Vermont Senate panel backs PSB role in rail planning
The Senate Finance Committee endorsed a bill to appoint the Public Service Board as planner and lessor for Vermont railroads, allocating 3.6 million dollars to rehabilitate the St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad bought by the state for over 1 million dollars last year. The measure serves as an alternative to creating a full state transportation agency, a concept tied to Gov. Thomas Salmon. Committee Chair H Ward Bedford called the measure the only pragmatic route at this time.
