Expected issues that the legislators and chamber will discuss include health care, state tourism funding, workforce/labor issues, permitting, mental health concerns, economic development issues, gun regulations and taxation and fiscal policies.
The monthly programs provide area business people and residents an overview of the session and legislative issues affecting the region. The Northeast Kingdom Chamber organizes the monthly forums. Following legislator updates, there will be time allotted for questions from the public.
