Governor Pushes Back on Housing Rules

Governor Phil Scott celebrates signing a bill rolling back restrictive land use laws, calling it a victory for rural development and balanced governance—but he’s frustrated lawmakers still aren’t tackling the housing crisis head-on. With Democrats no longer holding a supermajority, Scott argues his voice and constituents’ concerns now carry more weight, citing past vetoes overridden as proof the Legislature ignored the people. Developers and rural business owners cautiously welcome the repeal, seeing it as a start but urging more tailored, practical solutions that respect Vermont’s unique character while making housing affordable and accessible.
