More Heat Standards, More Taxes.

VT Senate Bill 5, a not-so-affordable heat act, is estimated to cost taxpayers at least $1.2 billion. This price tag equates to about a 70-cents per gallon tax on heating fuels. EVERYONE will pay and NO ONE will be spared, which means YOU will pay too. Join us for a free webinar on Tuesday, February 28th to learn more about the dangers of this bill and what you can do to help STOP it from passing.

This event is FREE for all NFIB members! However, advanced registration is required.
