Governor Peter Shumlin on his way into the House chamber to give the address.

Vermont’s legislative session began this week. Governor Peter Shumlin delivered his State of the State speech, and now lawmakers are beginning the work it’ll take to check off items on a long to-do list. For a look at the coming legislative session we turn to VPR’s Bob Kinzel, who will join us on Saturday mornings for a close look at the goings-on in Montpelier.
 

Bob Kinzel has been covering the Vermont Statehouse since 1981 — longer than any continuously serving member of the Legislature. With his wealth of institutional knowledge, he answers your questions on our series, "Ask Bob."
Peter was a Producer/Announcer at VPR until 2015. He began his public radio career in 2007 at WHQR-FM in Wilmington, North Carolina where he served as Morning Edition host and reporter, covering county government and Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base. His work has won several Associated Press awards and has appeared on NPR's All Things Considered, Weekend Edition, and PRI's This American Life. A graduate of the creative writing program at the University of Maine at Farmington, Peter enjoys writing, cooking and traveling.
