Vermont small business owners are dealing with increasing costs and labor shortages as they continue to recover from the pandemic. Lawmakers in Montpelier have passed legislation imposing millions of dollars in new costs aimed at establishing new programs.

A call has been made for residents to contact their lawmakers, urging them to support Governor Phil Scott’s veto of H.217. This action is intended to prevent further tax increases on businesses already struggling with economic challenges.

The message emphasizes the need for immediate action to communicate opposition to the proposed tax hikes.
