Vermont Governor Warns of Possible State Layoffs
Gov. Salmon warned that laying off a substantial number of state employees could force a tax increase next year. He favors further budget cuts over new taxes, noting a $3.5 million already trimmed while opposing his opponent Kennedy's income tax surcharge repeal. He estimated up to $8 million extra cuts might be needed this year, offset by a surplus in the property tax relief fund. The governor suggested closing a high income taxpayers loophole but ruled out a general tax hike.

UVM projects nearly 2.7 million deficit for 1976
University of Vermont President Andrews says the administration forecasts a 2.7 million dollar shortfall for fiscal 1976. The deficit depends on avoiding a year end deficit over 500 thousand and on state funding no more than 300 thousand below prior level, with a required at least 11.7 million state funding to hold the deficit. He seeks additional state funds as tuition rises 95 dollars for Vermonters and 125 dollars for nonresidents.
