This
has been a hard month for local government leaders in both
Burlington
and Montpelier
as two separate financial controversies came to the public’s attention: Burlington
Telecom and Scott Construction. In light of these recent events, Vermont
Edition will tackle questions of government transparency. Does good
government sometimes require secrecy or does the public always have the right
to know? Email your thoughts and questions to vermontedition@vpr.net
We’ll
also talk with Tig Tillinghast, board member of the Upper
Valley Medical Reserve Corps, and
then answer some of your letters and emails.
