In news from the Vermont capital Montpelier, three people were arrested Monday at the end of a three-day protest against a natural gas pipeline. Hundreds of Vermonters descended on the state Capitol over the weekend, and a smaller number blockaded the Department of Public Service building for two days. Rising Tide Vermont has called on the department to revoke approval of a pipeline that will carry gas extracted through hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking.” Vermont banned fracking three years ago amid health and environmental concerns.
