Coronavirus Information
Dear Vermonter,
This is such an unfamiliar and difficult time for all of us. As we follow the guidance to stay home and stay safe, one thing that Marcelle and I miss most is direct contact with our kids and grandkids.
As Vice Chair of the Appropriations Committee I’m gratified to be able to make sure that Vermont has a front seat at the table as we’re writing and passing these relief measures. This already has meant billions for our state as we cope with these many challenges.
My staff continues to compose and compile resources that may be helpful to Vermonters during this crisis, and I hope you will explore the links below to find answers and information.
