Progressive Legislative Roundup

VPR/Peter Hirschfeld
House Progressive Caucus leader Representative Chris Pearson.

When the 2014 legislative session started, leaders in the Progressive Party were expressing concern with some of the policies of Governor Shumlin. How do they feel about the Governor now as the session winds down?

We’ll talk with the House Progressive Caucus leader, Burlington Representative Chris Pearson, and with Enosburg Representative Cindy Weed and Senator David Zuckerman about the progressive legislative priorities for the end of the session.

We'll also hear from VPR contributor Hamilton Davis about the "Plan B" alternative to Governor Shumlin's single payer health care reform.

Broadcast live on Friday, April 18th 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."
