Legislative Adjournment

[Carolyn Branagan]

The  Vermont  legislature adjourned at about 6pm last  Saturday night. I left the statehouse at about  8pm.  As you've read  in the papers, Governor Douglas is going to veto at  least one  bil,  the fiscal 2006  Appropriations bill, and  may  veto another,  the Health Care bill.    

Since we have to have a budget to run the functions of state  government , we'll  go back  to  Montpelier for a special session before the new  fiscal year  starts July 1. I'm still waiting for word on when the special session will be.  In the meantime I getting back into real life by catching up on all the things I've  let  go while I was in Montpelier.  I told my husband on Monday morning my  goal for this week is to not leave the hill where we live!  

I really appreciate all the input  many of  you have given. My job in Montpelier as your State Representative is not  to  further my  own agenda,  but  to represent  you.   Thanks  for everything.
