Vermont Governor calls special session on sales tax rise
Vermont Gov. Thomas Salmon called the Legislature into a Sept. 29 special session to consider raising the general sales tax by at least 1 percent and announced $3 million in additional budget cuts for the current fiscal year. He warned of drastic local tax increases if Congress rejects the plan and noted a $9 million deficit in 1975, with another similar gap projected for 1976. The plan would take effect Oct. 1 and aims to avoid hikes in personal income tax while urging quick committee prep for a potentially one-day session.

Military talks in Geneva followed, and Kissinger warned the move tests Congress in a tough year for U.S. commitments abroad.
