Vermont’s return-to-office blunder is costing the state millions

Gov. Phil Scott’s return-to-office order was sold as a commonsense push for collaboration and better service. It has instead become a case study in how political theater can collide with labor law,…

I'm looking forward to continuing my service to the Chittenden 15 House district. My full reelection announcement can be found here. www.troyheadrick.com/2026/04/13/m...

The Yield Bill passed out of the House tonight, setting the stage for your property tax rates. There’s a lot of messaging around this bill, especially heading into an election year. I’ve put together a clear explanation of what’s actually happening behind the numbers.

I was disappointed to have H. 205 referred back to committee rather than allowing my amendment, which would have extended the protections within the bill to teachers, to reach the floor for debate. More details at my blog: www.troyheadrick.com/2026/03/14/w...

I have posted my 2026 Town Meeting Week Report. I hope you'll take a look and reach out with any questions or concerns. Thank you.

An ethics complaint was filed against me in response to my critique of VT’s Abenaki recognition process. The House Ethics Panel closed it without a hearing. No wrongdoing. I’m sharing all docs and discuss why these weaponized tactics matter as City Council debates what replaces the Graylock statue.

Who decides when our National Guard is deployed? In light of recent National Guard deployments and growing questions about how those decisions are made, I’ve written a blog post explaining H.355 — a bill I introduced to add transparency and accountability to the federalization process.

The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

Vermont just shipped two more bus loads of incarcerated men to a for-profit prison in Mississippi. Governor Scott and his lead counsel are now calling prison a place for “healing”. This is a dangerous shift and it’s no accident. More detailed thoughts: www.troyheadrick.com/2025/11/06/e...

Grateful to CBC Radio for their continued commitment to discussion on the appropriation of Abenaki identity by Vermont groups. I'm still equally committed to convincing my legislative colleagues to spend time understanding the mistakes our predecessors made in granting state recognition.

We must stop excluding the undisputed descendants of the original keepers of this land when we make decisions that impact them. The United Nations Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples is crystal clear on this. vtdigger.org/2025/07/29/p...

Plans to replace Burlington monument bring controversy over state-recognized tribes to Queen City leaders - VTDigger

The Abenaki Nation at Missisquoi commissioned a new sculpture to replace a monument to a historic Abenaki chief, but the plan has drawn opposition from a state legislator in Burlington.

Outstanding thread on the weaponization of collegiality that is being utilized within SCOTUS.

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky. So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵

What an amazing group of contenders! Looking forward to sitting back for the rest of the competition and enjoying the parade of majestic beards. www.wcax.com/2025/07/04/v...

My immediate thoughts on the most monstrous, immoral piece of legislation I’ve ever voted on in the Senate. But I’m not done fighting. I know you aren’t either.

Rarely has MAGA policy been so clearly articulated. Denying sick Americans healthcare doesn’t matter as long as their masked, racist security force gets funding - By Order of the Vice President.

The National Park Service is already underfunded and understaffed. To put its budget on the chopping block as we continue to see a rise in visitors at parks across the county is reckless and thoughtless. It's the worst idea for "America's Best Idea."

Can’t make this shit up.

Maine and New Hampshire both look to Vermont as an example of what NOT to do with regard to a state recognition process for self-identified Abenaki. #vtpoli vtdigger.org/2025/06/18/t...

The vote on Vermont’s biggest education bill was called before anyone could speak. The speed by which a voice vote was called caught many legislators off guard. No debate. No roll call. Here is my open letter to leadership explaining why that moment demands accountability.
