Vermont will pay people $10,000 to move there and work remotely

Before you start packing your bags, note:

    Eligible workers can get up to $5,000
    a year, not to exceed $10,000 over two
    years ...

and

    For 2019, total grants cannot exceed
    $125,000. The cap increases in 2020
    to $250,000, then drops back down to
    $125,000 in 2021.

One can reasonably assume that the 25-75 people who will benefit from this were already determined before the bill was even written let alone signed.
