Vermont lawmakers clash over capital gains tax effects
State Tax Commissioner Robert Lathrop and Governor's counsel Norris Hoyt charged House Speaker Walter Kennedy with misrepresenting the Salmon administration property tax relief program. They argued the capital gains tax on speculative land sales slowed, but did not stop development, and failed to raise $5.6 million due to vacation-home exemptions. Kennedy urged repeal while Hoyt defended the tax's impact as driving out rapacious land speculators, noting exemptions shifted impact to transfer taxes and regressive effects.
