Public Assets Institute Conference 2010

September 30, Montpelier, VT

Recommitting to Vermont, Seizing the Opportunity
How to Use the Crisis to Make Vermont Work for Everyone

Public investment in people and infrastructure is the best short- and long-term strategy for Vermont—a way to help pull us out of the current recession and build a state that provides prosperity for all Vermonters.

The best research already tells us what works. So why hasn’t much of it been translated into policy—and how can we make sure it will be?

The economic crisis and the coming change of leadership in Montpelier provide an opportunity to re-examine how the state is meeting its core responsibilities: educating our children and workforce; assuring family economic security; providing accessible, affordable health care; and maintaining a revenue structure that is fair and raises the required funds for public investment we need.

At this year’s conference we will review the research about public investments, delve into the key reform efforts already under way, and explore how we can work together to seize this opportunity to bring greater prosperity to all Vermonters now and in the future.
