Are We Better Off Under Vermont's Legislative Majority?

Crippling Tax Burden

Vermont lawmakers, in a stark contrast to the needs of working families, have rejected sensible reforms that could have lightened the property tax burden. Instead, the Progressive Majority has thrown its weight behind policies that would only serve to inflate taxes and bloat the state budget. In doing so, they have prioritized a larger government over providing relief to Vermonters who are already struggling to make ends meet.

Soaring Energy Costs

Progressive legislators refused to pass any energy mandate repeal that would benefit Vermonters; instead, they sponsored more mandate legislation that would require 100% renewable energy by 2035, forcing utilities to shift entirely to renewables, no matter the cost. This top-down climate policy will drive up energy bills, strain the grid, and saddle taxpayers and small businesses with the fallout.

Fewer Choices, Rising Costs

Despite a surge in spending, Vermont families are still grappling with escalating housing costs, a slew of regulations, and a dearth of affordable options. The progressive leaders have thwarted the complete repeal of ACT 250 and other reforms that could have slashed bureaucratic hurdles and paved the way for new developments, leaving renters, homeowners, and young families in a lurch.

The Bottom Line

Under Vermont’s Progressive Majority:

●      Tax increases aren't sustainable 

●      Housing is unaffordable

●      Energy costs are crushing families

So, let's ask ourselves: are we truly better off under the Progressive Majority's rule?
It’s high time we held the Progressive Majority accountable. Vermonters deserve leadership that puts families first, not failed policies and rising costs. The upcoming elections provide us with a crucial opportunity to bring about the change we so desperately need.
