VT House Votes to Send Industry Lobbyist to Chamonix, France
Listen to the Vermont Climate Council meeting from this past Monday where the lead lobbyist for the electricity rate increase and power industry subsidy bill, H.289, ensures his ski pass is good for a quick trip to France this week. Wonder if he will be taking any of the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee members with him.

But backers argue it's not a tax increase because money from the surcharge will be used to lower property tax rates.
Scott wants ed costs to be cut instead. #VTpoli
