The 2008 legislative year is underway and we are broadcasting live from
the Statehouse. Lawmakers from the Democratic Republican and Progressive
parties join us to discuss their top priorities for the year, and
whether those agendas will compliment each other or lead to
divisiveness. Our guests are Sen. John Campbell (D-Windsor), Sen. Kevin
Mullin (R-Rutland) and Rep. Chris Pearson (P-Burlington).
Plus, the
pathway of how a bill becomes a law may be familiar, but VPR’s Steve
Zind reports on why the intricacies of the process leave few bills
standing for a floor vote.
