Bennington County wins eighth district status
Bennington County leaders celebrate Governor Davis's expedited move to separate Bennington from Rutland County to form an eighth administrative district. The plan keeps Windham towns in their district while state agencies begin redistricting for eight districts ahead of the 1972 legislature. Local officials credit Rep. George Van Santvoord and Sen. T. Garry Buckley for pressing the change, with broad approval from Bennington residents.

Nixon admits goals exceed U S economy's performance
The Nixon administration conceded that its 1971 goals for GNP growth and the twin aims of sharply cutting inflation and unemployment are beyond reach. Council of Economic Advisers chief McCracken told the House Senate Economic Committee that stubborn inflation and recession will persist, though diminish, into the upcoming election year. He warned that inflation expectations could reignite price rises if stimulus is used to curb unemployment.

Stratton lifts and trails approved amid town burden concerns
Brattleboro reports that the District No. 2 Environmental Commission approved the Stratton Mt Act 250 plan for two new ski lifts and 10 trails with restrictions. The decision ruled the development would not place an undue burden on Stratton and Winhall services, while requiring plant upgrades, traffic controls, and clarified skier capacity tied to parking and sewage treatment.
