Jason Gibbs Proposal Quotations

The governor will outline a comprehensive plan to offer Vermont residents an opportunity to receive a higher education here in Vermont so that they can then work here and raise a family. It's a proposal that will affect an entire generation of school students in the state of Vermont.

His analysis of Sen. Bartlett's proposal is accurate. The governor's vision of making a Vermont college education affordable and accessible for every family is important to the long-term economic security of Vermont. It is the single best use of this available resource.

Governor Douglas wants to put scholarships into the hands and savings accounts of a thousand families for the next year so they can be absolutely certain those resources exist when they decide where they're going to go to college. The Senate proposal is nothing but a stall tactic that fails to deliver what working families need.
