Pownal board faces critique over underspending
Pownal school directors were challenged by resident Jerome Campbell for trimming $47,000 from next year’s budget aimed at curriculum development and instructional materials. Campbell argued voters expected a larger budget following a $600,000 bond for a school addition, while directors maintained instructional costs had only appetite to rise slightly and failed to include all material costs in a direct comparison.

Controls boss blasts labor and news media
Assistant Attorney General L. Patrick Gray III accused organized labor of trying to destroy wage price controls and said the news media ignored good news. He cited two court victories the press overlooked and criticized journalists for focusing on defeats. The White House warned it would take nearly 20 years to reach full employment due to a coming baby boom in the labor force. The International Union of Electrical Workers sought a higher wage-controls exemption, while the Federal Reserve noted December consumer credit fell from November due to fewer auto loans.

Conservatives Fail to Cut Davis Budget in Vermont House
In Montpelier the Davis administration withstood a conservative bid to cut 6 million from the fiscal 1973 General Fund by setting a 125 million ceiling. The 69 to 65 vote also defeated a plan to repeal Vermont's 15 percent personal income tax surcharge, though supporters said the close result preserves room to cut taxes and protect education funding.
