VPR File
Time is running out for legislators in Montpelier to get bills passed before the end of the current session.

Earlier this week on Vermont Edition, we heard what's happening in the Vermont House as this legislative session nears an end. Now, Senate President Pro Tem Tim Ashe joins us to provide an update on what movement we'll see in the Senate in the session's waning days.

Sen. Ashe discusses what's happening on key pieces of legislation, including raising the minimum wage, paid family leave, a tax-and-regulate marijuana bill and a long-term funding source for water quality projects.

Broadcast live on Friday, May 3, 2019 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.

Ric was a producer for Vermont Edition and host of the VPR Cafe.
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."
