Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How gubernatorial candidates would make housing affordable
Q: Well, Carly, let's shift to Amanda Janou. She's the political newcomer and an economist and is shaping up to be Scott's most competitive challenger in years. How is she approaching housing in Vermont?
Berlin says Janu supports simpler permitting and more investment in permanently affordable homes, and is especially concerned about corporate, private equity and second-home ownership.
How gubernatorial candidates would make housing affordable
Q: Can we start with Governor Phil Scott? He's been in office almost a decade now. How does he see Vermont's housing issues?
Berlin says Scott sees a shortage of homes as the root of housing problems and supports building more homes, alongside simplifying permitting.
The state of the Vermont governor’s race
Q: What is Phil Scott's closing message to voters? Like, how is he trying to counteract this momentum?
Hirschfeld says Scott is presenting himself as a steady leader, blaming economic difficulties on national conditions and the pandemic, and arguing that Jenoux's proposals are unworkable.
The state of the Vermont governor’s race
Q: So Phil Scott was once widely considered unbeatable at the ballot box. How has Amanda Jenoux managed to make this such a tight race?
Peter Hirschfeld says Jenoux's populist message has energized voters who wanted a viable progressive candidate, while Scott faces economic challenges and a coalition that appears to be fracturing.
Scott and the supermajority
Q: What will divided government mean for the competing policy visions we saw from Republicans and Democrats on the campaign trail this year?
Hirschfeld says the consequences will depend on how parties work together once the legislature convenes in January. Democrats may pursue proposals from Jenu's campaign, while Scott will need broad Democratic support to advance his priorities.
