Vermont Supreme Court Refuses Rutland Housing Vote
The Vermont Supreme Court refused to issue a writ mandamus to compel Rutland Mayor Harold J. Nichols to call a special vote on a 1.5 million dollar, 75 unit low income housing project on Granger Street. The court held such a meeting would be advisory and not binding on the Rutland Housing Authority, citing state law granting exclusive authority to housing authorities and no provision for an approval vote. Cyrus Brewster, secretary of the Rutland Taxpayers Association, had sought the petition opposing the project.
