Vermont Business Magazine Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) on Monday announced more than $42 million, that he requested on behalf of 51 Vermont projects, has been included in the annual Senate Appropriations bills released last week. The bills have to be negotiated before being passed by both the House and Senate and signed into law by the President. Sanders’ Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) requests for the Fiscal Year 2023 would meet needs across the state and across a number of issue areas, including child care, infrastructure, clean energy and water, farming and agriculture, education, health care, and housing.

“Through this process, I had the privilege of continuing to work with Vermonters across our state to identify and secure funding for critical projects that would have a real and positive benefit for our communities,” said Sanders. “In these difficult times, it is essential that we make sure the government is working for the people and for our communities, not the wealthy and the powerful. I look forward to seeing them through the process here in Congress and getting this important funding home to Vermont.”
