Bennington Debate Pushes Water Plan and Town Manager
Bennington selectman J Duncan Campbell argues for a master water plan and a full-time town manager as vital steps in town growth. He says the village town split harms development and that unified services will improve efficiency, budgeting, and hazard prevention across roads, sewer lines, and public works. He warns against prioritizing village autonomy over town needs and stresses the region's expected 10-year growth.

Burton L. Winslow, former Bennington town manager, urges adopting a town manager to streamline government. He notes a trained executive would advise selectmen and handle details while officials retain power, and cites Vermont’s growing use of managers in towns, including Bennington’s three year legislative provision.
