Trustees in Bennington Village plan to ask voters at the March annual meeting to consider charter changes including eliminating the office of village corporation attorney. John H. Williams II, former village attorney, advised that ending the elected salaried post in favor of part time legal services could improve efficiency and relief from low pay. He noted village prosecutions could shift to the state attorney and cited the $1,500 yearly salary as a recruitment barrier.
