The legislature is nearing its Town Meeting Day break. At this halfway mark, we're talking to top political reporters on the status of key bills, including gun control, education financing, paid family leave, raising the minimum wage and water quality efforts.

We're joined by Alicia Freese of Seven Days, April McCullum of the Burlington Free Press and VPR's Peter Hirschfeld.
