We think and plan a lot about the future of Vermont’s economy. Yesterday after touring an #organic dairy farm in Fairfield, Marcelle and I visited Liquid Measurements Systems, a growing aerospace firm in Georgia, #VT. @LMS_VT recently hired 3 engineers who relocated to #VT
.@LMS_VT competes on a global scale with its sensor products. These support cutting-edge aircraft like the #X59, Lockheed Martin’s partnership w/@NASA to build a supersonic aircraft. Thru 30 years this #SmallBusiness has supplied both commercial and military aerospace sectors.
The variation of these two enterprises is part of the beauty and strength of our state. #Vermont will have a vibrant future if we protect our agricultural heritage, and expand our manufacturing and tech sectors.

I was joined today by #VT Health Commissioner Mark Levine to announce a $9.5M CDC grant to VT Health Dept to strengthen our state’s response to opioid overdoses. This is why I fought for more funding for CDC to step up response to this public health crisis. @healthvermont
This $9.5M CDC grant leahy.senate.gov/press/leahy-an… will provide clients with provide stronger case management and risk reduction to help them better navigate treatment for opioid use, and to support their connection to mental health and recovery services. @healthvermont
Bennington, Rutland, Windham and Windsor Counties will receive community action grants to prevent opioid overdoses in areas with high fatality rates. This is one of many strategies supported with the $9.5M CDC grant to the #VT Health Dept that I announced today. @healthvermont

Great to visit Stony Pond Farm in Enosburg Falls w/ @organicvalley. Tyler and Melanie Webb are leaders in the organic movement and proving that farmers can address the ecological challenges we face while also making a viable living.
30 years ago, I wrote the nation’s 1st organic farming bill. The explosive growth of the sector has been a bright spot for agriculture. Now we must protect the industry so it can continue to support the viability of #VT’s hardworking producers like the Webbs.
Thank you Tyler and Melanie for hosting me on your organic farm. The creativity and energy you bring to farming is helping your business grow and helping Vermont’s agricultural sector adapt in challenging times.

In Springfield today to announce more than $7.9 million in grants from @NBRC_Team to boost job growth in #VT. These funds will help grow our workforce, repair our infrastructure & give Vermont workers new skills for the modern economy.
We chose Springfield for this announcement because of @BRICvt. Their coworking & incubation space, & goal of growing startups in VT, is the type of project I had in mind when I expanded NBRC in the #FarmBill so all of VT would be eligible. They are receiving a $235k grant.
Federal grants will support the redevelopment of Main St in @Winooskivt, infrastructure in Newport, Burke, St. Albans & Randolph. Childcare & workforce efforts supported by @LetsGrowKids & @VTRoundtable.

Good Governance 🇮🇳

What is needed to be done to get the #economy up and running on the 5th gear

1.States should slash stamp duty and registration fee on immovable property deals to 0.5% levels for registries done from 24.10.2019 to 24.12.2019. This will set real estate on fire, eliminate black 💰,
enable banks to auction seized properties of defaulters and clean their books. Govt will realise lot of stamp duty revenue and even demand for renovation /construction and home loans also will go up.
2.States should scrap profession tax. Now that they have GST which empowers them to tax services, they should let go of profession tax which only hassles employers with lot of unproductive work
3.Centre should cut interest rates on postal savings except PPF & Sukanya Samridhi.
