New approach to state aid taxes targets income support
Rep Edwin A Colvin proposes a reform bill likely numbered H 377 to fund public education by rebates based on modified spendable income, shifting from property based Miller formula. The plan would move 33.8 million into a tax relief program, rewarding lower incomes and potentially saving 6 to 8 million while taxing residents and non residents alike with deductions for some farmers.

Lawmakers seek $5 million Route 7 fix from Pownal to Burlington
Four Bennington lawmakers sponsor a bill to funnel about $5 million toward upgrading the old Route 7 from Pownal to Burlington. The proposal, a rewrite of an earlier plan, omits Route 2 improvements and faces a hearing in the Statehouse. Colvin, Nawrath, Gardner, and Foster say funds will not affect a separate federally blocked Manchester to Bennington project, and aim to complete most improvements by June 1980 within the existing right of way.
