Television news anchor Marselis Parsons retires this week from WCAX-TV. He discusses the changes in jurnalism over his 42 years on the air. Also, Sen. Patrick Leahy talks with VPR’s Bob Kinzel about the role of anti-trust laws in the health insurance industry.
One
of Vermont’s best known news broadcasters plans to retire at the
end of the summer. WCAX’s
Marselis Parsons will step down as news director at Channel Three in June. And
he’ll sign off as anchor of the evening news a few months later.
The
state’s Transportation Fund is running a deficit. Vermont’s roads and bridges need urgent repair, and some
large highway projects remain unfinished. The major gubernatorial candidates have clear differences in transportation
priorities – and how to pay for the work.
VPR’s
John Dillon reports.
The
man charged with killing two people and wounding two others during a 2006
school shooting, is suing two media outlets, a police department, the state and
the hospital that treated him.
