Vermont: 3 People Arrested After 3-Day Protest over Gas Pipeline 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
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. (Video credit: Ned Mc Eleney)
