Salmon urges tight reins on Vermont budget

Hearings begin on state agency requests totaling 177 million with only about 165 million in revenues expected. Wilson warned of a possible 4.5 million deficit and noted revenue shortfalls of roughly 40 million over 1974-76, with future years likely also under projections.

State GOP chairman survives ouster move
WATERBURY UPI Stewart Smith of Rutland has survived an ouster attempt by some Republican members. A planned party headquarters reorganization was delayed to December 7 after a 90 minute closed session. Debate focused on Smith's past calls to close Montpelier offices to cut costs, seen by some as targeting executive director John Wu. The party faces about $20,000 debt, potentially $43,000 by next May, with a proposed budget to cut staff salaries and expenses. No action was taken on a Mahady runoff proposal for four contested state offices as lawmakers prepare to decide in January.
