## Resource

Vermont’s legislative session ended with a major pivot: Governor Scott backed off mandatory school district mergers in favor of voluntary consolidation, sparking political drama and setting the stage for next session’s big fight over education funding. Lawmakers from both parties agree a foundation formula is needed, but disagree on specifics. Meanwhile, heated debates over medical cost vetoes, land use, and housing near wetlands revealed deep partisan divides — all of which are now fueling the upcoming August primary, with both sides blaming each other for stalled progress.
