Vermont lawmakers approved a $1 million personal income tax cut despite opposition from the Appropriations Committee. The move leaves the omnibus measure short by $1 million and prompts a plan to trim spending to offset lost revenues. Governor Davis praised the result after personal intervention, while Democrats warned of unshown program cuts.

One-room schools face extinction in Lyndon vote
Vermont one room schoolhouses decline as Lyndon School Board votes to close Red Village at year end due to high upkeep costs and a small pupil base. Squabble Hollow will stay open at least one more year, with Mrs. Janice Somers campaigning to keep it alive longer. Urban Wakefield notes a drop from 22 to four such schools statewide, while Dr. Katelene Russell argues rural schools offer greater advantages. The piece traces broader declines tied to farming population drops since 1935.
