Town Highway Aid: “Towns hadn't received an increase in state aid in 16 years, and in the first year of the biennium, I was able to put through an inflation adjuster so at the very least every year moving forward, the amount of aid that goes through the towns, which is divided up by the amount of mileage they have, will increase by an inflation adjuster for highway construction projects.” (St. Albans Messenger)
