Hackel slams GMP head salary. calls for more Vermonters on PSB
Stella Hackel, Democratic candidate for Vermont governor, attacked Green Mountain Power Corp. executive pay, calling $48,000 to the board chairman excessive. GMP disputed the figure, noting consulting pay and director fees to W. C. Fitkin, with retirement funds separate. Hackel urged limiting out of state directors to two and expanding consumer representation on the Public Service Board. She tied her stance to utilities' public impact and voiced no specific PSB appointments. Lt. Gov. Brian Burns remains the other declared candidate for the nomination.

Blue laws and phosphates spark 11th hour Vermont session
Vermont lawmakers wrestled with Blue Laws reform and a phosphate detergent ban as the 1976 session stretched toward adjournment. The House backed a conference version allowing Sunday opening for some small stores while large chains stay closed, and nonfood stores with seven or more employees must remain closed. The Senate rejected the phosphate ban 16-14, voting to fund phosphate-removal in sewage plants instead. A conference committee failed to resolve differences Friday.

Ford shapes up Carter as likely Democratic rival
President Ford campaign aides say Carter appears more likely than Humphrey to win the Democratic nomination as Ford launches a California two day circuit. Ford emphasizes fundraisers in San Francisco and Los Angeles aiming to raise over 600000 while meeting state party leaders in Fresno. Carter remains ahead in delegate counts and in a national poll, with Gallup showing Carter 48 percent to Ford 46. Humphrey, not a candidate but still favored by some Democrats, hints at potentially seeking the nomination if the convention stalls.
