Vermont Highway Board Affidavits Acknowledge No Conflicts
All three Vermont Highway Board members signed affidavits stating no interest in contracts with the Department of Highways or other dealings. Chairman Cleon Perkins announced the May 19 1962 affidavits, sent to Federal Highway Administrator Rex Whitton and approved by the U S Bureau of Public Roads. The issue arose after Senate rejected Lawrence Handy for the board amid conflict claims, with O Shea arguing Handy unaware of the affidavit rule. Perkins noted the matter originated from a December 29 1961 memorandum by Whitton urging action where states lack conflict statutes.
