Bob Kinzel and his guests discuss the Highway Safety Bill that’s being debated in the State House. Plus, analysis of the historic week in the legislature with VPR’s John Dillon and Ross Sneyd.
According to the Vermont League of Cities and Towns,

Environmentalists have added a new item to their list of concerns about the proposed
Circumferential
Highway in Chittenden County.
They
say the new road project will contribute to climate change. And they argue that
the Douglas Administration has failed to address the issue.
