Ruling On Solons Terms Due In Vermont Reapportionment Case
U S Circuit Judge Waterman said a three judge panel will rule late this week on a bid to extend lawmakers terms beyond July 1. Barre attorney Donald Milne filed the petition after a 1965 session resolution, not signed by Gov Hoff, asking the Supreme Court to waive the term end and allow a full two year tenure. The state opposes the move, noting Milne sought Supreme Court review but filed it with the federal panel.

Connarn critiques Vermont plan on license suspensions
Atty. Gen. John Connarn says part of the new motor vehicle safety program violates Vermont statutes. The plan allows the Motor Vehicles Commissioner to suspend licenses after hearings or warnings, with five days notice for hearings, and potentially 15 day suspensions for foolish driving. Gov. Hoff supports the plan, which could evolve into a point system. Vermont reports 95 road deaths this year versus 131 at the same time last year.
