VT Edition: Peter Welch on climate change

As a new member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Peter Welch is tasked with helping craft legislation. Committee Chair Henry Waxman has said he wants significant legislation to move out of the committee by Memorial Day. Welch is hosting a Vermont roundtable discussion with Vermonters representing a diverse set of viewpoints on this subject, and he’s hoping to take those ideas back with him to Washington. He spoke with VPR’s Jane Lindholm about the task ahead.
