From the office of Governor Scott:

Governor Phil Scott delivers his annual State of the State address to a joint session of General Assembly, opening his eighth legislative session as Governor.

The Governor outlines challenges and opportunities for the state in the coming year. And having already started working with legislators on key initiatives, he dedicates his address to highlighting why it is so critical for them to prioritize three key issues: public safety, affordability, and housing. 

The Governor also highlights the progress that has been made over the past several years on key priorities and the need to build on that work.

The Governor concludes by celebrating the example many Vermonters have set to support and revitalize their communities, calling on everyone to think about how they can contribute.
