Vermont land use plan stalls in committee debate
The Legislative Committee on Land Use in Montpelier held a Tuesday hearing with Gov. Salmon and regional planning officials as it hammers a third draft of a state land use plan. Critics call it bare bones while some members seek a stronger document despite past fate of similar plans.

Equity plan urged an FEA to cut New England fuel costs
In Washington, Thomas J. Galligan Jr. of Boston Edison urged the Federal Energy Administration to lower New England fuel costs by adopting an equity based plan. He proposed a ticket system tying entitlements to imported crude and oil products, arguing the region faces a disproportionate burden. The plan could save Edison customers 38 to 75 million dollars annually and 370 to 735 million for New England residual fuel oil users.
