It’s week three, and things are hitting their stride. This week’s update is primarily focused on the three buckets that were identified in the Governor’s State of the State address: housing, public safety, and affordability (state budgeting). Despite a wealth of content this week, we think we’ve maintained brevity without compromising clarity, just as we’ve done in our recent updates, but we’ll let you be the judge of that.

In this week’s Update:

• State Financial Outlook – Clearer Sky Yet Nowhere to Shelter from the Heat
• Housing Supply Side Efforts in the Senate
• Public Safety: Seeking Solutions Amidst Analysis Paralysis 
• Auditor in Another Two Tiffs over TIF 
• Open Enrollment Starts Feb. 15th for Vermont Family and Medical Leave Insurance
• The Laundry List
