We see the presence of discrimination, bias and structural racism in the foundations of many of our institutions, organizations and programs. It is healthy and courageous to take a hard look at the ways in which "we have done business" that have limited the opportunity of our neighbors who have told us they experience marginalization on a recurring basis. |
Last Friday marked the final day of the 2021 Vermont Legislative Session. It's truly an honor to represent our village voices at the State House and it has been extremely rewarding to connect with so many community members about legislation this session. It has also been a pleasure serving alongside Representative Karen Dolan this session. Our priority this year focused on advancing policies that create an equitable COVID recovery plan to rebuild the economy across Vermont and help our families and communities thrive.
Our Joint End of Session Report provides an update on many of the key bills passed in 2021. You can read the report here.
Please be in touch with me if you have any questions or to discuss issues. Additionally, Rep. Dolan and I are inviting Village community members to join us for an End of Session Cookie Chat on Sunday, June 6th from 3-4:30pm. We will have hard copies of our report on hand and look forward to catching up and answering any questions. We are looking forward to the chance to see folks in person! See the full details here:
Although the session is over, please reach out any time. I will continue to send out updates during the off-session but less frequently.

We know we are not alone in our disappointment with the outcome of the merger vote. We also know we are not alone in our heartfelt gratitude for the work of our municipal leaders and community members who gave so much of their personal time to the effort of bringing our communities together. We appreciate the level of civil dialogue and engagement in the Village. |
