THE PEOPLE'S GUIDE TO THE VERMONT LEGISLATURE
www.peoplesguidevt.org
The People's Guide to the Vermont Legislature is a half-hour program designed to encourage
Vermonters to participate in their government by making the legislative process easier to
understand. Viewers learn why the Legislature is so important, how it is structured, why committees are important, how bills can
become law and how to get involved. This show has appeared on WCAX -TV, WCFE-TV,
Vermont Public Television and many public access channels. The People's Guide won a
Boston/New England Regional Emmy Award in 2002 for Outstanding/Educational Instructional
Program. It is also being used in high schools throughout Vermont.
