Babcock frames Vermont tax plan at Bennington talk
Republican gubernatorial candidate Robert S. Babcock urged a 3 percent sales tax on non essential items and higher personal exemption to 600 dollars while pushing income tax relief. He argues the 1965 session is pivotal, that a sales tax would boost town aid and curb out migration, and that zoning and billboard controls are needed to attract tourists. He defends the plan as progressive and says existing taxes cannot cover higher education aid costs. He also criticizes Lt. Gov. Ralph Foote and downplays cross border shopping fears.
