Public input will help the Clean Water Board make its budget recommendation, representing approximately $33 million of the $50 million anticipated to be available for water quality projects in State Fiscal Year 2021. Clean water funding supports municipalities, farmers, and others implementing priority projects to improve water quality in Vermont’s lakes, rivers, and wetlands. “We want to hear directly from Vermonters on how they think these funds should be invested,” said Julie Moore, Agency of Natural Resources Secretary. “We’ve identified four priority areas for clean water projects: storm water runoff from developed lands including parking lots and roads, agricultural conservation practices, natural resources restoration, and wastewater treatment infrastructure. We are asking the public to provide feedback on how much money should be directed toward each area. This feedback will allow us to better consider Vermonter’s priorities in making decisions about how to allocate funds.” The Clean Water Board is accepting comments through September 6, 2019. The easiest way to provide feedback is via the Board’s 8-question online questionnaire, (https://www. surveymonkey.com/r/CWFSFY21). Vermonters are also invited to participate in the Clean Water Budget Public Hearing on August 22, 2019. Attendees will learn more about clean water funding as well as the budget process, and provide comments on the Board’s draft State’s Fiscal Year 2021 clean water budget. The meeting will be held on Thursday, August 22nd at 10:00 am, in the Winooski Room, National Life Building, Montpelier and online (via Skype). To attend in person, please RSVP by email. The Clean Water Board recommends annual clean water budget allocations, totaling $32.9 million for State Fiscal Year 2021. Vermont’s clean water funding comprises Capital Funds and the Clean Water Fund with revenue from the Meals and Rooms Tax allocation, Property Transfer Tax Surcharge, and unclaimed bottle deposits. The Board consists of five state agency secretaries: Administration; Agriculture, Food and Markets; Commerce and Community Development; Natural Resources; and Transportation. In addition, four members of the public are appointed by the Governor. Learn more about how to participate in the clean water budget process at the clean water funding webpage: https:// dec.vermont.gov/watershed/cwi/cwf/. • • • Farm To School Program continued from page 2 This award was part of more than $9 million in grants for 126 projects across 42 states that were announced this week as part of a program that Leahy championed in the creation of the child nutrition bill of 2010, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. These projects are expected to serve more than 3.2 million students in over 5,400 schools nationwide. Since the program began awarding grants seven years ago, Vermont has received more than $585,000 in federal funding. Results from the 2015 USDA Farm to School Census showed that schools with strong farm to school programs are seeing reductions in plate waste, increases in school meal participation rates, and an increased willingness on the part of children to try new foods, notably fruits and vegetables. Students at Vermont schools with Farm to School programs were above the state and national averages for fruit and vegetable consumption. The Leahy authored USDA Farm to School program receives $5 million per year in annual appropriations. As Vice Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Leahy has been instrumental in securing additional discretionary funding for this important program through annual appropriations bills. Earlier this year, Leahy and Senator David Perdue (R–GA) introduced bipartisan legislation to raise the program’s funding level from $5 million to $15 million, and increase the maximum grant award to $250,000. The legislation also expands the scope of the program to include pre-schools, summer food service programs, and after-school programs, and it enhances access to tribal foods and other farming, such as aquaculture. The legislation also helps grantees improve procurement and distribution of local food. Leahy added: “In Vermont we’ve long seen the benefits of farm to school programs in addressing child hunger. Since we started the USDA program, grant applications have far exceeded the funds available. It is time we provide additional support to this commonsense strategy.” AUGUST 2019 COUPONS Auto Repair & Convenience Store Armand, Joyce & Steve Jalbert 320 Washington St., Barre 479-9494 Distributor of A.R.

Rt. 14, Williamstown • 802-433-1038 DEBIT EBT/SNAP Cards Welcome Governor Phil Scott Details Higher Education Initiatives to Support Vermont Colleges, Universities and Students Governor Phil Scott today detailed efforts to strengthen and expand higher education opportunities in Vermont, an important piece of the strategy to reverse the state’s aging demographic and workforce challenges. “As we work to grow our workforce and help Vermonters move up in their careers, our higher education system—which includes traditional degree programs, as well as trades training—plays a critical role,” said Governor Scott. “Our state colleges and universities not only provide the education and training needed for our future workforce, they also offer an incredible opportunity to recruit and retain the Vermonters we need to reverse our population trends.” According to the 2017 State of Higher Education in Vermont report, Vermont colleges and universities attracted more than 44,000 students a year and employed more than 11,000 Vermonters in 2015. More than half of the students were from out-of-state. An analysis by the Association of Vermont Independent Colleges recently showed that Vermont’s independent colleges alone contributed more than $2 billion annually to Vermont’s economy. As part of the Fiscal Year 2020 budget, the Vermont State Colleges received a $2.5 million increase in their budget over 2019. Governor Scott reiterated this increase helps to make a Vermont State College education accessible to more Vermonters seeking both non-degree and degree programs. “We appreciate the Governor’s recognition of the Vermont State Colleges System’s critical role in supporting Vermont’s workforce and economy,” said VSC Chancellor Jeb Spaulding. “Our colleges and universities provide education and training essential to Vermont employers and to the futures of our students.” The budget also included a one-time increase of $500,000 for non-degree grants offered by the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC). The Advancement Grant program will help nearly 300 Vermonters access higher education programs that don’t necessarily result in a twoor four-year degree—a growing market for Vermont higher education institutions. “Increased funding in this program will create real opportunities for Vermonters who need education and training for jobs that are waiting to be filled,” said Scott Giles, president and CEO of VSAC. “We all hear from employers every day about open positions that can’t be filled. Many of those positions require the education and training the Legislative Changes Will Impact the Sale of Capital Assets and Real Estate 5” Residential & 6” Commercial Free Estimates / Fully Insured Custom Gutters Available in colors to match Made from the heaviest weight aluminum .032 gauge We offer a 20-Year warranty on materials and 5-Year workmanship guarantee • • • Advancement Grant program is providing right now. We thank the Governor and the Legislature for this commitment to a program that both grows our economy and helps working-age Vermonters achieve their career and education goals.” During Wednesday’s news conference, Governor Scott also announced the inaugural winners of two $5,000 “Choose Vermont” Scholarships—a scholarship promotion designed to attract new first-year students who commit to attend Vermont colleges. The winners are Kelsey True of Old Saybrook, Connecticut who will attend the University of Vermont to study nursing and Brandon Ryan of Randolph, Vermont who will attend Castleton University to study political science. “I chose to go to a college in Vermont because of the high quality of education,” said True. “UVM has one of the highest pass rates for the national nursing test out of all the schools I looked at, which means I will come out of school being able to compete in many hospitals. Being at a school in Vermont will allow me to get a top-grade education, while being able to do the outdoor activities I love all year round.” “I chose Vermont because I wanted to be near my family and ultimately the affordability of Vermont higher education,” said Ryan. “College is very expensive and I’m glad that Vermont is trying to make upcoming college students’ lives easier.” The Choose Vermont Scholarship program is a collaboration between the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development (ACCD), the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation, the Association of Vermont Independent Colleges and the Vermont Higher Education Council. More than 1,400 new Vermont students entered the contest—roughly an equal number of Vermonters and non-residents. The Administration plans to run the contest again next spring, as well as expand cooperative marketing efforts with the colleges this fall. “We’re undertaking a wholistic approach to solving Vermont’s worker shortage,” said ACCD Secretary Michael Schirling. “We must provide relevant and industry-demanded training to our native high school and college students, we need to attract more out-of-state college students to Vermont and retain those students in our workforce, and we must import new working-age adults to Vermont. Our colleges and universities play a key role nearly every step of the way.” In late May, the Vermont legislature made two significant changes for 2019 which will affect the sale of capital assets and real estate. Both changes were in Act 71 and will take effect July 1, 2019. The first change is in the treatment of capital gains as it relates to a taxpayer’s personal income taxes. Under current law there is a 40 percent exclusion for capital gains which will be soon capped at $350,000 as of July 1. This means that any gain above $875,000 will be taxed at standard income tax rates beginning on July 1, 2019. “If you are currently considering the sale of a large capital asset such as a business or investment property that you have owned for more than three years, the Department of Taxes suggests you contact your tax preparer for guidance immediately,” said Acting Tax Commissioner Craig Bolio. The second change is related to the transfer of real estate or real property in Vermont. Under current law, the Property Transfer Tax only applies to the transfer of ownership of real property by deed. Effective July 1, the purchase of a controlling interest in an entity holding title to real property in the state of Vermont will trigger a property transfer tax liability. Generally, a controlling interest means 50 percent or more of stock, capital, profits or beneficial interest in an entity. The tax due from the purchaser is calculated based on the fair market value of the property. The department will issue additional guidance and links on its website as soon as possible. Taxpayers who have questions about these changes should contact their tax preparers. A tax preparer who is most familiar with the taxpayer’s circumstances will be able to provide the most relevant and beneficial guidance.
