The future of Vermont's state colleges

Vermont State Colleges Chancellor Robert Clarke has announced his retirement. Today on Vermont Edition, Clarke offers his assessment of the system and talks about the future of Vermont's five state colleges. Higher Education advocates have long called for greater state expenditures for the colleges and Clarke says Vermont is falling behind other states and risks losing young people to their college systems.

Plus, reporter Candace Page details some new contaminants in Vermont waterways--including caffeine, Tylenol, and antibiotics.

 

Also on the program - Vermont's landmark billboard law changed the roadside view forever. The law was largely the work of one man - Ted Riehle, who died on New Year's Eve, 2007. We'll look back at the billboard legislation that altered the landscape.
