Do-little session ends after feuding in Vermont
The 1974 Vermont General Assembly adjourned at 1:55 a.m. after four extra days of wrangling over bills including a 208 million omnibus request. Key clash involved Rep. Lew Kedroff and Sen. Russell Niquette over public access to documents, ending with Burgess’s bill succeeding. The session approved pay hikes for state workers and officials, a 16.3 million capital construction plan, new welfare and labor measures, and reapportionment of the House. Pownal joins Bennington and Woodford in a six-member district.
