Summary

Alison Despathy rejoins the show to break down the debate around the clean heat standard, the bait and switch solution from the Majority, and why Vermonters need to stay vigilant. John Vick, Executive Director for Concerned Veterans for America, discusses the importance of Memorial Day, supporting veterans, CVA's Vets on the Hill event in DC, and why more veterans need to speak up in the political process. AJ Kierstead, host of the New England Take Podcast, breaks down the recent electoral losses of incumbent federal elected officials and what it means for the culture of DC going forward. Clara Morrison, Executive Director for Right for Vermont Foundation, updates listeners on the legislature’s solutions to education reform, childcare licensing, and why Vermonters demands have not been met by the majority.
