Pownal Sunday racing debate riles Vermont lawmakers
In Bennington briefs, Vermonters haggled over Sunday racing to boost state funds. Senator James Jeffords pushed a graduated 4 to 8 percent pari mutuel commission, while the House Ways and Means Committee moved a bill rushing Sunday wagering, with projected 1969 receipts at about 1.2 million. The measure aims to test Sunday wagering for a year and could be sent to a conference committee. Critics, including Sen. Loomis, argued blue laws are discriminatory and should be repealed only if Sunday racing is allowed. The chamber rejected the blue-law repeal amendment and debated broader rest provisions.
