An information meeting questioned why the Bennington County Industrial Corporation seeks public funds to attract and finance a new Globe Union plant. It notes development groups compete for incentives, and BCIC offered a $100000 interest free loan with taxpayers covering $15000 in interest over ten years to lure the plant.
The BCIC may raise 15000 by private subscriptions or seek taxpayer approval through a special town meeting. Officials argue public funding aligns with community interests and that broad voter support is essential for bringing new industry to Bennington.
A letter argues Goldwater's Senate voting shows not the GOP mainstream as claimed. It cites his Civil Rights move against cloture and contrasts six GOP senators with 27 who supported the motion. The piece casts doubt on the mainstream label and criticizes its use in politics.
The Senate approved cloture on the Civil Rights bill by 71 to 9, a two-thirds majority surpassing treaty-ratification needs. The piece lauds bipartisan Humphrey-Dirksen leadership, warns that enacting rights does not fully redress past grievances, and frames the measure as a landmark repudiation of inherent inferiority tied to slavery.
Former White House secretary Bill Hassett, 83, slowly recovering from a heart attack in Northfield, Vermont, discusses politics with wit and clear likes and dislikes. He praises Hoff’s education plan, critiques Foote, doubts Goldwater’s bid, and believes Truman and Roosevelt would fit 1960s leadership. He recalls FDR and Truman and warns of GOP decline if Goldwater wins.
A Vermont reader reviews Professor Andrew E Nuquist’s Town Government book. The critique accuses the work of distortions and political bias, citing data from Glastenbury and Somerset to argue small towns are fiscally viable and per capita costs mislead. The piece urges reading a Vermont study by Jim Wilson on the state s smallest towns.
A playful column lists humorous reader reactions to light news items. Highlights include tying knots microbes at Indiana University, a Palisades Tunnel of Love operator, a picturephone service, instant rice aging, horse dozing, Sears catalog range, and beer improving golf putts.
In a Letter to the Editor, Darrell R. Luinetti argues the GOP core leans right despite liberal outcry. He cites roll call analyses from ACA, ADA, and COPE to show ACA’s right bias and ADA COPE’s Democratic support.
