Vermont Legal Aid lawyer Mark Skinner said the 220 elderly disabled Vermonters awaiting November Social Security checks may trigger a court action if payments are not delivered by Friday. The delay stems from a fifth computer foulup since summer, with state agencies offering loans and help while legal aid seeks immediate compensation or a contempt action tied to a restraining order on overpayments.

Stratton Wins Re election in 28th District by Wide Margin
In New York's 28th District incumbent Democrat Samuel S Stratton of Amsterdam tops Republican Wayne E Wagner of Scotia by about five to one. Wagner earned a primary win but lacked funds and broad support as Stratton leveraged his House seniority and Armed Services committee role. In Saratoga, Republican Carleton J King loses to Democrat Edward W Pattison, as Pattison seizes the 2nd district with 81,554 to 71,204 votes. Pattison attributes victory to Kings debate avoidance and his son's presence on the payroll.
