Deputy Attorney General Gregory MiKenzie, whom he thought was more experienced But Ryan, who got his law degree by clerking In stead of going to law school, feels Skinner should tn elected tiecause he reflects a broad view of the role of the attorney general's office a view Ryan says Is projxT "I know and like and respect John Easton. says Ryan, a lifelong Montpelier resident who still has an active law prat tlce But he says his personal view I that Easton's more limited lew ol the role of the at torney general's office is too restrictive "1 think a broad view of the attorney general Is highly desireable," he says ermonters should feel that the attorney general Is not only "the equivalent of a general counsel of a corjxiration (the but that the attorney general is "their attorney In matters of public interest Ryan is clearly a man In the Democratic mainstream but he is strongly bipartisan atxMit one thing The duty and privilege of every Vermonter to vote People may not be happy about government policies or their elected representatives "But you can be damn sure they won't change unless people take part and vote," he says Act 250 (Continued from Page One) Similarly the board ruled "We have found that the acquisition and demolition of Baldwin Sf but one component of a large scale development project for a government office complex in the Capitol Complex area The Board ruling also noted the complex plan involved "far more" than 10 acres and that I Baldwin St was a part of the project "Most, if not all. of the remaining land within the 27 acre Capitol Complex will bear an important relationship with the tracts subject to construction." the ruling reads The board concluded that the complex plan "involves more than ten acres of land and that any substantial development activity In execution of that plan Is subject to the jurisdiction of the act The ruling overrides a legislative mandate which set aside money last year and gave the state Buildings Division authority to raze the building located at 8 Baldwin St in anticipation of the construction of new state office space Buildings Division Director Irving Bates had argued during hearings before the board that because the demolition project was ordered by the Legislature, it did not fall under Act 250 But, the board said its ruling. If immunity to environmental review was the Legislature's intent, it would have been specifically noted in legislation "If the General Assembly intended to create an exemption from Act 250 for projects that are subject to the review of the Capitol Complex Commission, it could have expressly so stated," the decision notes Bates also argued that some projects included In the Capitol Complex Plan were too remote or too speculative in nature and that the plan could not be considered a blueprint" for development But, the board ruled We do not accept that argument The plan is far more than a planning study, a policy statement or a pipedream The ruling notes the plan has been approved by both the Capitol Complex Commission as well as the Montpelier Planning Commission In addition, the board said that a number of direct and significant acquisition, demolition and construction activities" have already been undertaken In the furtherance of the masterplan Although the board conceded that the Capitol Complex Plan has not formally been adopted by the General Assembly, we find that the plan has been used consistently as a framework and guide for state development within the Capitol Complex since its creation in 1966 State historic preservationists, long antagonists of the master-plan, called Thursday's ruling a victory and said that, by applying Act 250 to the state development plan, Montpeliers historic quality could be safeguarded Montpelier Heritage Groups immediate past president, Philip Elwert, said the board ruling "will at least allow for a review of drastic actions" the state might undertake as part of the complex plan. But, he said, the historic district can be eliminated by a long series of small actions which may still avoid Act 250 review Bates, contacted Thursday, said he had read the Board ruling but refused to comment until a decision had been made hether to appeal the decision Under the Environmental Board's rules, the Buildings Division has 30 days to appeal the decision Missiles (Continued from Page One) prevented any irrevocable reaction Added the report "There is no guarantee that false alerts will not happen in the future They will occur and we must rely on the collective judgment of the people manning the system to recognize and deal correctly with false alarms The system employs three high altitude satellites, as well as ground radar to Kan the skies the oceans and the Soviet land mass for missile launches Soviet rcx ket launches occur periodically during military maneuvers and during rocket tests However the infrared sensors that pick up the hot exhaust of flying missiles occasionally are trggered by natural physical phenomena the report disc losed In addition the report found that the computers that process the satellite and radar data at Cheyenne Mountain Colorado Spirgs Colo occasionally tran smit a fa.se piece of information The report sa.d aunrg the last 18 morlhs military warning officers considered 3 703 alarms of which 174 were ctMred initially at least to indicate a threat to the I Sta'es Of the 174 four tnoOecti resulted Li order fh-org to stra'egic to teg a he ghtened stae of a.ert Fuel Continued from Page One the two areas of controversy will be held at a later date Meanwhile, dson said the state received strong support in its request for conditional approv al of IU program from Sen Robert Stafford.

and his staff Wilson noted that Stafford is a member of the Senate Labor Human Resources Committee which worked on the bill establishing the federal fuel assistance program Vermont will eventually receive $10 8 million in federal funds for its fuel assistance program However, the checks that will be mailed Thursday will be based on a formula established when the state's fuel assistance allocation was only $8 2 million "I hope that the second round of checks that go out in November will be based on the $10 8 million formula," llson said ednesday He said he expects the amounts of the checks would be slightly higher unless the federal officials refuse to allow Vermont a waiver of the twopendmg regulations "If we have to provide retroactive payments and provide assistance to homeowners and renters at the same level I don't think the amount of the checks ill Increase." Wilson said "In fact, it ts possible that the amounts of the checks could decrease slightly Wilson said Vermont's fuel program was one of the first to be reviewed by HHS and subsequently the state is raising a number of issues that the federal government hadn't anticipated He said one of the problems facing the state and HHS is a lack of data to support the state's contention that persons who pay for their own fuel are affected by rising fuel costs than renters whose fuel is included in their rent No one has the data to say if we are right or wrong I suspect that we will have to go out and compile that information," he said He said the conditional approval issued Wednesday by HHS means the pressure on the state to get the fuel assistance money to needy Vermonters is off for the time being But the CVCAC disagrees In its letter to Snelling. the anti poverty agency said "many needy Vermonters are not eligible for the monthly fuel allowance, and even those who are eligible will not receive checks large enough to purchase a minimum delivery of heating fuel Market Loses Liquor License The One-Stop Market on North Main Street in Barre will lose its right to sell beer and wine for 15 days starting Nov 2, because a store clerk sold a quart of beer to a 17 year-old boy. According to a spokesman at the Vermont Liquor Control Board.
