Statement from Johanna Miller, VNRC energy & climate program director, on the Technical Advisory Group of the Vermont Climate Action Commission:

“The Executive Order makes crystal clear that the Commission is charged with convening the Technical Advisory Group. The Commission hasn’t even met yet. The Scott Administration naming chairs, without a Commission conversation about the charge of the TAG, as well as the credible experts that should comprise it, no less chair it, calls into question the independence, transparency and, ultimately, the integrity of the Commission. It’s disappointing and disturbing. We asked for this Commission, and we want it to succeed. Without a fresh start – revisiting this preemptive decision at the first Commission meeting – I fear it’s destined for failure. We’re not interested in political games. We’re interested in good process and real progress. I hope we can get there. Time will tell.”
