Every year, the Vermont-based Public Assets Institute issues a report on the economic wellbeing of Vermonters. We discuss the 2025 report with Steph Yu, the Public Assets Institute’s executive director, and Julie Lowell, their economic security and outreach director.
This show also included a conversation about federal funding for rural health care transformation with Owen Foster, the chair of the Green Mountain Care Board.
