AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoBarre Recovery: Gov. Phil Scott awarded $4.2 million to build 17 affordable townhomes outside Barre’s floodplain, replacing flood-damaged housing and moving Wobby Park.

A pro-Scott super PAC has spent more than $460,000 on ads as Amanda Janoo’s campaign outraised Scott’s in early October. Health Care: Vermont free clinics expect more patients as Medicaid work rules and renewal changes put tens of thousands at risk of losing coverage. Jobs and Housing: Vermont colleges and employers are looking for ways to keep young graduates in the state, while employers elsewhere are turning to housing help to recruit and retain workers. Local Power: A new poll found 64% of Vermonters support banning large data centers, though none are operating in New England; advocates say local control is shaping the debate. Law Enforcement: A Central Vermont group has asked Scott to bar police from using electric-shock gloves, citing safety and accountability concerns.
