Joining the reporter roundtable are:
- Anne Wallace Allen, business editor at VTDigger
- Paul Heintz with Seven Days

The reporters will also discuss developments in the 2020 Democratic primary presidential race, including recent criticism of Sen. Bernie Sanders from two former Vermont governors and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
