Special session in Vermont yields little action on taxes
Vermont legislators adjourned after a rare special session that passed only one bill and rejected a tax hike. Gov. Thomas Salmon warned of a possible $9 million deficit and proposed a 1 point 3 percent sales tax increase, but lawmakers resisted more tax action and pursued spending cuts instead. The session limited the governor's spending powers and backed plans to cover a remaining $7.6 million deficit, while blue law repeal considerations were discussed for January.
