And yet, the state of Vermont, short near 700 staff positions already is going to add another 100+ state jobs to be filled due to the unaffordable heat act and the child care/family leave bills. Odds are stacked heavily against any success of the heat act right out of the gate. The carbon tax will have to escalate to cover the credits required by the 2030 time line. (written into the bill). Can't make this stuff up.
