Salmon slams Jeffords over expanding attorney general staff
Vermont House Minority Leader Thomas P. Salmon accused Attorney General James M. Jeffords of wasting state funds on a large, ineffectual staff. Salmon, speaking in Bennington, said the office has become a political entity and should focus on enforcing laws rather than lobbying the governor. He cited a rise from 142000 to 509000 in annual appropriations and noted Vermont held far fewer assistants than Massachusetts. See SALMON Page 12, Col. 1
