This Week's Issue: Welcome to Fabulous Newport ... Vermont!
Here's what's news in this week's print edition of your friendly neighborhood weekly, Seven Days:
- For our cover story, Megan James and Corin Hirsch spent 36 hours in Newport ... Vermont, a city on the brink of something big.
- Burlington is holding hostage the liquor licenses of several businesses, including Bove's Restaurant, to force them to address code violations and unpaid taxes.
- Many of Vermont's undocumented farmworkers live in substandard housing without much notice from the outside world. But one Vermont town is fighting a farm to improve housing conditions for Latino laborers.
- As Washington considers federal immigration reform, a Burlington lawyer has taken the helm of a national organization that could influence the debate.
- And in Fair Game, Paul Heintz presses Sen. Patrick Leahy on whether Egypt's military takeover is a "coup", and whether that means the U.S. must yank foreign aid to that county. Plus, how the F-35 is splitting South Burlington, and the Burlington Free Press hires a new, younger staff.
