Vermont House Extends Session With Extra 445000
The Vermont House approved an additional 445000 to extend the current biennial session to March 27, with the Senate aiming for a March 12 adjournment. Observers noted minimal debate as a controversial earlier supplemental bill and proposed pay raises for officials faced no decisive action. The chamber also moved on an election reform bill removing the box on ballots for slate votes, while other measures on pay, driver education funding, and lobbying disclosures progressed or stalled in committee.
