AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Workforce & Disability Employment: UVM Health’s Project SEARCH wrapped up with a June 3 ceremony for eight graduates, including a participant with Down syndrome and Type 1 diabetes who gained workplace rotations, independence skills, and more diabetes self-management. PFAS & Consumer Safety: Vermont is among states tightening rules on “forever chemicals,” with new 2026 laws pushing disclosure and restrictions that could reshape what ends up in everyday products. Agriculture & Parkinson’s Risk: Vermont became the first state to ban paraquat, an herbicide linked to Parkinson’s disease, with a phase-out plan for current users. Data Centers & Power Costs: Gov. Phil Scott vetoed a Vermont law meant to curb unchecked data center development, drawing fire from environmental groups warning of higher utility bills and pollution. Food Assistance in Court: A federal judge temporarily blocked USDA from enforcing new SNAP funding conditions tied to gender and immigration policies, keeping billions flowing while the legal fight continues. Menopause Research: UVM researchers reported brain-activity differences across pre-, peri-, and post-menopause stages, suggesting menopause may also be a neurological transition. Public Health Policy Debate: A Senate hearing reignited national controversy over irreversible gender transition procedures for minors, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders questioning the focus and scale. Local Health & Safety: Vermont State Police reported a one-car crash in Woodford where a driver fell asleep, and a separate Derby-area crash involving a car and a horse that left the horse euthanized.
