TW3, "That Was The Week That Was", plans a special hour-long TV production on Thursday, Dec. 20, that will review the history and possible future of education funding in Vermont by two of the legislators who were there when much of this happened.
According to Ralph Pace, co-anchor of TW3 with Leo Graham, "This will be a special program to place the current state educational funding policies in some perspective. It may not satisfy current tax-payers but it will certainly give them some idea as to how we reached this point."
He noted that John Murphy of Ludlow, who represented that town in the state legislature before Act 60, and Michael Obuchowski, current chair of the House Ways and Means committee, and a member of the house during the Act 60/68 legislation, will provide both the historical back drop of education-based taxation legislation as well as what alternatives are currently on the legislative table in Montpelier.
The program will be broadcast live from LPC studios in Ludlow from 5 to 6 pm. Pace said that the program will accept phone calls during the live broadcast, at 802-228-8807. For those unable to view the live broadcast, the program will be rebroadcast throughout the remainder of the month. Viewer questions and comments may also be sent to [email protected].
