FOLA Sponsors healthcare panel October 20

With all the talk coming out of Montpelier (and, now, everywhere in Vermont), FOLA (Friends of Ludlow Auditorium) has decided that it's time to have a public forum where all sides to the debate may be heard.


Consequently, FOLA has set aside Thursday, October 20 as the date when the public will have an opportunity to 1, have the precise nature of the legislation passed by the recent session of the legislature explained in simple, layman's terms - terms that are agreed to by both sides of the debate, 2, have a moderated discussion about the legislation, its implications, and costs, and 3, give the public a chance to ask direct questions to a panel involved in the process.


Kristin Carlson, Senior Political Reporter for WCAX, will moderate the discussion. The panel will consist of statewide people either directly involved in the creation of the legislation or in opposition to some, if not all, of the resulting legislation. The panel will be evenly divided in this respect. For more information about the forum, which will be held in the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium, call 802-228-7239.

The Rutland Herald will cosponsor the event with FOLA.
