Billings predicts talkathon to slow Vermont bills
Vermont House Speaker Franklin Billings predicts conservative members will stage a talkathon at the Monday session to slow passage of bills. He says the 95 who lost reapportionment fights will delay action, as the chamber moved to preliminary approval of fall special elections per a Supreme Court order. The House also passed a 13.5 million highway bond bill under a suspension of rules, while a cigarette tax measure failed. The Senate swiftly approved 5.6 million for college building funds, including 2.1 million for University of Vermont construction.
