Kennedy rules out governor run in 1972 by Kennedy
UPI reports Vermont House Speaker Walter L. Kennedy of Chelsea rules out a gubernatorial bid in 1972 and plans to seek a second term as House Speaker. He had left the door open before, but a governor bid or lieutenant governor run would sidetrack him. He also notes Lt. Gov. Burgess as a potential hopeful if Gov. Davis steps down, though primary prospects look doubtful. Kennedy expects John Grenier to stay as majority leader for one year. In Philadelphia, SEPTA drivers strike after wage talks fail.
