In Montpelier the Vermont Senate approved a compromise tracking bill by 20 to 9 to boost Green Mountain Park in Pownal with a larger share of the 18 percent pari mutuel pool. The measure, previously approved by the House, would raise the track’s cut to 12.5 percent with the state receiving 5.5 percent for the thoroughbred season. The plan, passed 128-17 in the House earlier this month, is expected for final Senate approval tomorrow as Green Mountain Park opens its 1967 season March 3 for a 50 night harness campaign. The increased take is projected to net about 176000 this year for improvements, raises, and larger purses.

Proponents Defeat Amendments To Controversial Housing Bill
The Vermont House defeated several proposed amendments to a controversial fair housing bill during a two day floor debate. An amendment to exclude religious and private institutions passed 83 to 56, while three other amendments bundled together were rejected. Rep Orestes Valsangiacomo offered changes to limit discrimination by lenders and in advertising and to blockbust. The bill, advanced to final reading on a 66 to 86 vote, previously faced a similar fate in 1966. A separate package by Rep John Alden proposing a human rights commission was debated amid procedural moves to postpone refinements. See FAIR HOUSING Page 12, Col 1.
