Vermont PSB Proposes Hearings On Power Clause Change
The Vermont Public Service Board proposes changes to the purchased power and fuel adjustment clause to require rate hearings for utilities using the clause. It would shift higher wholesale costs to large users, drop the July 1 1974 expiration, and set a June 10 public hearing. Education official Fabian urges state funding of 75 to 80 percent of local education costs. He argues the property tax system and Grand List equalization are flawed and that towns and federal government should cover the rest.
