He notes he already spent 75000 of his own money this year and calls for financial disclosure rules for lawmakers.

State Seeks New Trial In Deer Case
Assistant Atty. General Alan Cheever will ask Vermont Supreme Court to order a new trial for Dr. James M. Ballou of Keene New Hampshire. Ballou was acquitted in Addison District Court on a deer possession charge. Cheever argues aiding in a crime makes Ballou the principal and cites an alleged admission. The case centers on two companions who testified after immunity promises, with one not prosecuted.
