Vermont one of three states to receive national grant for youth with autism

by Press Release
Over a two-year period, the NPDC will collaborate with state personnel to develop a system of professional development and technical assistance to promote the use of evidence-based practices for individuals with autism spectrum disorders. At the end of the grant period, Vermont will have a team of new trainers who will be able to provide ongoing professional development statewide. This will enhance training capacity in the state.

by agalloway
Salmon said, “regardless of where you stand on the issue of re-licensing, everybody wants to be sure that the funds are being monitored properly and that the State’s monitoring of the trust fund is robust and timely.” He added that “I believe the suggestions in this report provide a road map to improve the State’s monitoring and the Public Service Department has indicated its willingness to consider them.”

“Vermont’s apple orchards are full of activity this time of year and the ‘Apples to iPods’ promotion is a creative way to make apple picking even more fun,” said Bruce Hyde, Vermont’s Commissioner of Tourism and Marketing. “Apple picking is the perfect way to experience Vermont’s gorgeous autumn landscape and participate in a fun activity that Vermonters have long enjoyed.”

Dubie embarks on 26.2-hour campaign marathon Sept. 8

by Press Release
“Vermonters work hard for their money, and they deserve a Governor who will work hard for them,” Dubie said. “Our dedicated workforce is not just made up of people who work 9-to-5 jobs; there are shift workers, fire fighters, and thousands of others hard at work while most of us are sleeping. They know what it’s like to put in a hard day’s – or night’s – work, and as Governor I will cut taxes and control state spending to make sure they keep more of the money they earn.”

Racine: “Dubie deception is unacceptable”

by Press Release
Brian Dubie's numbers do not add up in his economic development plan, just as Jim Douglas' numbers didn't add up in the budget this year. Brian Dubie's policies will mean bigger deficits for the state of Vermont, while more Vermonters struggle to make ends meet.
