Bennington Selectmen Grapple With Unified Budget And Police Expansion
State's Attorney Neil S Moss pressed for inclusion in discussions on local law enforcement and received apologies and explanations. Town Manager Lamb defends the unified accounting system and a $10,000 town accountant amid a lean 1971 budget. Campbell opposes several items including the $104,000 police increase, a clerk for the town accountant, and the $10,000 audit, warning of a floor fight at March Town Meeting. The combined general fund and highway budget totals just over $1 million with tax impacts varying by district.
