Vermont law permits retroactive rate increases
To the Editor of The Banner a Brattleboro Daily Reformer article notes Vermont allows a retroactive 2.1 percent surcharge on CVPS bills for three years. The charge, tied to an 11 percent rate hike approved last April, would imply about $1,359,000 in extra revenue CVPS would have collected if the original rate request had taken effect.

Vermont considers merger of higher education systems
Vermont lawmakers study a plan to unite the Vermont Community College Commission with the University of Vermont and Vermont State Colleges as the Vermont System of Higher Education. The proposal, backed by two boards, asks for a three member initial board from community colleges and cross‑section gubernatorial appointees. A separate measure would authorize the governor to fill a House vacancy immediately to avoid an interim period without a representative, noting Vermont currently has one U.S. representative.
