Vermont poverty director Thomas Davis criticized the House Appropriations Committee for cutting $25,000 in state funds for a proposed Vermont Legal Aid program. The plan, endorsed by the Vermont Bar Association, would be run by a non profit and could risk up to $750,000 in federal matching funds. Davis warned the state’s refusal to fund the poor may jeopardize federal support and the program’s full scope.
