Wed 6/05/13Noon & 7 pm Three years ago, NeighborWorks of Western Vermont won a $4.5 million dollar grant as a part of the Federal stimulus package. They promised to improve the energy efficiency of 40 percent of the homes in Rutland County. Energy efficiency was one of the Governor's big goals in his budget this year too, but his plan for funding retrofits never made it through the legislature.
We'll talk to LudyBiddle, director of NeighborWorks of Western Vermont, and to Jim Merriam, director of Efficiency Vermont, about the energy efficiency programs available in the state: how they work, and how they're funded.
If you have comments or questions about energy efficiency, leave them here, or email vermontedition@vpr.net
We'll also hear from Allen Gilbert, Executive Director of ACLU Vermont, about a new report they've just released on racial profiling in Vermont.
And we'll hear about the burgeoning arts district in the South End of Burlington.
