• After Bracing for hard times, Vermont economists predict healthy state revenues: Until Thursday, lawmakers had been preparing for sour news. But state economists told them that Vermont has “exhibited surprising economic resilience” over the past year. According to Carr and Kavet’s report, Vermont’s economy over the past year has “exhibited surprising economic resilience.” Unemployment rates remain low, inflation persists but has slowed, and the stock market is performing well, the economists wrote. Two of the state’s three major pots of revenue are performing well, according to the report, with both the General Fund and Education Fund’s revenues exceeding expectations. Bolstering the General Fund were strong personal income tax receipts, they said, and for the Education Fund, “robust” consumer spending and higher-than-expected cannabis sales have lined the coffers.
