Earlier this week former Vermont Governor Howard Dean met with General
Bill Sorrell to cast early votes in the Vermont primary for Attorney
General. Governor Dean endorsed General Sorrell on the steps of the
Burlington City Hall, citing his experience in the role and his long
time commitment to helping Vermonters. The former Governor said that
General Sorrell “knows the job cold” during his tenure in office has
done “everything we’ve asked, including some very tough things that
would have been political unpopular.”

Monday was the first day for early voting in the primary that takes
place on August 28^th. General Sorrell is seeking his eighth elected
term in 2012, the Vermont Attorney General race is held every two
years. General Sorrell faces Chittenden County Attorney TJ Donovan in
the Democratic primary this year, the winner will face Republican Jack
McMullen in November.

The Baltimore Sun – By Yvonne Wenger, July 19, 2012
Suspects arrested for violent crimes or burglaries will again have to
submit to DNA collections, officials with several Maryland law
enforcement agencies said Thursday. … Maryland Attorney General Douglas

genetic information before a person is convicted violates the Fourth

samples are used to link suspects to DNA evidence from previous crime
scenes.

Helena Independent Record – By Charles S. Johnson, July 18, 2012
Democratic Attorney General Steve Bullock said Tuesday he will propose
ending the business equipment tax on more than 11,000 businesses if
he’s elected governor. “Too many small businesses are being taxed on
the capital investments they make in purchasing equipment to grow their
businesses before those investments ever have a chance to pay off,”
Bullock said in Billings.
