Next week’s primary election in Vermont will bring to a close one of
the tightest primary races this year. Incumbent Attorney General Bill
Sorrell is seeking reelection for an eighth term is facing Chittenden
County Attorney TJ Donovan in a Democratic primary which will likely
decide the general election winner.

Both candidates have been working hard to define their views to the
voters and have hosted several debates around Vermont in the past week
to discuss their responses to issues of substance abuse and genetically
modified foods. Post debates, new polling by Castleton Polling
Institute has come out that puts General Sorrell in the lead over
Donovan by twenty points, 44-24 statewide. Though determining who will
vote in the primary is difficult, Sorrell’s lead is still far over the
7% margin of error. With less than one week left to go both campaigns
will be emphasizing their candidates experience as prosecutors and
working to get out the vote in the all-important Democratic primary.

To learn more about either candidate check out their websites; [9]Bill
Sorrell for VT Attorney General and [10]TJ Donovan for Attorney
General.

[13]State Attorney General Sues Wounded-Veterans Charity
LA Times- By Tony Perry, August 9, 2012
California's attorney general on Thursday filed a civil lawsuit against
a Riverside County-based charity that raises money allegedly to support
programs for military veterans and active-duty personnel, particularly
for those hospitalized with war wounds. Instead of supporting those
programs, the Help Hospitalized Veterans has used donations for lavish
salaries and pensions, self-dealing business relationships and loans,
and perks such as $80,000 in golf memberships and use of a condominium,
Atty. Gen. Kamala D. Harris said in a lawsuit filed in Riverside County
Superior Court.
