Vermont Governor Phil Scott, a Republican, has vetoed a bill that would have established a pilot overdose prevention center in Burlington, the state’s largest city. The center would have included a safe injection site where people could use narcotics under the supervision of trained staff and receive treatment if they overdose. The legislation, supported by the Democratic-controlled Legislature, aimed to allocate $1.1 million for the project. However, Governor Scott expressed concerns about diverting funds from proven prevention and recovery strategies.
