Vermont Senate Session on Budget Adjustments and Legislative Bills

Published | Video Starts at 20:40

Council believes that executive order is on very shaky ground. So if we want to protect the class that the governor wants to protect and everyone else, it needs to be the legislature that does that. That is our constitutional function. (20:40–20:45)
