Governor Phil Scott today announced he appointed 106 individuals to State boards and commissions in January and February of 2023.
Among the reappointees are former legislators Rep. Don Turner (a Milton Republican and minority leader) and Sen. and Rep. David Deen, a longtime Connecticut River water quality advocate.
Current lawmaker Sara Coffey (D-Guilford) was appointed to the Aviation Advisory Council, and 2022 Senate candidate Paul Bean of Northfield to the Workforce Development Board.
Two scions of influential Rutland County families, John Casella II and John Bloomer Jr., were named to the District #1 Environmental Commission.
Boards and commissions serve an important role in state government, giving Vermonters numerous opportunities to serve their state and communities.
