December 19, 2025: As we finish up 2025, Rep. Emilie Kornheiser joins the show to break down the annual "December 1st letter." In this document, the VT Department of Taxes outlines the expected education tax yields for the upcoming fiscal year. This year, the department is forecasting an average increase of 11.9 percent. 

NOTE: The number, however, is not set in stone and may change by the end of the the Legislative session.
