VSEA & Supporting Organizations Hold Press Conference To Announce Union’s Revenue-Generating Plan
VSEA Legislative Committee Chair Dr. Leslie Matthews and Executive Director Steve Howard led a press conference at the State House to roll out VSEA’s alternatives to the Governor’s cuts-only strategy that is failing Vermont year after year. VSEA’s announced plan includes four concrete avenues to generate new revenue for Vermont, and as Matthews and Howard said, "the Governor has said often that he is open to any and all ideas to prevent more cuts to services and jobs, and today we are here to present some new ideas. Hopefully, the Governor and lawmakers will listen and work with VSEA and the supporting groups here today to change the debate in Montpelier and ask the Vermonters who have benefited most during Vermont’s economic downturn to do more."
