What if you could decide what stories Vermont Public should be covering, 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.
