Shownotes

May 7, 2021 (pre-recorded 5/3): The House has approved a potential charter change that would allow 16 & 17 year olds to vote in local elections. But what are Town Charters and why do they matter in Vermont? Also, Rep. Emilie Kornheiser updates us on what's happening with education funding.

You can also listen to the previous interviews with Brattleboro Town Manager Peter Elwell on local governance and The Pupil Weighting Study with UVM Researcher Tammy Kolbe that Olga and Emilie reference.
