From the City of Burlington:

The Great Streets Initiative is a culmination of many years of planning and project development, including the public vote in March of 2015 to use the City’s downtown TIF district to make new investments in the downtown’s public infrastructure, to ensure that Burlington residents have a downtown that is a vibrant, walkable, and sustainable urban center.

Through this initiative, we advance several key projects envisioned by plans such as Imagine City Hall Park, planBTV Downtown and Waterfront Master Plan, and the Transportation Plan.

From Mark Hughes:

In 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. constitution, the second reconstruction amendment, was created to provide citizenship, equal protection, due process, and certain privileges and immunities for the formerly enslaved. Over the past 155 years the Equal Protection Clause has faced backlash and resistance and has scarcely fulfilled its promise of equal protection to us Black folks. Now the Equal Protection Clause is being turned against us, challenging corrective and reparative economic policies designed to correct what government policies have caused. Is this Backwards Day?

It is the state's responsibility to protect us where the federal government won't. We must amend the constitution to make it so. Let's run a sanity check on this with a legal perspective. Peter, where you at?

Host Rev. Mark Hughes, Executive Director of the Vermont Racial Justice Alliance, chats with Peter Teachout, a Professor of Law, Constitutional Law, at Vermont Law School.
