Foster Seeks Broad Vermont Reform Through Conservation and Tax Reform

Bennington Subdistrict 3 candidate Thomas H. Foster pushes conservation to protect Vermont’s charm and economy. He backs scenic corridor land use controls, review of Water Resources Board and Health Board powers, forests and open lands preservation, and an equitable tax plan to aid landowners. He supports higher state aid to schools, cautious on taxes, favors limited sales tax if needed for education, demeans property taxes, and backs expedited bypass construction and highway funding. He would adjust gambling terms and awaits federal gun law impact before commenting. Foster, a Bennington native, lives with his wife Catharine on Monument Road.

Witten and rivals vie for Vermont District 33 seats

Bennington candidates R Marshall Witten and William J. Nelson, both veterans of local politics, outline education funding, tax reform, and economic development. George Van Santvoord, incumbent, stresses school finance reform via the Miller formula, river union districts, and Vermont constitution revisions. They push highway projects, conservation, and cautious fiscal policy while weighing gun laws and Sunday racing.
