Newspaper Article
A perfect state of what?
2008
Overview
Monday, January 14 Two recent and quite divergent rankings of Vermont's economic prospects have perplexed many Vermonters. First, the free-market Beacon Hill Institute of Boston released its State Competitiveness Report. It showed Vermont at a very commendable 12th position. The contrasting view came in the newspaper headline: \"Vermont's economic index ranks last.\" This unenviable finding came from a study by the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council. The ALEC study ignored the \"quality of life\" components of the Beacon Hill study. Instead, it focused heavily on taxes, spending and government regulations. House Speaker Gaye Symington put her spin on the findings. She lamented that Vermonters are \"arguing over whether economic growth is desirable at all.\" She wants growth, of course, but not unless it produces high job quality and reduced income disparity. That is reminiscent of the comment made by a liberal senator a decade ago, that if businesses are going to complain about Act 60, we don't want them here. Take a hike!
