2006 The Year in Review

The death penalty, the war in Iraq and an election year that saw unprecedented campaign spending are just a few of the issues Vermonters talked about in 2006. It was the year International Paper conducted a test burn of tires in Ticonderoga New York, over intense opposition from Vermont. The issues of illegal immigrant farm workers in the state made news. A controversial sentence for child abuse brought national attention to a Vermont judge, and the long quest for recognition for Vermont’s Abenaki Indians took a big step forward. Join host, Steve Delaney as we ponder these and other events of 2006.
