Vermont Governor Hoff asserts the Democratic administration can guarantee at least the same revenue for communities from current sources over two years as a sales tax would provide. He targets GOP rival Snelling’s claim of $15 million annually, citing a $4.5 million general fund surplus and a booming economy. Hoff endorses income tax reforms and regionalization to improve education while warning states may soon exhaust new tax avenues, potentially shifting focus to sales taxes. He also advocates preserving Vermont open spaces and notes education consolidation as necessary.
