Merrill Cleared in Conflict of Interest Charge
Vermont Attorney General Charles J. Adams ruled Forests and Parks Commissioner Perry H. Merrill did not violate conflict of interest rules by lending his name to the Cold Hollow Mountain Corporation ski project in Bakersfield. Merrill had no funds invested, and Gov. Keyser says his action was ill advised but should not affect his public service. The ruling serves as a guideline for future cases as Vermont lacks a specific conflict law.
