Hoff vows ironclad push for higher state education aid
Gov elect Hoff insists on bold reforms to Vermont education funding, aiming to raise state aid flow to districts from 20 to 40 percent. He warns first benefits may not appear immediately as he pursues a balanced budget with no new taxes and seeks larger budget requests. He projects a $5 million two year cost for aid revisions. Public Service Commissioner Paterson explores Canadian power to Vermont to cut costs. He notes Quebec Hydro interest in supplying power by next year with pricing near current St. Lawrence Niagara energy imports.
