George Loses Job Over Sunday Racing Policy in Pownal
Pownal selectman Arthur E. George, a vocal advocate for local Sunday racing, is fired by H.M. Stevens Co. track caterers at Green Mountain Park after reporting for work March 23 under a new policy barring public office holders from employment. He warned of a precedent limiting public service and noted he may seek reemployment if he leaves office. Sunday harness racing begins at 2 p.m. with four programs planned, and the track will stay open on Sundays but closed on Mondays.
