Senator Buckley seeks fixes to sales tax flaws in Vermont
Vermont Senator T Garry Buckley seeks amendments to the 1969 Davis Mallory sales tax statute. He calls for six changes including raising the amusement tax to five percent and eliminating sales tax on home heating fuel and electricity for domestic use. The proposal would allow quarterly tax payments for retailers and offer a voluntary three percent gross receipts tax for small retailers while preserving expected revenue.

Walsh replaced Lodge at the Thursday session and dismissed Communist remarks as he focused on the talks. Madame Bind urged broader recognition of a provisional government to unite Socialist countries against U.S. actions in Vietnam.
