   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.

   Washington Post- By Anita Kumar, July 24
   State Sen. Mark Herring, a Democrat who represents Loudoun and Fairfax
   counties, announced Tuesday that he will run for attorney general in
   2013. Herring kicked off his campaign by taking a shot at the current
   attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli II (R), whom he accused of using the
   office for an “ideological crusade,” and at the Republicans running to

   [7]Maryland law enforcement agencies resume DNA collections
   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
   F. Gansler has asked the Supreme Court to decide whether collecting the
   genetic information before a person is convicted violates the Fourth
   Amendment right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure. The
   samples are used to link suspects to DNA evidence from previous crime
   scenes.

   [8]Bullock proposes lower taxes for small businesses
   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.

   identity theft scam claiming President Barack Obama will pay citizens’
   utility bills. Delaware residents have been contacted via email,
