George, chairman of the Pownal Board of Selectmen, on WCAX TV criticized the Vermont legislature for prioritizing money over principles amid a bill to allow Sunday horse racing at Green Mountain Park.

Inside Columnist Links Affluence To Protest
Gerald Raftery argues affluence fuels protest in his Inside column. Hoosick Falls and North Bennington Villages plan annual elections on Tuesday. Arlington Explorer Post touts three Eagles. A Senate deleted local option clause makes the bill effective only for 1968. George accuses Rep. James Lounsbury of ignoring constituents on the Sunday race bill while Lounsbury denies the charge, saying he discussed the matter with town officials who later indicated uncertainty about their position.

Bill Would Revamp System of Property Tax Appeals
The House Ways and Means Committee filed a bill to replace the three member state Board of Appeals with a district court judge handling all state appeals. It also removes boards of civil authority from appeals, shifts grand list posting to January 1, and allows aggrieved taxpayers to appeal directly to the state Tax Commissioner before potential court action. This aims to speed reviews and reflect recent revaluations.
