Davis Outlines Vermont Budget Surplus Plan for 1970
Gov. Deane C. Davis projects a $7 million general fund surplus for 1970 but will seek to spend half before collection. He rejects higher projections and proposes three uses: across the board $900,000 to $1 million pay raises for 5,200 state workers, $1.3 million in supplemental department spending, and $1.3 million for a Vietnam veteran bonus of $120 per Vermonter. He contemplates for ETV a $20,000 emergency loan to cover January–February and a 1971 budget of $500,000 with nighttime programming included, pending legislative action.

State Aid Formula Up to 41 Percent But Many Schools To Get Less
Vermont school districts faced confusion as state aid to education was set at 41 percent yet many districts will receive less than promised in 1968. Checks totaling nearly 25 million for 253 districts were held pending an Attorney General opinion on proper calculation. Burlington will lose 371,000 and Rutland’s aid is down from 1968, with St. Albans losing 65,000 after tax crises and emergency funding. Officials warn of layoffs and freezes as districts adjust to revised figures. Gov Davis blamed final amendments for upsetting the formula and vowed to restore funds as needed.
