2007 Year in Review: Potpourri

In every collection of the year’s top stories, some fit neatly into categories. This is about politics, that’s a weather story. Others just won’t slide neatly into pigeon-holes. VPR’s Steve Delaney reports on some of these stories for our 2007 Year in Review.

2007 Year in Review: Politics

2007 Year in Review: Weather

In Vermont, the weather is frequently the news. It makes or breaks growing seasons on the farms and ski season on the slopes. Or, as Steve Delaney reports in this part of our series on the top stories of 2007, sometimes Mother Nature just gets cranky.

2007 Year in Review: Culture

The fabric of life in Vermont has a different weave every year. In 2007 it was full of variety. On the lighter side, the state became the official home of The Simpsons. And weightier social topics had our attention, especially when it came to one marijuana case in Windsor County. VPR’s Steve Delaney has more in the second part of our year in review.
