The Governor has signaled in a letter from his Secretary of Administration to the Legislature that he isn’t “comfortable” supporting the State budget if he doesn’t get what he wants.
Call Governor Scott at (802) 828-3333, or e-mail him using this link! Tell him you want him to support both the pension bill and the State budget. A deal is a deal.
- Governor Scott signed the bill that created the Pension Taskforce— which included an appointed representative of his Administration who supported the compromise.
- The unanimous vote in support of the compromise was bipartisan. Members of the Governor’s political party served on the Taskforce and supported the compromise.

- Now, at the very last minute, Governor Scott is threatening the entire deal by demanding that the agreement be reopened, so he can make major changes to the hard-earned, unanimously backed compromise.
Governor Scott is demanding a poison pill be added that will threaten the health and stability of your pension.
