House Speaker Shap Smith spoke to reporters at the legislative kickoff in January. We're talking to Speaker Smith about his priorities for the final days of the session.

The 2016 legislation session is in its final days with a number of key issues yet to be decided. Issues like the legalization marijuana, the creation of an ethics commission, and an energy siting bill.

We’re talking with House Speaker Shap Smith about his top priorities for the rest of the session.

Also on the program, Middlebury professor emeritus of political science Eric Davis on Bernie Sanders' tough week, and the candidate's narrowing possibility of victory.

Broadcast live on Fri., April 29, 2016, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.

Bob Kinzel has been covering the Vermont Statehouse since 1981 — longer than any continuously serving member of the Legislature. With his wealth of institutional knowledge, he answers your questions on our series, "Ask Bob."
