Governor Sees Compromise Aid Formula for Bennington
Gov. Philip Hoff says a compromise on the proposed state aid formula is needed to prevent large revenue losses for Bennington and Windham Counties. He notes Bennington could lose about a third of 1963 state aid and cites inflated southern grand lists as a factor. Hoff aims to preserve the equalization principle while considering adding 2.5 million dollars to aid, spread over five years to reduce dislocation.

Trustees Seek To Withdraw Bill On 3 Year Terms
Bennington Village Trustees voted to withdraw a bill pending in the legislature that would extend the Village President and village clerk terms from one to three years. Montpelier reports the bill had passed the house and moves to the senate, with village officials weighing withdrawal or an amendment. The push originally aimed to shift the annual Village Meeting date and lengthen terms, but village attorney Williams says it does not meet current needs or urgency for the ongoing special session.
