Phil Scott, through a pair of executive orders signed Thursday, sought to streamline the Act 250 permitting process and unify the stateâs public safety agencies under a single roof. Executive order 02-21 would replace the five-person, appointed Natural Resources Board with a three-person board â a chair and two members, all appointed by the governor âwith the advice and consent of the Senate.â Senate President Pro Tem Becca Balint said she had âpersonally connected with the Governorâ about his thinking regarding both orders. âI will be working with senators, especially in the committees of jurisdiction related to the orders, to do due diligence and consider any possible concerns. â
