With the 2028 budget already underway, finance commissioner Adam Greshin warns lawmakers that rising costs and stagnant revenue make every dollar critical. Agencies can only justify budget increases for negotiated pay raises, forcing tough choices. Lawmakers worry job cuts may follow, blaming years of resisting tax hikes and using surpluses to shield education from property tax spikes. While Scott hints at new tax cuts, challenger Amanda Janoo pushes for taxing the wealthy and big businesses to fund essential services — setting up a pivotal showdown over how Vermont funds its future.
