Defender General seeks more staff amid oppressive caseloads
In Montpelier the defender general's office plans a supplemental appropriation request in the 1974 legislature to hire eight part time public defenders and staff assistants. The program faces a bottleneck in ten district offices, with Chittenden County and Orange Washington Counties strained by caseloads. A $50,000 two year federal grant is being pursued to fund a full time prison attorney, attorney, para professional and secretary, with Paul Berch of Woodstock among candidates. Salmon administration backs funding beyond the grant term.
