Delinquency List Still Not Produced in Bennington
Bennington Selectmen demanded a delinquent property tax list from John Malone by last Tuesday with promises from Town Manager Edward Lamb that it would arrive by Thursday or Friday. The Banner learned the lists for delinquent school taxpayers were also due, but officials indicated they had not appeared. Malone has not contacted The Banner and argues that returning to in-district elections remains legal, while petitions to set November 6 for a special meeting in each district to decide on single-district elections and Mt. Anthony budget voting methods appear to have failed. The Mt Anthony board must still pursue public approval of its 1970 election method amid a Supreme Court one-man-one-vote context.
