Vermont Senate Restores Death Penalty In Aggravated Murder
Vermont Senate voted 18 to 12 to reinstate the death penalty for aggravated murder after a heated debate. Proponents led by T Garry Buckley and opponents cited deterrence doubts, with several senators from both parties voting for and against. The measure, tied to eyewitness or confessed murder evidence, faces potential resumption later in the week as the criminal code action was tabled.

Bennington selectmen debated major listers board changes on Tuesday night. Proposals include expanding the three member board to five, dropping a temporary professional assessor, raising pay for part time listers, and returning to elected part timers only. The sole firm decision was hiring Bruce Mangan at $10 an hour to appraise about 50 new houses and 250 renovations before April 1 to place them on the Grand List.
