Bennington Leaders Urge Protest of State Aid Cuts
Bennington Senator Eugene V. Clark and Town Rep. Joseph J. Caracciola urged area residents to attend a Montpelier public hearing on the Hoff administration state aid formula. The plan would add 2.5 million dollars to total state aid, but Bennington County would lose about 30 percent, with Bennington town dropping from 92 627 to 81 871. Clark and Caracciola warned the cuts threaten local town finances and questioned the fairness and viability of the extra taxes proposed and the legislature’s timing. The hearing is set for 7 30 p m Monday in the Montpelier House chambers.
