Since 1983, they have been analyzing ‘sound, timely and factual government data to answer current governmental issues’. Today’s presentation focused on the 2011 state budget and are residents leaving Vermont due to financial concerns. By using IRS data, 15,000-16,000 people move in and out of Vermont each year. The incoming residents bring 15-20% higher incomes with them than those who leave. Item: A higher number of people leave NH for Florida than Vermonters. They also shared charts dealing with how the state budget could be level funded in 2016 if health care costs were removed from the picture. Public Assets has partnered with the Ethan Allen Institute and created (www.vttransparency.org) to provide governmental information. Several questions kept the conversation going past the end of the program.
