Jason Gibbs Governor 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.

The governor still believes these changes should apply to all branches and levels. The House did take a very, very small step in the right direction by eliminating the privilege for the Legislature.

The governor recognizes the need to make Vermont an affordable place to live and raise a family. We do need to address day to day issues, but we've got to think about the future down the road.

The governor is never particularly enthusiastic about raising any tax.

The governor is concerned with a crisis of affordability. He will target economic development efforts that are focused on building generations of opportunity.

The governor doesn't recall this article, but he's been very clear that he did not believe that then and he doesn't believe that now. He doesn't remember sitting down for the article. This is a disappointing display of the politics of personal destruction, and there's no place for this kind of trash in Vermont.

The bypass remains, in its entirety, a priority for Gov. Douglas and the state Agency of Transportation. The governor is hopeful the Legislature will do the right thing and support his recommendation.

His departure from the Associated Press is a real loss to the state and to journalism as a whole. The governor is saddened by the news.

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.
