Shaftsbury voters rescinded a 289 to 121 decision to withdraw from Mt. Anthony Union School District, restoring Shaftsbury’s two representatives on the union board.

Hoff pushes federal court to mean business on reapportionment
Vermont Governor Philip Hoff told editors and broadcasters that federal courts mean business on legislative redraw. A three judge panel ruled Vermont's legislature is grossly malapportioned and gave lawmakers until next April 1 to rebalance. Hoff favors a blue ribbon plan cutting the House from 246 to 164 members while adjusting Senate seats to keep rural representation, with Grand Isle and Essex losing a seat and Chittenden and Rutland gaining one each. The plan, to be released after Friday’s panel meetings, aims to align with one man one vote.
