What concerns do you have about reopening Vermont's economy amid the coronavirus crisis? Are we moving too fast, or too slow? We talk with the task force helping set the pace for Vermont's economic recovery.

Last Tuesday, Gov. Phil Scott and the Agency of Commerce and Community Development announced the creation of theEconomic Mitigation and Recovery Task Force. This hour, we will talk with leadership and team members about what they're doing to help move Vermonters and businesses toward reopening sectors of the economy.
