How The Vermont Progressive Agenda Has Fared

VPR
The end of the current Legislative session nears with many of the top Progressive priorities stalled.

With just over a week to go before the end of the legislative session, it appears that many of the top Progressive priorities have stalled in Montpelier.
When the session opened in January, Vermont Progressives had high hopes for a number of issues, like income and  property tax reform, paid family leave and raising the state minimum wage.

We check in with Progressive State Senators Chris Pearson of Burlington and Anthony Pollina of Middlesex to discuss how the Progressive agenda fared.

Broadcast live on Friday, April 28, 2017 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
