It’s the last week of the legislative session in Montpelier — or so they say!
Here’s what else is happening in Vermont news and politics this week. Got a newsworthy event for next week’s calendar? Email by Friday to submit.
Monday, May 6
- The House gavels in at 1 p.m. On the lengthy calendar: third reading for the immigrant driver’s-license bill.
- The House and Senate set to work resolving differnences in their versions of the tax and budget bills. Conference committees begin at 2 p.m. (budget bill) and 5:30 p.m. (tax bill) and are scheduled to continue all week.
- The Legislature might be in crunch mode, but Gov. Peter Shumlin is apparently leaving the arm-twisting to his staff today. The gov’s schedule: 9 a.m. in Johnson for a ceremonial lease signing, 10 a.m. in Morrisville for a library centennial, and noon in Montpelier for a state employees recognition luncheon at the Elks Club.
- Live at 5:25 p.m., State Auditor Doug Hoffer will be on Channel 17. Watch live.
- At 7 p.m., the Burlington City Council meets at city hall, where they’ll vote on the appointment of Bob Rusten as Mayor Miro Weinberger’s pick for chief administrative officer.
Rest of the week after the break…
