Hoff ok on Swanton track plans amid reapportionment delay
Gov. Philip H. Hoff said reapportionment delays hinder his Vermont reform agenda but will not derail it.

Hoff backed Racing Commissioner Fred Davis and signaled bills for the 1966 legislature, though he avoided a full program due to the reapportionment flux from a Supreme Court review.
