Bottom line: Clean water is essential. Forcing Vermont farmers to finance public environmental goods through regulation is not “pro-farmer.” #OverregulatedVermont #VT4VT


Many farms were told to retrofit manure storage, buffers, fencing, and runoff controls with six-figure price tags—often on thin margins. #VT4VT


Vermont's laws forced Consolidation, here's the results: fewer farms, larger average herd sizes, more land under fewer operators. Environmental policy reshaped farm structure. #OverregulatedVermont #VT4VT


Vermont’s population crisis is structural: Act 250 delays industry, housing restrictions, energy costs, and farm regulation. GROW spends taxpayer money everywhere except those problems. Source: Vermont permitting and development framework accd.vermont.gov/business/permi… #VT4Vt


Results from 50 Year's of Vermont Failed Policies: fewer farms, more state government power consolidation, more grant dependence. Environmental gains paired with economic attrition = systematic state wide failures #OverregulatedVermont #VT4VT


Old New England culture produced presidents, generals, inventors, and builders because it rewarded discipline, production, and permanence. VT's "GROW" replaces that with nonprofit-mediated identity programming that produces none of those outcomes accd.vermont.gov/funding-incent… #VT4VT


Enforcement is complaint-driven and paperwork-heavy. Farmers face inspections, penalties, and operational risk even when acting in good faith. #OverregulatedVermont #VT4VT


Clean water laws done right are collaborative: long timelines, full funding, technical help, and shared responsibility. Vermont chose mandates and abuse. #VT4VT


Vermont EPA Typical triggers putting farms out of business: mandated manure storage upgrades, buffers, fencing, runoff controls costing $100k–$500k+ per farm, with partial cost-share only. Thin margins couldn’t absorb it. #OverregulatedVermont #VT4VT


Repeal Act 181. Repeal Act 250. Return land-use decisions to towns within clear environmental rules. Local control, clear rules, and faster permitting. End the overreach. #VT4VT


Cost-share programs don’t cover 100%. The unfunded remainder becomes debt. Small and mid-scale farms absorb it—or exit. #VT4VT


Epic failure: Vermont took systems that once worked—healthcare, housing, energy—and buried them under mandates, central planning, and consolidation. The results are predictable. #VT4VT


Government shouldn’t be in the healthcare business. Vermont’s all-payer experiment proved it—more bureaucracy, higher costs, less competition. #VT4VT Vermont’s 8-year ‘all-payer’ health care experiment sunset at the end of 2025. What did it teach us? vtdigger.org/2026/03/13/ver…


They won't be satisfied until there are no business left in Vermont. They already ran 5900 farmers out of the state let's chase out the only companies left. #VT4VT


Vermont's Cost-share with farmers doesn’t equal affordability. Even a 70–90% grant leaves debt service that breaks small and mid-scale operations. They are left with only two choices exit or consolidate. #VT4VT


Small Vermont farms can only succeed if grant-aligned. Willing to structure operations around state programs (Farm-to-Plate, water grants, climate metrics). Their ability to do paperwork not farm, matters #OverregulatedVermont #VT4VT


Vermont does not need a 1970 command-and-control land regime patched in 2024 like act 181 reforms. It needs property rights, local control, and supply growth. Repeal Act 250. #VT4VT


Repeal Act 181. Repeal Act 250. Restore local land authority and stop the cycle of restriction and taxation and leave theft. #VT4VT

When Act 181 passed, its supporters framed it as a “grand bargain” between housing proponents and environmentalists. buff.ly/gzSBGYn



Vermont can't survive on boutique or diversified organic agritourism alone even though these value-added products create revenue streams that tolerate higher fixed costs they won't turn around population decline and loss of an almost ziltch industrial tax base. #VT4VT

Act 181 admits Vermont has a housing problem. It creates tiers and exemptions inside Act 250. If you need carve-outs to build, the core law is the problem. #VTpoli #vt4vt

Direct correlation to 50 years of policy: Vermont built a system that blocks growth (permits, jobs, housing) then taxes the survivors to fund the cost spiral. WCAX: VT “dead last” in economic momentum. #OverRegulatedVT #VT4VT

Welfare isn’t just for the poor. It’s for corporations—unlimited subsidies, bailouts, and carve-outs paid by everyone else. #VT4VT
