by Paul Lesure, Green Mountain Solar As one of the founders and president of Green Mountain Solar, I want to take a minute to celebrate the consistent efforts of Vermont’s congressional delegation to address the climate crisis with the urgency it requires. Thanks to the efforts of Senators Patrick Leahy, Bernie Sanders and Congressman Peter Welch, a federal tax credit will continue to cover 26% of the installed cost of a new solar system through the end of 2022. This investment tax credit (ITC) is the most significant national solar incentive, providing a valuable return on investment for homeowners and small businesses that invest in clean, local, renewable energy.

Vermont Congressman Peter Welch recently met virtually with leaders from the state’s Northeast Kingdom to discuss a recovery plan for that region.
The Northeast Kingdom is Vermont’s least populous and least densely populated region. It is bordered to the north by Canada and the east by New Hampshire and includes Essex, Caledonia and Orleans counties.
Democrat-at-large Peter Welch kicked off a virtual meeting of the Northeast Kingdom Collaborative explaining his hopes in a new Congressional relief package and praising the updated regional Recovery Plan. “This aid package hopefully will include as it did in the CARES Package some state and local money where there’s some significant discretion in Montpelier for the allocation of resources. And the fact that you are all working together for the focus on the Northeast Kingdom needs, and I saw your elements you know broadband, housing, education, small business and community vitality really really makes sense to me.”

On the eve of a sea change in Washington, Vermont Congressman Peter Welch held a telephone town hall with his constituents Tuesday evening. Most of the questions centered on accountability following the January 6th mob attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Democratic Representative-at-large Peter Welch advertised the town hall as an opportunity to discuss the assault on the Capitol and President Donald Trump’s second impeachment. He began with a firsthand account of his experience in the capitol. Welch said the evidence is clear now former President Trump incited the insurrection. “It was an absolute use of intimidation and force, violence, in an effort to topple the election the results of the American people. And it’s the most terrible thing an elected official can do let alone the President of the United States. All power in our democracy has to flow from people not from politicians.”
