Focused on Jobs, Health Care & Education
Susan Votes for 800 New Jobs
The Vermont Emergency Board voted to increase the cap on the Vermont Employment Growth Incentive (VEGI) program.
"These are performance based incentives ... until the company has created the jobs, the jobs have been filled and folks have been working for a specific time period, the incentive is not paid."
Global Budgeting for Hospitals
About 40 percent of Vermont insurance money goes to hospitals. Susan would have insurance companies pay that money instead to the state government, which would pay hospitals directly.
"The measure is a sort of quasi-single-payer health-care system, where the state acts as a conduit between insurance companies and hospitals."
Saving Money to Improve Education
"Our test scores are not good enough." In this video she discusses re-evaluating mainstreaming and the number of school districts while advocating for work stations and "Differentiated Instruction."
Susan Responds to Governor's Budget
"I don't believe new taxes are on the table," Susan said. "We now begin our job of taking testimony, figuring out what the cumulative impacts are on citizens and understanding what this budget does."
ANR Should Look at Yankee Groundwater
Susan suggested the Agency of Natural Resources now explore its options to immediately shutdown the Vernon reactor under state groundwater pollution laws.
"Suddenly when you have leaking contaminating groundwater you've got a completely different subject coming up."
My campaign is about policy, community, and vision. I will focus on restoring Vermont for all Vermonters, a Vermont that reflects the values of hard work, caring for our families, neighbors, and communities.
For the past 7 years Vermont has bounced from slogan to slogan, ribbon cutting to ribbon cutting, without a vision or a plan. This cannot continue.
Over the next few years it will be important to help business create jobs in Vermont. We need to lower the cost of health care and insurance, improve education and support social services while exercising fiscal restraint. It is a tough job. I am running for Governor because my experience, relationships and deep understanding of the problems we face in Vermont are what we need to face the challenges ahead. If you do your part to help me win the coming elections, I'll do my part to lead Vermont to a bright future based on the values we share.
