Dear Reader,
VTDigger relies on reader support to fund the nonprofit reporting Vermonters depend on. As we close out 2025, we’re working to reach our year-end goal by New Year’s Eve.
Right now, your gift in any amount up to $500 will be tripled by a group of generous Vermont donors.
Our year end member drive is our most important source of revenue for the year ahead. If you value VTDigger’s reporting, especially our policy and politics coverage, this is the time to chip in.
As VTDigger’s Statehouse reporter, I track the legislation that shapes daily life in Vermont. This includes the development of the state budget, new tax proposals, energy regulations and housing reforms. These issues are complex, they move quickly and they affect people’s lives directly.
Without independent political reporting, Vermonters would have fewer facts, less context and a weaker understanding of how government decisions actually happen. Without this kind of accountability journalism, powerful interests are able to operate in the shadows.
Your support helps my colleagues and me shine a light on government and the issues that matter most. If you can, please consider making a gift that will be tripled to help sustain a free and independent press in Vermont.
The member drive — and the triple match challenge — end at midnight on December 31. Will you help us make the most of this opportunity?
Thank you for supporting the work that keeps Vermont informed.
Sincerely,
Shaun Robinson
State government and politics reporter, VTDigger
