Bolton urges new Vermont laws he would back
Bennington County State's Attorney Raymond G. Bolton told the Bennington Rotary Club he favors four bills and stricter parole limits for murder but fears the current session is too late. He cited nonsensical laws, shoplifting loopholes, and urged bills to criminalize concealing merchandise, deny parole after first degree murder, raise penalties for grand larceny, and bar felons from handgun possession to align with federal law.
