House Committee Backs Hoff Highway Plan in Vermont
Gov. Philip Hoff's bond program to fund road improvements won a key vote as the House Highway Committee unanimously supported the measure despite a close 6 to 5 defeat of an amendment to drop four lane construction on U.S. 7. The plan seeks 45 million for southwestern Vermont and a 1 million first aid fund for dangerous highway sections, accelerating four lane projects along U.S. 4, U.S. 7, and parts of U.S. 2 near Burlington and in the St. Johnsbury-Danville area. Mallary pledged further challenges, while Rep. Lefevre signaled basic support with insistence on fiscal guardrails.
