Gov. Jim Douglas is promising bold proposals in his fourth inaugural address, but is releasing few details so far.
Douglas is to speak to a joint assembly of the Legislature today at 2 p.m. He says the address will focus on the state’s fiscal issues more than most inaugural and state-of-the-state addresses do.
Vermont governors usually save their financial plans for a budget address two weeks after the inaugural or state-of-the-state address.
One hint Douglas is dropping: He’s likely to try to boost revenues through higher motor vehicle fees.
