Depot Native Brings Home Sales Tax Facts
Frederick Reed, former Attorney General and son of Reginald Reed, spoke in Manchester to defend Governor Deane Davis proposed sales tax plan. He outlined Vermont’s fiscal crisis, noting state budgets rising from 32 to 96 million and welfare costs swelling, while detailing projected revenues from a four percent sales tax, two percent land transfer tax, five percent corporate income tax, and a 10 percent income tax surcharge to balance the Hoff-era deficits. He said the plan would reach needed revenue in 4 1/2 years, with exemptions for food and medicines, and noted the audience of about 25 at Manchester Elementary School.

Shaftsbury Voters Approve Garage Plan With Site Delay
More than 100 townspeople in Cole Hall authorized an $18,000 loan for a town garage but insisted on a 30 day study to find a site away from Cole Hall. If no alternate site is found, the garage could be built on town land beside Cole Hall with Planning Commission approval. The proposed metal building would cost about $15,000. Voters approved the amendment process and other town spending, including budgets for road work and cemetery care, and set a tax rate with no discount for early payments. Polls open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today.
