How It Works: A Guide To Vermont's Legislature

The Vermont State House in Montpelier, Vermont.

On Tuesday, Jan. 7, Vermont's legislature begins work on the second half of the biennium. But why do we have a biennium anyway? And how can civic-minded citizens keep up to date with what's happening in the State House?

On this Vermont Edition, host and reporter Bob Kinzel joins us as we take an in-depth look at the legislative process in Vermont. We also preview the 2020 session with capital bureau reporter Peter Hirschfeld. And we want to hear from you.
