Power dispute could stretch Vermont legislature past deadline
In Montpelier the Vermont legislature faces a possible extension beyond Saturday as debate continues on a bill to take over Vermont Electric Power Co. An alternative plan would create an Energy Planning Board to supervise the firm without a state takeover. Labor leaders criticized ongoing labor legislation amid a heated exchange involving Speaker Walter Kennedy who received a standing ovation for defending the House. The session aimed to consider a tax break for farmers and industry.
