Vermont has a citizen legislature, with state representatives and senators being part time positions. Most have other occupations they work around or take a leave from when the legislature is in session from January to May or are otherwise retired from their careers. And unless they are the House Speaker or Senate Pro Tem, they do not have offices or personal staff.
A citizen legislature (in my view) helps to keep our elected representatives more accessible to the districts they represent. Fall is a good time to start planning for the upcoming session with the sharing of ideas and concerns. I hope you will stop by during one of the above “Office Hours” or email me at JHarrison@leg.state.vt.us.
Update 8/29/19: The Road will be closed until Wednesday September 3, 2019.
Update 9/9/19: Wheelerville Road is now open to through traffic.
Taxes are due September 9, 2019.
