Senate OKs $1.3 million veterans bonus bill
The Vermont Senate approved a 1.3 million veterans bonus on a 21 to 7 vote with preliminary support and a pledge to return to the House after adding an amendment. The measure would pay veterans who served in Vietnam a $120 bonus, funded through June 30, 1971, with $20,000 for administration. Senator Fiore Bove argued the token sum honors service, while Senator Douglas Kitchel opposed it and suggested funding the Vermont Student Assistance Corp instead.
