Betit explains 15 zone bill failure and route to change
Vermont House Municipal Corporations Committee killed Rep. David Allen’s H-44 to drop Bennington school zone speed to 15 mph. Rep. Francis Betit says Bennington’s new charter allows changes via Town Meeting without a special bill, under S7 from 1969. He notes officials lacked familiarity with the bill and committee action blocked it to avoid floor defeat and homework questions.
