Mt Anthony budget faced tough questions at finance meeting
Mt Anthony Union finance committee examined the largest budget increases for 1977-78 and could not answer all questions.

Senate unsettled energy bill debate in Vermont Legislature
The Vermont Senate advanced an unemployment tax raise to fund a 44 million deficit and approved a nuclear waste storage bill with a drafting error that could trigger a court challenge. The panel also pushed through a 181 million fiscal 1978 appropriation, while tensions rose with the House over the error and potential amendments. House Speaker O'Connor criticized the Senate for lacking consultation before deciding not to fix the drafting flaw. The broader session included local notices on blood drives, head start programs, nursery education, and community meetings.
