Sliding fee scale expands day care access state wide
A new sliding fee scale by the state Department of Social Welfare restores subsidized day care for lower and middle income families, easing financial pressure on centers like Bennington Day Care Center. The plan raises income eligibility, reduces costs for many two person families, and ends the prior cutoff that denied aid above a small threshold. Center director Bruce Stanley expects capacity to reach 65 children, sparing closures and enabling continued fundraising and town support. The change, delayed by the wage price freeze, aims to stabilize services statewide.

Bypasses for fish urged by Tom Salmon
Vermont Governor Thomas Salmon urged the four Connecticut River basin state governors to ask the Interior Department to require fish passageways at four Connecticut River hydroelectric dams. He stressed the plan supports restoring anadromous sport fishing in Vermont and argued 30-year licenses should have required fishways, noting private power firms profit from a public waterway and proposing rebates via passageways.
