Vermont PSB questioned as power ties draw fire
Gerald James, secretary of state candidate for the Liberty Union in Guilford, charges complicity between Vermont's Public Service Board and the electric power industry. He calls for a full board review and new makeup including an economist, a conservationist, and a lawyer after the Vermont Yankee decision to issue $80 million in long term bonds while dismissing radiation hazards claims. He also suggests a stronger watchdog role for the secretary of state's office to influence environmental licensing and permits.

Governor Smith booed on campus by Houston students
Governor Preston Smith faced a hostile reception at the University of Houston when about 1,000 students shouted and chased him from the stage amid cries to free Lee Otis Johnson, a Houston man sentenced to 30 years for marijuana possession. A student, Randy Chapman, chased Smith with a broom before security intervened. Chapman’s glasses were broken in the scuffle. Johnson’s case prompted the disruption as Smith defended his youth outreach and said administrators must curb disruptions on campus.
