Shumlin tried and found it wasn't feasible. Vermont already has some of the highest taxes in the nation. They can't raise them by this much and expect to have a functioning economy.

Yeah, in fairness it seems really hard to implement such a big program at the State level, because when taxes get high it's ridiculously easy for the wealthy to register in another State. Can't say I'm not disappointed, but I can't entirely fault Shumlin either.
