Meanwhile, the Governor vetoes S.190, a bill meant to slash health insurance costs via reference-based pricing — critics say it misses a chance to ease Vermonters’ financial burden. On the bright side, $3 million in federal grants fuel park and trail upgrades statewide, while Kristin McClure steps into the role of Human Resources Commissioner after Beth Fastiggi’s tenure. And with over $7 million from the Northern Border Regional Commission’s Catalyst Program, rural Vermont communities are poised for major economic revitalization.
