Green resigns as head of Council on Aging in Vermont
Stephen J. Green resigns as executive secretary of the Vermont Council on the Aging to take a provisional post as Chief of Manpower Support Services for the Department of Employment Security twin program. His move ends a political fight within the Davis administration sparked by a $60,000 elder study showing $32 million in benefits unobtained by seniors. Green, 31, described the switch as a substantially upgraded role with duties best handled by a new person. He doubts his credibility would have been preserved in the previous post.
