Vermont charts shakeups and budgets in three reports
In Montpelier UPI reports Gov Salmon regrets Dr Frank Mandel's resignation as chair of the Governor's Committee on Children and Youth amid a dispute over Weeks School abuse charges. Davis says Mandel fixated on the issue and a successor must work across the full committee. A separate hearing on a proposed post secondary education board drew little support with lawmakers favoring coordination or a commissionership instead. Vermont Highway Commissioner Gray warns the department needs more funds or face program cuts and proposes a fifth transportation superagency to unify highway aeronautics and carriers division.
