LAKE CHAMPLAIN -

The state of Vermont needs more money to clean up Lake Champlain from farm and sewage pollution.

The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources says the state would have to increase spending by $150 million dollars a year.

In a report released Friday, a dozen tax and fee increases could add $26 million in revenue.

The report suggests other sources of revenue, including a surcharge on the income or property tax, a statewide storm-water fee to a tax on bottled beverages.
