Scott Vetoes Key Bills Including Data Center Plan

Governor Phil Scott just vetoed four bills — including a major education reform — while holding back on others, sparking debate over state power, economic growth, and environmental responsibility. One bill aimed to crack down on home improvement fraud but failed due to a technical flaw. Another proposed voluntary salt certification to protect waterways, but Scott feared it could backfire with safety risks. A third would’ve managed cross-state programs, but he blocked it for overstepping constitutional limits. And the most contentious? A data center bill he called “overregulation,” arguing it could kill tech jobs — though lawmakers couldn’t override his veto. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
