Act 60 (amended as Act 68) is an education financing law that has been called Vermont’s Titanic because it is slowly but surely sinking the state into icy waters of unanchored education spending. In this episode, we examine the history of the controversial law, and three unexpected consequences that have followed as a result of its implementation.
