House To Reconsider Appropriations Bill In Vermont
In Montpelier the House voted 76 to 69 to reconsider the $137.4 million omnibus general appropriations bill, seeking to revisit a $135,000 farm family assistance program cut from the budget. A later 73 to 72 roll call refused to reconsider, killing the farm aid. Debates centered on funding for legal services to the poor and state aid to education, with lawmakers split over whether 20 percent interest on construction bonds should fund schools. The farm program had been a federal pilot later turned over to the state, and was called a boondoggle by Rep. James Lounsbury as the government had withdrawn support.
