Local residents criticize attorney Harvey D. Carter Jr for pursuing a rehearing in the Route 7 case. A Montpelier survey shows most state lawmakers support the Bennington to Manchester highway, despite opposition from two legislators and harsh criticism from Gerald Morrissey who calls Carter’s group an environmental façade.

NYC Looks to Withdraw City Workers From Social Security
Mayor Abraham Beame announced that New York City will seek to pull most municipal employees out of the Social Security system within two years. The move would cut annual city contributions by about 200 million and cost the system roughly 400 million in annual outflows, with about 230,000 workers potentially affected if state agencies funded by the city also join. The notice states it is not yet a termination and the city may reverse course. March 31, 1978 is a tentative termination date.
