STATEMENT FROM HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER REP LORI HOUGHTON ON GOVERNOR SCOTT’S VETO OF THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT ACT (BAA)

Montpelier, VT - Governor Scott called for bipartisan collaboration, and House and Senate Democrats delivered. Unfortunately, the governor’s definition of compromise is doing exactly what he says.”


The stakes are way too high. Vetoing the BAA is only compounding the White House’s reckless gutting of vital federal services Vermonters rely on every day.


Governor Scott’s veto halts:


  • Shelter for 1,600 Vermonters indefinitely.

  • $1.8M towards relief for flood-impacted communities.

  • $10.4M towards affordable housing investments.

  • $31M towards Emergency fiscal relief for healthcare providers.

  • $11M towards essential institutions, like the Vermont Veterans’ Home.


We urge Vermonters to call the Governor with your concerns today at 802-828-3333.
