All About Taxes

At the Montpelier Statehouse, lawmakers are looking at changes to all kinds of taxes, including the education property tax, the income tax and a tax on health care premiums. All of these decisions flow through two committees: Senate Finance and House Ways and Means.

Friday on Vermont Edition, Bob Kinzel's guests are the chairs of those committees, Sen. Tim Ashe and Rep. Janet Ancel, to discuss what these tax debates could mean for Vermonters.

Also in the program, VPR's Pete Hirschfeld explains developments in the push to consolidate some school districts, and the Montpelier mayor's race that is heating up ahead of Town Meeting Day.

And we listen back to some of the voices in this week's news.

Broadcast live on Fri., Feb. 28 at 12 noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
