Senator Peter Welch opposes a Postal Service rule that could restrict mail-in voting, warning it undermines election access. Vermont Saves hits $8 million in retirement savings, expanding to small businesses. Plus, Vermont gets federal waiver approval to redirect education funds toward student achievement, streamlining spending through 2029.
