Bennington Lobbyists and State Grant Talks in Montpelier
Rep. Joseph Caracciola states there are no paid lobbyists from Bennington, but individuals like automobile dealers and day care advocates lobby on their topics. He notes selectmen act as town lobbyists on state road aid and charter changes. Major lobbyists in Montpelier include Rutland attorney John D. Carbine for Central Vermont Public Service Corp and former Lt. Gov. Ralph A. Foote, plus Judge Henry Black who has billboard interests. Leaves disposal is handled by Bennington town crews with a vacuum truck focusing on storm sewer areas. outside-town areas rely on residents to manage leaf care.
