Health Care: Johnson Health will move to a larger space at Vermont State University’s Johnson campus in January, expanding substance-use treatment and primary care in Lamoille County. Vermont is also slated to receive nearly $190 million in federal rural-health funding for 2027. Cost of Living: More than 5,000 Vermonters have lost SNAP benefits, while home-heating oil costs about $2.50 more per gallon than last year. New England governors are seeking $3 billion in emergency aid to ease winter heating costs. Housing and Homelessness: Vermont’s latest count shows a slight statewide decline in homelessness, but Chittenden County saw an increase, and advocates say the tally likely misses people. Burlington’s downtown office vacancy rate remains above pre-pandemic levels. Workforce: A new report finds Vermont women working full time earn a median $6,800 less annually than men, with occupational segregation and parenthood contributing to the gap. Politics: Lt. Gov.-elect Molly Gray wants to revive community listening sessions and advance universal primary care. Sen. Bernie Sanders says he won’t back Chuck Schumer for Democratic leader. Sports: Oregon beat Vermont women’s basketball 81-56.
