This hour, Vermont Edition hears from political reporters on the biggest bills in the Statehouse this year.

Abortion care, greenhouse gas emissions, and gun laws. These are just some of the major issues Vermont lawmakers have been working to address this legislative session.

This hour, we look at what new laws are now in place and what’s been left on the cutting room floor.

Our guests:

  • Calvin Cutler, political reporter at WCAX
  • Lola Duffort, political reporter at VTDigger
  • Peter Hirschfeld, political reporter at Vermont Public

Broadcast at noon Monday, May 15, 2023; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
