Vermont House Debates Aid for Schools and Education Sweepstakes
In Montpelier four major bills are introduced including a new state aid for schools measure and a sweepstakes for education. Rep. Richard W. Mallary proposes a $500000 aid increase with equalization aims, cushioning to protect towns, and alignment with varying town costs. A separate sweepstakes bill would fund schools but is not expected to advance. Senate bills seek Health and Welfare Department consolidation. A real estate transfer tax proposal is pitched to raise $500000, facing Realtor opposition.

House Committee Holds U Johnsons Medicare Bill
President Johnsons main health proposal to create a federal elderly care plan under Social Security remains stalled in the House Ways and Means Committee with limited support. A possible path is a compromise acceptable to Chairman Mills, while a broader hospital aid push may advance under Chairman Harris with hearings planned soon. Johnson did not detail a Medicare financing plan but favors a Kennedy era model King Anderon bill style guaranteeing hospital and nursing home care for those over 65 funded by a higher payroll tax and expanded coverage.
