Vermont's Progressive Party holds five seats in the House of Representatives, and major party status in the Fall 2010 elections.  VPR's Jane Lindholm talks with Rep. Sandy Hass and Rep. David Zuckerman about how their caucus wants to approach the $150 million gap in next year's state budget, and the future of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant. They also discuss how Progressives work to influence the politics of the Democratic majority and Republican minority at the Statehouse.
