Guard deployments call for sacrifices from employers, too

The biggest deployment of the Vermont National Guard since World War II will mean challenges for employers and the workplaces the soldiers leave behind. We discuss the rights, responsibilities and concerns on both sides. Plus, Candy Page on the coming of Spring and a post script to our program on community planning.

Legislative Priorities

When the Legislature convened in January, we talked with leaders from all three of Vermont’s major parties about their hopes and expectations for the 2008 session. Now, with the session at an end, we check back in to see how it all worked out. Also, Candace Page talks about citizen science, and we hear the first in our series My Vermont — essays by our listeners on life in the Green Mountain State.
