Senate tightens executive sessions amid forest and park funding
The Vermont Senate adopted a permanent rules package after 90 minutes of debate, tightening executive session secrecy and banning public voting on appointments. A secret ballot will be used in executive sessions with ballots destroyed to keep votes private. The chamber approved a $1 million bond for forest and park improvements and expanded the Fish and Game Board to seven members with county representation every two terms. The House resisted relinquishing control of the deer herd, waived $35,000 in Rutland Railway back taxes, and approved a minimum flow bill regulating stream water while delaying liability for drivers who littered.
