Vermont Chamber criticizes proposed travel budget cuts
The Vermont Chamber of Commerce denounces 1978 and 1979 cuts totaling 166000 to the state travel division. They warn eliminations include agricultural promotion at the Springfield expo, 30 local information grants, travel advertising, and the Guilford Welcome Center. The chamber argues a $424,000 budget could generate about $5 in state revenue per dollar, with a $78,000 cut risking nearly $400,000 in reduced revenue.
