Progressive Gubernatorial Candidate Anthony Pollina



Longtime Progressive activist Anthony Pollina is running for Governor of Vermont. He faces an admittedly tough battle to unseat Governor Jim Douglas, a popular three-term Republican incumbent. Now that Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington has also entered the race, a heated three-way battle is shaping up for 2008. We talk with Pollina about his campaign, why he wants the job and why he believes his background as an organizer qualifies him to do it.

Also on the program, host Jane Lindholm visits the historic laboratory in Saranac Lake where E.L. Trudeau pursued his pioneering research on tuberculosis. Trudeau is being honored with a special postage stamp, part of the ‘Distinguished Americans’ series.

And we take a trip to the Robert Frost Stone House Museum in Shaftsbury, where Frost lived with his family and where he wrote "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."
