Legislature Edits Bag Ban and Rights Vote in Vermont
Legislature advanced a plan banning nonreturnable beverage bottles by July 1973 to fund recycling centers and landfills, with a one mil container tax. Buckley sought a one year postponement. The House rejected a federal women’s rights amendment ratification, preferring a study of Vermont laws. Senate backed a reapportionment plan detaching Grand Isle from Chittenden County, provoking GOP criticism and possible court challenge. Jury instructions clarified conspiracy charges, allowing conviction for one or more acts and for a defendant to be guilty if colluding with others.
