Historical Look Back at the Vermont Legislature
As the first day of the 2008 legislative session gets underway, we broadcast live from the statehouse. From policies on energy and healthcare, to budgets for transportation and corrections, VPR's Bob Kinzel outlines the issues that are expected to top lawmakers' agendas this session.
Then, we look back at how past sessions have shaped the history of our state. Vermont State Archivist Greg Sanford and longtime reporter and news analyst Chris Graff join us to examine the legislative issues that have recurred through the decades, and to reflect on monumental shifts, from the 1965 reapportionment of the House to the rise of the Democratic party.
And, a look at how the city of Montpelier gears up for the start of the session, and the influx of lawmakers in town.
