Vermont Attorney General M. Jerome Diamond launched a seven city tour promising ongoing consumer protection and responsiveness. He cited 90 PSB cases against 18 under his predecessor, defended environmental actions on Lake Champlain pollution, and advocated extending the right to know by broadening municipal document access. Snelling, campaigning for governor, urged streamlined government drawing on private sector success and noted a forthcoming Vermont Council for Effective Government interim report.
Snelling advocates a comprehensive, priority driven review of Vermont government funded without state money. He would have department heads rate programs, drop low value ones, and use an artificial restraint to define what is enough.

He aims to balance strong economy with environmental health and promote southern Vermont growth.
