SEVEN THE TIMES-ARGUS, BARRE-MONTPELIER, VT. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1976 Zampieri Wants Shot At Lieutenant Governors Job State Meat Inspection Program Saved Vermont Press Bureau State Rep. John Zampieri, D-Ryegate, confirmed Monday that he is giving serious consideration to the possibility of becoming a candidate for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor in the September primary this year. The 35-year-old chairman of the House Transportation Committee said he already has received pledges of support from some of the Burlington Democratic delegation in the House and the Senate and from several other members of the Legislature. However, Zampieri said he wants more time to consider the financial aspects of his possible candidacy and probably will not make a final decision until after the current session of the General Assembly.

sideration to running for the number two post on the state ticket next year, although Rep. Norris Hoyt, D-Norwich, a young attorney, has also been urged to run by the more liberal faction of the Democratic Party. An insurance salesman, Zampieri attended South Ryegate Elementary School, Woodsville (N. High School and Champlain College in Burlington. Zampieri is one of the more conservative Democratic members of the House, where he has served for the past 11 years.

He was chairman for several years of the House Institutions Committee before his appointment last year by House Speaker Timothy J. OConnor, D-Brattleboro, as chairman of the new Transportation Committee. He is the first Democrat to give serious con state program declined in the last quarter of 1975 to a precariously low level. Another decline would bring serious federal enforcement. The head of the state program, Dr.

Alfred E. Janawicz, maintained that Vermont has a satisfactory method of inspections, and dismissed as garbage criticism of it by some of his own inspectors. Both Hebard and Rep. Anthony Buraczynski, D- Appropriations Chairman Emory A. Hebard, R-Glover, said Monday that a hearing on the program was called by his committee last week, to determine if it could be eliminated, which would cut state spending by about $120,000.

Monday Hebard said: Its like everuthing else we try to cut, there are good reasons for not giving up the program. The federal rating for the By MAVIS DOYLE Vermont Press Bureau The House Appropriations Committee has decided not to recommend elimination of the $250,000 for Vermonts meat inspection program in the Agriculture Department. The move would have had the federal government to take over inspections. It was rejected because committee leaders felt federal inspections are too strict. More proof that.

Washingtons Birthday 9 Lives Cat Food Big Round Top White Bread Assorted Flavors TIPS ON NUTRITION Babys first Foods and Cheddar Brattleboro, vice chairman of the committee, expressed concern Monday that a federal takeover of the inspection program would result in driving some packing house? and slaughterhouses out of business. 1 Both men were of the opinion that federal inspectors enforce unrealistic regulations and that they would drive packing houses out of business with new construction and expenditures to meet the regulations.

Hebard said only two of the major meat-packing firms in the state would qualify under the federal regulations. Others would be in trouble because their plants do not have high enough ceilings, he said. Buraczynski said that under federal regulations, the railings on which carcasses are hung in slaughterhouses must be at least 15 feet above the floor. Buraczynski said most Vermont siaughterhouses could not meet that regulation because railings are 14 feet, six inches, to 14 feet, 10 inches, above floors. Buraczynski said the largest meat-processiong company in the state.

McKenzie, is a fraction off on some federal regulations, and could be thrown out of business by federal inspectors who are sticklers on enforcement of the regulations. We would put a lot of slaughterhouses out of business slaughter houses that are as clean and sanitary as any in the country but cant meet some of the federal regulations which have nothing at all to do with the quality of the meat, declared Buraczynski. The vice chairman charged that if Vermont meat packers are forced out of business, it would in turn break many cattle dealers in the state. He declared that he would have no part of forcing meat plants out of business. Hebard said the cost of the Vermont meat inspection program is about $240,000, with the cost to the state $120,000.

The federal government pays the rest. The committee at one time proposed the elimination of the Vermont Occupational Safety Health Act inspection team, replacing it with the federal program. That proposal was opposed by the Associated Industries of Vermont, on grounds that federal inspectors would harass Vermont industries with regulations. Gov. Thomas P.

Salmon went on record in the Appropriations Committee against a federal takeover a safety enforcement. He also registered opposition to the merger of the Vermont safety program with the Labor' Industry Department. That merger was opposed by Labor Industry Commissioner Louis Lavin who administers the safety portion of the act, and by Dr. Anthony Robbins, the health commissioner who administers the health section of the act. Lavin and Robbins told the committee that federal authorities have cited the administration of the Vermont program as a model for the country, and referred officials from other states to Vermont to examine its administration.
