Aiken Rejects Delay of Land Regulation Dates
Health Commissioner Dr. Robert Aiken rejected a proposal to push the effective date of Vermont land development rules to May 1. He told the House Natural Resources Committee that delaying reviews until construction begins would harm public health and urged restoring 410,000 for six sanitary positions to enforce the rules. The Senate committee heard a $67 million water cleanup plan, including 48 million for new secondary treatment plants and 19 million for upgrading existing ones, tied to proposed polluter permits.

Nichols Voices Concern Over Vermont Education Reorganization
A third dissent emerges as Charles Nichols, executive secretary of the Vermont State School Directors Association, warns Gov. Deane C. Davis’s Education Department plan could be a definite drawback. He says the reorg may weaken ties between the current department and its place within a broader agency. The plan places higher education under the educational umbrella, names an education secretary, and turns the lay member education board into an advisory panel, adding to previous objections by sportsmen and labor groups.

Committee Backs Two Year Time Lag In State Education Aid
The House Education Committee reaffirmed support for a two year time lag in the state aid formula using two year old average daily membership figures. The plan aims to help districts plan budgets and prevents aid confusion from last year’s enrollment-based shifts. The panel also endorsed emergency funding for districts with enrollment increases, allowing aid for districts with a 10 percent or 200 pupil rise due to a private school closing, contingent on a local vote to raise education funding.
