A Vermont bill would let State Treasurer Peter Hincks invest up to 35 percent of the 34 million Teachers Retirement Fund in blue chip stocks with approval from the Teachers Retirement Board. The measure mirrors a prior version that failed in conference, which allowed only 10 percent. Meantime Sen. John O'Brien suffered a second heart attack and is in serious condition in Burlington.
