Gov. Phil Scott said Vice President Kamala Harris had a strong performance in Tuesday's debate, but he'd like to learn more about some of her policy positions.

Republican Gov. Phil Scott says legislation he vetoed earlier this year could nonetheless provide a key pathway toward the construction of needed affordable housing in Vermont.

Legislation approved by Democratic lawmakers earlier this year, and later signed into law by Republican Gov. Phil Scott, establishes a new Office of Workforce Strategy and Development that will have at least two full-time employees.

More than 24,000 Vermonters remained without power Saturday morning due to post-tropical cyclone Debby.

The cash will be split evenly between an effort to purchase and site new mobile homes for low-income Vermonters and a grant program for businesses, farms and non-profits who pledge to reopen their doors and bring back employees.

After catastrophic flooding hit communities in the Northeast Kingdom yesterday, more rain is in the forecast today, and the National Weather Service has issued a flood watch, in effect until midnight, for all Vermont counties save for Bennington and Windham.

The state is still awaiting word from FEMA about whether Vermont will be granted a major disaster declaration. Gov. Phil Scott said this money will act as a bridge to address repairs in the short term.

The governor joined Vermont Edition to address recent flooding, national politics and working across party lines.

"I've seen the decline in President Biden, in his health... It's obviously his decision to make, but I think he should step aside. I don't think he's competent to serve another four years," the Vermont Republican governor said.

Age and drivability requirements will be waived for flood-damaged vehicles, and enhanced incentives are available for flood victims.
