MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Republican Governor-elect Phil Scott has announced more appointments to state agencies and departments.

He said Tuesday that he has appointed former deputy agriculture secretary Anson Tebbetts to be secretary of the Agency of Agriculture and Rep. Alyson Eastman to serve as deputy secretary. He says he picked them because they are the strong management team “the agency needs to strengthen Vermont’s agricultural economy and help farms of all types and sizes succeed.”

Scott also announced that he named emergency management director Joe Flynn to be secretary of the Agency of Transportation. And Cory Gustafson will serve as commissioner of the Department of Vermont Access.
