  • WHEREAS, the Governor has the power under 3 V.S.A., chapter 41 to effect change in
    the organization of the executive branch by means of Executive Order, and WHEREAS, various Governors over the years have used Executive Orders to establish

    superseded by similar statutory bodies, or have otherwise ceased to serve the purpose
    for which they were established, and WHEREAS, an attorney general’s opinion has determined that Executive Orders continue
    in effect indefinitely unless limited in duration by their own terms or because they
