Bennington Officials Push For Separate District Ahead Of Plan
Bennington County leaders urged against lumping Bennington and Rutland into one administrative district as Gov. Davis delayed implementation of the Senate redistricting bill until a public hearing. Selectmen argued that Rutland should not control District 1 and pressed for Bennington to be in a separate district, backing changes to the western districts to create a fourth Bennington district. County legislators, including Rep. Caracciola and Rep. Beattie, defended efficiency plans while opponents warned of absentee decisions and higher costs between Montpelier and local offices. The hearing date remained pending the Administrative Coordination Committee.
