Governor predicts little opposition to Brownell plan
The governor said at a news conference he does not expect strong opposition to the Brownell version incorporating planning commission guidelines under the land control law for development permits. He warned he would fight for the plan if needed and noted Meaker's later draft would weaken the bill. He threatened to challenge opponents from the Landowners Steering Committee in the Northeast Kingdom. He sees no veto on the property tax relief bill if capital gains tax changes are not included and would review the overall legislation. He also remarked on Nixon's budget impact, saying governors should bring ear plugs to Washington meetings.
