By Mark Davis and Peter Hirschfield, five-minute radio segment, text includes “With Vermont awash in federal stimulus and state surplus money, Gov. Phil Scott on Tuesday offered a ‘transformative’ budget that both pays down long-term debts and makes a litany of new investments to bolster the state’s workforce. … The $7.7 billion spending plan includes no tax increases, and in fact offers $50 million in tax cuts and rebates. It also proposes investments in seemingly every hot button Statehouse priority, from child care to housing, climate change and infrastructure.”
