Philip B. Scott (born August 4, 1958) is an American politician and entrepreneur who is the 82nd and current Governor of Vermont, since January 2017. A Republican, he won the 2016 general election with over 52% of the vote.[1] He was previously the 80th Lieutenant Governor of Vermont, an office he held from 2011 to 2017. Before serving as lieutenant governor, he was a Vermont State Senator representing the Washington County District from 2001 to 2011.

Early life

Scott was born on August 4, 1958 in Barre City, Vermont.[2] He graduated from Barre's Spaulding High School in 1976,[3] and is also a 1980 graduate of the University of Vermont, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Education.[4]

Business career

With his cousin, he was a co-owner of DuBois Construction, a small construction business based in Middlesex, Vermont which was founded by his uncle;[5] Scott began working there after his high school graduation, and became a co-owner in 1986.[6][7] Scott is a past President of the Associated General Contractors of Vermont.[7]

On January 6, 2012, a fire at Dubois Construction caused substantial damage.[8][9] The owners were able to rebuild and continue operations.[10]

During his campaign for governor, Scott indicated that he intended to sell his share of the company if he won the election to avoid possible conflicts of interest, since DuBois Construction does business with the State of Vermont.[11]

On January 11, 2017, Scott responded to a reporter's question by indicating that he had sold his share of DuBois Construction in a transaction that was finalized on December 30, 2016, and that he would provide additional details later in January.[12] Press accounts on January 13 indicated that Scott had sold his share of DuBois Construction to the company for $2.5 million, plus 3 percent interest, payable over 15 years.[13] During a meeting with reporters, Scott indicated that he opted to finance the sale himself rather than having the company borrow the money to pay him in full in order to preserve the company's bonding capacity, which it requires in order to bid on and complete construction projects and other work.[14] Some critics and observers suggested that Scott's sale of his share in the company doesn't completely eliminate possible conflicts of interest, since some Dubois Construction contracts involve work for the state.[14] Scott and the attorney who negotiated the sale on his behalf responded by indicating their belief that Scott's actions remove him from the business sufficiently to eliminate possible conflicts of interest.[14]

Racing career

Scott is a champion stock car racer.[7] He won the 1996 and 1998 Thunder Road Late Model Series (LMS) championships and the 1997 and 1999 Thunder Road Milk Bowls.[7] (The Milk Bowl is Thunder Road's annual season finale.)[7]

In 2002, he became a three-time champion, winning both the Thunder Road and Airborne Late Model Series track championships and the American Canadian Tour championship.[7] (Airborne Park Speedway is a stock car track in the town of Plattsburgh, New York).[15] He also competed in the 2005 British Stock Car Association (BriSCA) Formula One Championship of the World, but did not finish.[16]

On July 6, 2017, Scott won the Thunder Road Late Model Series feature race; he started from the pole, and the victory was his first since 2013.[17] As of July 2017, Scott has 30 career wins, which places him third all time in Thunder Road's LMS division.[18]

Political career

Vermont Senate

A Republican, Scott was elected to the Vermont Senate in 2000, representing the Washington County Senate District. He was reelected four times, and served from 2001 to 2011. During his Senate career, he was the Vice-Chair of the Senate Transportation Committee and Chair of the Senate Institutions Committee. He also served as a member of the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee.[19] As Chair of the Senate Institutions Committee, Scott changed the practices for guiding the state's capital construction budget by establishing an affordable threshold of expenditures, ensuring that expenditures are allocated to long-term investments in infrastructure, and creating a fair process for distributing grants.[20]

During his time in the Senate, Scott served on several special committees, including the Judicial Nominating Board, the Legislative Advisory Committee on the State House, the Joint Oversight Corrections Committee, and the Legislative Council Committee, among others.[21]

Lieutenant Governor

On November 2, 2010, Scott was elected the 79th Lieutenant Governor of Vermont;[22] he defeated Steve Howard and assumed office on January 6, 2011. He was reelected in 2012, defeating Cassandra Gekas, and elected for a third term in 2014, defeating Dean Corren.

As lieutenant governor, Scott presided over the Vermont Senate when it was in session. In addition, he served as a member of the committee on committees, the three-member panel which determines Senate committee assignments and appoints committee chairpersons and vice chairpersons. In the event of a tie vote in the Vermont Senate, Scott was tasked with casting a tie-breaking vote. Scott also served as acting governor when the governor was out of state.[23]

Scott also served as Chair of the Emergency Preparedness Council, where he worked with the Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, as well as other agencies and departments, on security matters impacting Vermont.[24]

In his capacity as lieutenant governor, Scott started a "Vermont Everyday Jobs" initiative, where he spends time working in different jobs throughout the state in order to gain a better understanding of what state government can do to help Vermont businesses work.[25]

As lieutenant governor, Scott was a strong proponent of Vermont's "Buy Local" initiative.[26]

As a state senator and as lieutenant governor, Scott was active with a number of community service projects. In 2005, he founded the Wheels for Warmth program, which has raised more than $309,000 for heating fuel assistance programs in Vermont.[5] In 2011, Scott relied on his experience in and contacts with the construction industry to organize the removal and disposal of mobile homes destroyed by Tropical Storm Irene, an effort which was completed at no cost to the homeowners, and without requiring an expenditure of state funds.[27]

Job approval

As of September 2015, Scott maintained both high name recognition and favorability among Vermont residents. A poll conducted by the Castleton University Polling Institute found that more than three-quarters of Vermonters knew who Scott was, and that among those who were able to identify him, 70% viewed him favorably.[28] Despite being a Republican himself, the same poll found that 59% of self-identified Democrats held a favorable view of Scott, while only 15% held an unfavorable view of him.[28]

National Lieutenant Governors Association activities

Scott was an active member of the National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA), and served on the NLGA Executive Committee and the NLGA Finance Committee.[29][30] As a member of the NLGA, Scott joined fellow Lieutenant Governors across the country in two bi-partisan letters opposing proposed cuts to the Army National Guard in both 2014 and 2015.[31][32] Scott was a lead sponsor on a NLGA resolution to develop a long-term vision for surface transportation in the United States.[33] Scott was also a co-sponsor on resolutions to recognize the importance of arts and culture in tourism to the U.S. economy, to support Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, to support designating a National Arts in Education Week, and to support a comprehensive system to end homelessness among U.S. veterans.[34][35][36][37]

Governor of Vermont

2016 Campaign for Governor

In September 2015, Scott announced his candidacy for Vermont governor.[38]

An early 2016 poll commissioned by Vermont Public Radio and conducted by the Castleton University Polling Institute indicated that among the two candidates for the Republican nomination for governor, Scott was preferred by 42% of respondents compared to 4% for candidate Bruce Lisman.[39] A poll commissioned by Energy Independent Vermont in late June 2016 indicated that Scott had the support of 68% of Republicans, while Lisman had the support of 23% of Republicans.[40]

On May 8, 2016, Scott received the endorsements of nearly all of the Vermont Republican legislators.[41] Scott did not support President Donald Trump in his 2016 presidential campaign.[42]

On August 9, Scott defeated Lisman in the primary election by a margin of 21 percentage points.[43] He defeated Sue Minter, the Democratic Party nominee, in the November general election by a margin of 8.7 percentage points.[44][45]

Governorship

Scott became governor of Vermont on January 5, 2017.

2017

Executive Orders

On his first day in office, Governor Scott signed four executive orders, which would redirect the priorities of state agencies and departments toward improving the economy and protecting vulnerable Vermonters, establish an Opiate Coordination Council and a Director of Drug Policy, create a Government Modernization and Efficiency Team (GMET), and established the Program to Improve Vermonter Outcomes Together (PIVOT) to implement GMET's recommendations.

Budget

Governor Scott delivered his first budget address to the Vermont General Assembly on January 24, 2017. His proposal calls for balancing the state's budget "without increasing taxes or fees or cutting programs for Vermonters in need."[46] The proposed budget is level-funded over the previous fiscal year. The Governor called for achieving savings through a number of mechanisms. Specifically, he proposed freezing education spending at current levels for FY2018 in order to keep property taxes down; eliminating Vermont Health Connect's role in health insurance for non-Medicaid clients; closing the Windsor Workcamp (the most expensive per-capita workcamp in Vermont); achieving administrative savings across all agencies and departments; and cutting costs in the Agency of Human Services by eliminating vacant positions and reducing disproportionate share payments to hospitals. The budget also calls for investments to fund downtown and village tax credits, small business development counselors, tourism and marketing, a research and development tax credit, a $35 million affordable housing bond, an additional opiate addiction treatment hub, water cleanup, early education, the Child Care Assistance Program, educational efficiency grants, trades training, military scholarships, an increase in support for the Vermont State Colleges, an increase in support to the University of Vermont, and an increase in support to the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC).[47][48]

Priorities

Governor Scott has used his "6-3-1" mantra to emphasize his priorities. "6" represents the six fewer workers in the Vermont workforce every day, "3" represents the three fewer children in Vermont's public school system every day, and "1" represents the number of babies born in Vermont every day to a mother addicted to drugs.[49] In April 2017, the Governor launched the first ever statewide substance use disorder summit to address the challenges of providing treatment for substance abuse.[50] On April 13, Governor Scott announced a $150 million settlement in the ongoing case of alleged fraud relating to the Jay Peak and Burke Mountain EB-5 developments.[51]

Job Approval

According to a Morning Consult poll released in April 2017, Governor Scott's approval rating stood at 68%, making him the 4th most popular Governor in the United States. The poll was conducted between January 2017 and March 2017, and has a margin of error of 6%.

Political Positions

Fiscal and budgetary issues

Scott pledged during his campaign for governor to order an independent audit of all Vermont agencies, departments and systems.[52] Scott has called for holding the line on any additional taxes and fees, and has pledged to veto any budget that grows faster than the growth rate of the underlying economy or wages in the previous year, if elected.[52][53] Scott has also expressed his intent to avoid using one-time funds to plug recurring budget deficits and to establish bonding practices that emphasize a longer-term outlook.[52] Scott supported changing the state's current one-year budget cycle into a two-year budget cycle in order to enhance long-term planning and management, while reducing budgeting costs.[54]

Economic development

Streamlining Business Permits

As a Vermont state senator, Scott introduced legislation to streamline the business permitting process in order to mitigate barriers to economic development. The legislation would have consolidated existing routes of permit appeals, simplified the district environmental commission permit review process, and made other miscellaneous changes to permitting law.[55] Scott also voted for similar legislation to consolidate permitting routes, streamline permit appeals, and make other changes to existing law with the intent of enhancing economic development.[56] This legislation was ultimately signed into law as Act 115 of 2003.[57]

Downtown Growth Incentives

Scott was a co-sponsor of bi-partisan legislation that intended to promote economic development in downtown areas by expanding economic incentives and benefits to town centers, and creating Act 250-exempt downtown zones.[58] Scott voted for similar legislation (which was implemented as part of Act 183 of 2006) to designate downtown growth centers and create a downtown tax credit program.[59][60]

Job Creation, Economic Incentives, and Demographics

Scott co-sponsored legislation that intended to stimulate job creation through expanding financing to small businesses, creating an income tax credit for certain capital investments in Vermont businesses, creating a partnership organization to invest funds in commercial and agricultural enterprises that enhance economic development, authorizing Vermont agencies to offer loans through agricultural and small business programs, creating a sales tax holiday for certain types of purchases, and enacting other miscellaneous economic development incentives.[61] Scott voted for similar legislation which passed (Act 67 of 2003) and also included a research and development tax credit, as well as a sustainable technology export tax credit.[62][63]

Scott voted to direct American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 resources toward the Vermont Entrepreneurs' Seed Capital Fund, the Vermont Economic Development Authority, the Job Start Loan Fund, the Agricultural Debt Consolidation Program, the Vermont Jobs Fund, the Micro-Business Development Program, and various other economic development related funds.[64][65] This proposal was ultimately enacted in Act 78 of 2010.[65] Scott has set a goal to boost the state's economy by increasing the state's population to 700,000 in 10 years, specifically in key working-age demographic groups.[66]

Economic Development Plan

As a candidate for Vermont governor, Scott released his "Comprehensive Blueprint for Economic Growth". The plan is divided into ten major sections: Protecting Jobs & Retaining Employers; Investing In & Expanding Vermont's Workforce; Affordable & Accessible Healthcare; Revitalizing County Economic Centers; Aggressive and Realistic Telecommunications & Broadband Expansion; Pro-Jobs Tax Policies; Affordable & High Quality Housing for Working Families; Responsible Regulatory Reform; Clean & Affordable Energy for Families and Businesses; and Aggressively Marketing Vermont.[67]

Health Care

In September 2016, Scott released his "Affordable & Accessible Healthcare" plan.[68] The plan advocates for a transition from Vermont Health Connect to a different exchange (either the federal exchange or a state partnership) and seeks to eliminate the small business mandate for enrolling in the health care exchange.[68] The plan also calls for reforming the Affordable Care Act to allow insurance companies to cross state lines, implementing a health care price transparency law in Vermont, transitioning from a fee-for-service payment system to an outcomes-based system, eliminating the legal necessity for defensive medicine, and rewarding Vermont individuals and businesses for healthy lifestyle choices.[68] In terms of Medicaid, the plan would seek to reduce Medicaid administrative costs, streamline the administration of benefits, and fight for a federal Medicaid safety net.[68] Finally, the plan calls for working with industry stakeholders to recruit and retain medical professionals.[68]

As a Vermont state senator, Scott voted for Act 191 of 2006, a comprehensive health care reform bill.[69] The legislation expanded access to health care by providing subsidies to uninsured Vermont residents to purchase private insurance on a sliding scale basis.[70][71] The act was also designed to cut health care costs through providing healthy lifestyle insurance discounts to those who participated in programs that improved wellness and prevented disease.[70][71] Within two years of the law's implementation, Vermont's uninsured rate declined by 25%.[71]

Education

Scott has called for modifying Act 46 to improve cost containment measures, incorporate property tax reduction, preserve local control and school choice, and allow communities to keep the funds that they save through school district mergers.[52] Scott has expressed support for flexible learning plans and the utilization of new technologies in the classroom in order to improve educational outcomes.[52] Scott has indicated that as governor he would increase investments in early education, job training, higher education, and technical education programs.[72]

As a state senator, Scott voted for legislation to reduce education property tax rates.[73][74]

Safe Communities Legislation

Scott was a co-sponsor of Act 83 of 2005 (also known as "The Safe Communities Act"), which increased the scope of stalking laws, increased penalties for stalking with a deadly weapon, designated and made information publicly available regarding high-risk sex offenders, authorized special investigation units for sex crimes, domestic abuse, and violent crimes, affirmed the right of law enforcement to engage in community notification if law enforcement believed a sex offender posed a risk to the community, and made publicly available certain pre-1996 sex offense convictions.[75][76] Scott also voted for Act 192 of 2006 (also known as "The Sexual Violence Prevention Act"), which increased penalties for sexual assault, as well as lewd and lascivious conduct with a child, expanded special investigation units which specialize in investigating sex crimes, increased public access to the sex offender registry, and made other miscellaneous changes to existing criminal law.[75][77] Scott voted for Act 58 of 2009, which expanded the sex offender registry and improved the prosecution of sex offenders.[78][79]

Government Reform and Modernization

Scott supports limiting the length of the annual Vermont legislative session to 90 days. According to Scott, the unpredictable and long length of the legislative session discourages everyday Vermonters from running for office.[54] A 90-day session, according to Scott, would encourage more individuals to run for elected office by setting clear parameters.[54] Furthermore, Scott states that a 90-day session would force the legislature to focus on key fiscal and operational issues.[54]

As governor, Scott plans to create a Government Modernization & Efficiency Team to implement efficiency audits, strengthen IT planning, implement a digital government strategy, and identify opportunities to eliminate inefficiencies, establish clear metrics and streamline services.[80]

Transportation

In July 2016, Scott outlined his transportation priorities that he would implement as Vermont governor.[81] Scott indicated that he would strengthen the link between economic growth and Vermont's infrastructure; oppose additional transportation taxes, including a carbon tax; oppose accumulating additional state debt for transportation; encourage innovation in transportation through implementing a Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit and an Angel Investor Tax Credit (a 60% credit toward cash equity investments in Vermont businesses, specifically targeted toward transportation, energy and manufacturing firms); protect the state's transportation fund to ensure it is used for transportation purposes only; advocate for federal reforms and flexibility in transportation policy; and update the Agency of Transportation's long-range plan for transportation.

Drug Addiction Policy

In August 2016, Scott released his 10-point opiate addiction plan, which covers prevention, treatment, and law enforcement.[82] The plan would expand community based-approaches (such as Rutland's Project VISION); establish a Director of Drug Abuse Prevention Policy; create an Opioid Coordination Council to implement opiate plans and facilitate integration within state government; hold an annual statewide summit on drug abuse prevention; require digital prescriptions from doctors in order to reduce prescription forgeries; fight for updated federal drug disposal regulations; provide law enforcement with more flexibility; expand treatment options and the number of licensed counselors; monitor expansion to Medication-Assisted Treatment Programs; and support in long term treatment programs.

Social Issues

Scott is pro-choice and supports the continued legalization of same-sex marriage.[83] On May 24, 2017, Scott vetoed a bill that would have legalized marijuana recreationally in Vermont.[84]

Personal life

Scott lives in Berlin, Vermont with his wife, Diana McTeague Scott, and has two adult children.[5]
