What if you could decide what stories Vermont Public covers before they're even assigned?

That's the idea behind Brave Little State. You ask the questions, you decide what we investigate, and then you work with us to find the answers.

Tell us: What question do you have about Vermont, our region or its people that you want us to explore? Submit it below, or leave us a short voicemail at 802-552-4880.
