Vermont Governor calls for more control over agencies
Governor Deane C. Davis told a state subcommittee that the governor’s office must have power to hire remove and appoint to improve efficiency. He urged advisory boards with policy power limited but sought appointment authority over education and highway leaders. The panel recommended keeping fish and game and highways separate with overhead costs allocated accordingly and eliminating many revolving funds. A separate notice confirms a $55 000 Orleans Vermont post office project awarded by the Post Office Department to be completed by June 1970 per Senator George D. Aiken’s office.
