Amendments have been proposed to a bill that would change how Vermont elects its top military leader. The amendments are designed to delay at the state level the federal proposal to base F-35 fighter jets in South Burlington. The federal judge presiding over the case of a Randolph man charged in the sexual assault and murder of his 12-year-old niece in 2008 has changed his mind about combing the entire state for prospective jurors in the man's trial. Journalists can now bring cell phones and computers into federal buildings in Vermont.
