Legislator's Report on final week of Vermont legislature
The final week of the legislative session is described as frenzied with bills returning from the Senate amended, committees reconciling differences, and days filled with sessions totaling about 40 hours. Key actions include Proposal VIII on amending the Vermont Constitution advancing, a Senate-troubling 150 member House cap proposal evolving to Proposal X, and a roll call of 119 to 26. The process may lead to voter approval in Town Meeting 1974. The Supplemental Appropriation bill H 412 signals reluctance to billboard compensation, bonds for school construction and Industrial Building Authority, and a small grant to Morgen Horse Farm at Weybridge aided by Rep. Robert Graf. F487 grants state employee damages protection, while H 53 covers St. Albans Burlington prison repairs under Rep. Marshall Witter.
