Diamond warns if budget is cut attack on legal services
Vermont Attorney General M Jerome Diamond warned the House Appropriations Committee that a $14 100 cut to the AGs budget could force layoffs and shift reliance to private counsel at $40 an hour. He argued the office has grown due to new state duties in environmental protection employee relations and consumer protection and urged lawmakers to specify which services would be curtailed if funds are reduced. He said the state must decide which lawsuits go unanswered agencies go uncounseled and statutes go unenforced.

State pay raise still a battle in committee
The House Government Operations Committee considered a $4 million pay package for state employees and rejected several amendments but took no vote on the bill. It would raise all workers by 12.75 per week, about 13.7 percent for the lowest paid and 2 percent for the top tier. Gov Salmon backs a $6 million package with a 10.1 percent raise and a 40 hour work week, while the Vermont State Employer Association sticks to the higher raise with no extra hours.
