Lt. Governor Phil Scott started his "Vermont Everyday Jobs" initiative to promote Vermont businesses and highlight the hard work that Vermonters do every day in all areas of our economy. Lt. Governor Scott plans to take a few times each month, as his schedule permits, to work a few hours in different facilities, offices, factories and farms around the state.

By finding out firsthand, and in a hands-on manner, what it takes to make Vermont businesses work, the Lt. Governor will gain a better understanding of what state government can do to help those businesses work better. The tour will also help to facilitate relationships and ongoing dialogue between the Vermont business community -- to include everyone from company owners to custodial crews -- and their representatives in state government.
