Health care
Implement Vermont’s law to reduce costs, increase access. and improve outcomes.
Labor & employment
It’s time to require profitable businesses to pay a living wage so their workers don’t need state assistance.
Taxes & revenue
Use Progressive taxation instead of homestead taxes to pay for education. Increase taxes on high incomes and buildings that could be used for housing but are left vacant for most of the year.
Housing & community development
Help people gain and maintain stable long term housing by supporting home ownership in coop housing or modest homes with no interest mortgages. Provide short term emergency housing in congregate settings, as we would in a natural disaster.
