Hoff Decries Vermont Budget Cuts Hurt Education
Governor Hoff blasted the House Appropriations Committee for cutting education programs by large sums in the 1968 69 budget. He cites reductions of 240000 to the Vermont Student Assistance Corp 135000 from the University of Vermont and 80000 from library services while noting the loss of 140000 in federal matching funds. The plan calls for 372000 general and highway fund expenditures in 1968 and 2300000 in 1969 plus funds for driver education nursing and allied health schools and a two cent rooms and meals tax and two percent corporate franchise tax proposal awaiting Ways and Means action.
