisted of $2.27 billion of state dollars, exclusive of federal dollars. State dollars are those that come out of the pockets of Vermonters and our visitors and include general, transportation, special, health care, tobacco and fish and wildlife funds. For the 2016 budget “as passed” (Act 58) by the legislature last session, such spending was increased to $2.36 billion, or 3.8 percent. The entire Committee voted for Act 58 except Representatives Helm and Fagan, who were absent. Now H.611 is before the legislature to make mid-year budget adjustments. In substantial agreement with the Governor’s recommendations, the House proposes to spend $28.4 million more in state dollars in 2016 for a total increase over fiscal 2015 of $114.7 million or 5.05 percent. As one can see, this proposal to increase 2016 spending has bi-partisan support among Committee members. On the House floor, Rep. Copeland-Hanzas, the House Majority Leader, voted in favor of the H.611 while Rep. Turner, the House Minority leader voted against the bill. http://legislature.vermont.gov/bill/roll-call/2016/133 http://www.campaignforvermont.org/fy_2016_baa_report (scroll to bottom for totals) Representative How They Voted Rep.
