Vermont Governor Douglas Meets With Obama
Vermont is a small state, sometimes so small it gets lost in the shuffle.
Monday morning Vermont Governor Jim Douglas will sit down with President Obama for a one-on-one meeting in the oval office.
Douglas is scheduled to speak with the President about the Federal Economic Recovery Package at 11 o’clock. The Governor is expected to stress the importance of this package as states struggle to balance budgets and the need for greater flexibility so that Governors and state leaders can determine how to best use the funds.
Governor Douglas is also scheduled to meet with Vermont’s Congressional Delegation. The Senate is expected to start debate on the bill Monday.
