Hoff Pledges Right To Save Road Program
Gov. Philip Hoff pledged to fight the move by Republicans to cut the U.S. 7 highway bond program. The plan would shrink Hoff's $34 million package to $10 million, eliminate U.S. 7 from accelerated plans, drop the Burlington belt-line, and halt U.S. 2 upgrades, funding instead by a gas tax hike. Local reaction in Bennington County grew as residents protested, while Lefevre warned he would block any plan not including summer starts on Route 7.
