Despite their small caucus, the
Progressives in the state Legislature want to make an impact on how the state closes the $176
million budget deficit. They oppose cuts to Agency
of Human Services programs that help vulnerable Vermonters, and they
argue that wealthy Vermonters should pay more in taxes to close the
budget gap. Host Bob Kinzel talks with caucus leader Rep. Chris Pearson
and state Sen. Anthony Pollina about the budget priorities of the
Progressive caucus, how they stand on other key issues being debated at
the Statehouse.
