This has been a hard month for local government leaders in both Burlington and Montpelier as two separate financial controversies came to the public's attention: Burlington Telecom and Scott Construction.

Email your thoughts and questions to vermontedition@vpr.net

We'll also talk with Tig Tillinghast, board member of the Upper Valley Medical Reserve Corps, and then answer some of your letters and emails.
