Editorial notes that Bennington County received substantial state and federal funding for preservation projects including the Putnam Square restoration and painting the Walloomsac Inn in Old Bennington. The piece applauds long lasting improvements as a fitting commemorative legacy of the bicentennial celebration.
Old Bennington prepares to celebrate July 4 as the 200th anniversary of the Declaration. The Walloomsac Inn seeks a $10,000 matching grant to fund repainting and preservation, highlighting Jefferson and Madison visits and local heritage. Local officials praise grant applications and donor backing while community groups push to keep Mt. Anthony Union High School programs funded, with J C Jerome underwriting continuing golf tennis and cross country.
Michael Abrams and Sergio Bendixen, young Florida Democrats active since 1972, steer Carter's campaign in Dade County and national circles. Abrams, born in New York, and Bendixen, from Peru, argue Southern progressives seek a fit with the national party, challenging Northern expectations as Florida pivots after the primary with Orier and Jackson rising.
The piece argues Carter’s Florida win weakens Wallace and boosts Jackson, with Northern liberals underrating Jackson while Southern voters push for clearer positions on foreign policy. It assesses risks for both candidates and notes upcoming contests in New York, Illinois, and North Carolina as the race tightens.
The Governor's Advisory Committee for Economic Development surveyed public input across six Vermont hearings on how to improve the business climate.

An open letter appeals to Vermonters to back JRS 36, a plan to form a bipartisan Senate committee to probe the Public Service Board on energy costs, outages, and regulations.
