Outside Town residents challenge merger benefits
Bennington's Unification Study Committee faced hostile questions from 38 Outside Town residents at a Molly Stark School hearing about merging three village units and one fire district. The crowd pressed for police, water, zoning, and tax impacts, while officials argued for state police cooperation and preemptive patrols and noted water service would come with a 65 cent exemption for those not yet entitled to village water.
