MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Vermont Gov. Phil Scott is traveling to Quebec City for his first official meetings with his counterpart in Quebec, the state’s largest trading partner.
Scott’s schedule Wednesday includes meetings with Premier Philippe Couillard and multiple members of his cabinet, as well as business and industry groups in the province. The two are planning to hold a news conference at 3 p.m.
