GOP Legislative Leaders On Education Funding, Water Quality And Other Issues

Vermont Public | By Ric Cengeri,

Bob Kinzel

Published April 12, 2018 at 4:39 PM EDT

A dusting of snow on top of the golden dome of the Vermont Statehouse. — "Vermont Edition" hears from GOP Legislative leaders on some of the key issues that remain to be decided in the final weeks of the biennium.

The end of the Legislative session looms, but there is still time for movement on a number of key issues. We get input on education funding, financing clean water efforts, the state minimum wage and paid family leave from the Republican legislative leadership.
Don Turner, House minority leader from Milton, and Joe Benning, Senate minority leader from Lyndonville, look at these issues and assess the session so far.

Broadcast live on Friday, April 13, 2018 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
