SUMMARY:Twin States\, Different Paths: The Politics of New Hampshire and Ve
 rmont
DESCRIPTION:Twin States\, Different Paths: The Politics of New Hampshire an
 d Vermont In-Person / Online\n\n\nJoin us for an engaging talk by author B
 rian L. Porto as he explores why New Hampshire and Vermont\, two neighbors
  separated only by the Connecticut River\, have developed such strikingly 
 different attitudes toward government and community. Drawing on his book T
 win States\, Different Paths: The Politics of New Hampshire and Vermont\, 
 Porto traces these contrasting political cultures back to the land itself\
 , from the geology and geography that shaped early settlement to the civic
  philosophies that followed. He’ll look at how these traditions shape ea
 ch state’s approach to current issues such as affordable housing and pub
 lic-school funding. Whether you’re a history buff\, a policy follower\, 
 or simply curious about life on either side of the river\, this accessible
  and balanced discussion offers something for everyone. A Q&amp\;A will fo
 llow.\n\nBrian L. Porto is a professor emeritus at Vermont Law and Graduat
 e School.  He holds a J.D. from Indiana University-Bloomington and a Ph.D
 . in Political Science from Miami University (Ohio).   He has worked as a
 n attorney in state government and private practice and has taught politic
 al science at Macalester College (MN) and Norwich University (VT).  His c
 urrent book\, Twin States\, Different Paths: The Politics of New Hampshire
  and Vermont\, compares the political cultures of those two states\, trace
 s their development\, and discusses their influence on current policy deci
 sions. His five previous books cover topics ranging from the American lega
 l system to the governance of college sports\, to the use of classical rhe
 toric in U.S. Supreme Court opinions. When not writing\, he walks in the w
 oods of New Hampshire and Vermont as much as possible with his wife\, Sher
 rie Greeley\, with whom he lives in Windsor\, VT.\n\nThis event is free an
