A Lively Experiment, Thursday 12/31/09 and Sunday, 1/3/10

Happy New Year from the host, panelists, staff, and producers of A Lively Experiment! Thanks to all of the guests who appeared on the show in 2009.

State administration and legislators, as well as each of our 39 cities and towns, face many unresolved fiscal challenges. With important local races, a wide open field for all state offices and the General Assembly, and challengers vying for the two U.S. Congressional seats - all coming up this year - we look forward to an invigorating year of discussion and debate in 2010!

But for this last program of 2009, we take a look back:
