Democrats Propose Alternate Tax Plan in Vermont Senate
Senate Democrats unveiled a 17.8 million dollar tax package in Montpelier led by Minority Leader Charles Delaney.

It also proposes other targeted levies while criticizing a proposed sales tax for high administration costs and greater impact on lower income families. The Finance Committee weighs House backed 3 percent general sales tax to fund a 96 million dollar budget for fiscal 1970.
