Manchester chooses another path for police chief
Manchester selectmen removed Eugene Gaiotti as their top candidate for the 9360 town police chief post after a closed meeting. Town Manager Porter said the decision aimed for objectivity and local priority, keeping officers on the force in mind before outside applicants. Gaiotti then went on sick leave while Fred Wessner and Frank Dupres remain in contention alongside Village Chief George Hoag who also applied following the December shooting death of former Chief Dana L. Thompson.

Major Vermont bills sit in committee while minor items move forward
After four weeks the major legislation before the 1974 Vermont Legislature remains stalled in committee. Minor measures advance to the House and Senate floors, including a 1.4 million supplemental appropriations bill and a bill to restore armed robbery as a crime. The House is poised to approve the supplemental spending bill, and a House vote bumped a new armed robbery measure through on a vice vote. A proposal to publish school budgets earlier and a plan to expand the Rules Committee to add minority representation also drew attention. The Senate considered a governor control bill on top appointments, facing potential veto, amid controversy over a December defender general appointment. The session also moved to extend Sunday beer wine sales in Vermont while college campus alcohol sales faced scrutiny.
