“We gaveled in in the midst of a pandemic and we have made the greatest investment in Vermont to build us back better and stronger," the Speaker said.

Republican Governor Phil Scott thanked the chambers for their work. 

“I greatly appreciate and I’m grateful for most of the choices you’ve made but all of your efforts," Scott said.

The Legislature was completely virtual this session and currently plans to return to the Statehouse in January.
