State League pushes pollution free power in Vermont
The Vermont League of Women Voters Board adopts a new environmental control stance. The consensus calls for pollution free electricity, strict government regulation, and lower per capita power use through education and economic policy. It favors ambient air standards at the lowest pollution levels and supports existing environmental laws and future action in all local Leagues.

First Action Expected By Vermont Welfare Board
The newly reconstituted Vermont Social Welfare Board faces its first decision Tuesday on Rutland resident Robert Mott’s appeal over his termination from aid to the aged blind and disabled program. A Rutland hearing officer already heard the case and will report next week as the department presents medical evidence that Mott is no longer disabled. Government aides note Mott’s counsel cites legal aid cost as a barrier, while a federal panel weighs whether he received a fair hearing last year amidst a shakeup that ousted Chairman William Wright and installed Luther Hackett.
