Vermont's governor proposes a $9.4 billion 2027 budget with a 3% hike, cuts property tax increases, and ends the Hotel-Motel program by 2028.
Vermont Governor Phil Scott proposed a $9.4 billion budget for 2027, a 3% increase, citing declining tax revenues and inflation.
The plan includes $105 million to reduce the projected 12% property tax hike to about 5.5%, partly using a reserve fund and redirecting $10 million from car sales taxes to transportation.
No new taxes are proposed, and Scott seeks to end the Hotel-Motel program by 2028, replacing it with shelters for vulnerable populations.
He also called for education funding reforms, housing deregulation, and expanded accountability courts.
Democrats questioned funding details and warned of future transportation shortfalls.
The budget’s success depends on education reform and redistricting.
