Snelling pledges adequate school financing for Vermont
Vermont gubernatorial candidate Richard Snelling told the Vermont Education Association he would make adequate funding for education the top priority if elected. He urged state help to reach 50 percent of school construction costs and 40 percent of operating budgets, and proposed using a state surplus to reduce local bond indebtedness. He also called for a 3 percent sales tax whose proceeds fund cities and towns, department of education reform, area business service centers, and stronger vocational and guidance programs, while balancing university and state college budgets.
