LTE Heather Chase on Act 76
Dear Residents of Athens, Chester, Grafton, and Windham,. As I am out and about in the community talking with constituents, many have asked about the new payroll tax, Act 76. In the 2023 legislative session, the legislature passed Act 76. This act is already helping to ease the child care crisis that Vermont is facing. I voted for this because I see it through the lens of a small business owner and a working mother who needed childcare for my children. Unemployment is historically low; Vermont businesses need workers. When quality childcare is available, we have a larger workforce. That larger workforce also pays income tax, which provides taxpayers with a return on their investment – more people working means more tax revenue. More tax revenues mean the cost of running our government for the provision of necessary services is spread across more individuals.
