Bennington County Senate Candidates Emphasize Regionalism
Republican Ferdinand Bongartz of Manchester touts cooperative regionalism to align county needs from health to housing, backed by land-use planning and rail support. He favors flexible state guidelines, road and utility policies, and green energy, while facing voter concern mainly on economic issues. Merritt Hewitt of Shaftsbury, veteran legislator, backs land-use tax for farmers, no-fault insurance reform, a stronger Public Service Board, and a cost-conscious highway plan amid inflation worries.
