Revenue sharing eyed for human services by Northshire council
The Northshire Human Resources Council met in Manchester to examine revenue sharing as a potential resource for human services. Terence Fiske of the Vermont League of Cities and Towns detailed how funds flow, noting Vermont allocates funds by a population and income formula and that national use for human resources hovers around 2 to 5 percent. The May meeting reviewed local distributions in Bennington County for 1974 and outlined nine permissible expenditure categories. The next meeting is set for July 9 at Ethan Allen Community College with a speaker from the Southern Vermont Women's Health Center.
