Montpelier, VT – Vermont activists and lawmakers are planning a busy week at the Vermont Statehouse, with events designed to push their agendas. WAMC's Pat Bradley reports...

On Tuesday, Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell will be unveiling a report of a task force that's been looking into issues of property law raised by Tropical Storm Irene.

Also on Tuesday, supporters of using a "genuine progress indicator," which combines a range of measures about social well-being in place of more traditional economic indicators, will hold a news conference to talk up their agenda. The group is also promoting the idea of a state bank.

And on Wednesday, critics of the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United decision are planning a midday event to demand that it be reversed.
