The Green Mountain Care Board, created by the Vermont Legislature in 2011, is working to ensure that our health care system provides quality, affordable health care to all Vermonters while reducing waste and controlling costs. The Legislature assigned the GMCB three main responsibilities: regulation, innovation, and evaluation. The GMCB regulates not only health insurance rates, but also hospital budgets, Accountable Care Organizations, and major capital expenditures. The Board also innovates, testing new ways to pay for and deliver health care as part of its role in building a new system. Finally, the Board evaluates innovation projects, proposals for what benefits should be included in Vermont`s new health system, proposals for funding the new system, and the effect of the new system on Vermont`s economy. Throughout all of the Board`s work, the Board consistently works closely with Vermont health care providers and health care consumers to enhance health system transparency and consumer involvement.
It is our goal to ensure the Governor’s Mansion is preserved and remain historically accurate. In 2011 the Mansion Preservation Act created an authority responsible for maintaining and restoring the 107 year old house to reflect its original heritage.

New Haven is governed via the mayor-council system. Connecticut municipalities (like those of neighboring states Massachusetts and Rhode Island) provide nearly all local services (such as fire and rescue, education, snow removal, etc.), as county government has been abolished since 1960. New Haven County merely refers to a grouping of towns and a judicial district, not a governmental entity. New Haven is a member of the South Central Connecticut Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG), a regional agency created to facilitate coordination between area municipal governments and state and federal agencies, in the absence of county government. John DeStefano, Jr., the current mayor of New Haven, has served nine consecutive terms and was re-elected for a record tenth term in November 2011. Mayor DeStefano has focused his tenure on improving education and public safety, as well as on economic development. Notable initiatives include the Livable City Initiative, begun in 1996, which promotes home ownership and removes blight. In 1995, DeStefano launched a 15-year, $1.5 billion School Construction Program, already half finished, to replace or renovate every New Haven public school. In 2010 DeStefano began the ambitious job of undertaking school reform efforts - which led to the NY Times referring to New Haven as "ground zero" for school reform.
In 1970, concerned parents, family members and business leaders in Spokane organized the Pre-Vocational Training Center to provide services to Spokane-area adults with developmental, physical and mental disabilities. In 2004, the company name was changed to Skils`kin, a Native American word that means "a place where a person goes to seek personal identity and self-empowerment." Skils`kin is a community-based, not-for-profit agency. Working with national and local businesses, we are able to assist people with a wide variety of disabilities to become more self-reliant and economically self-sufficient.
