A handful of Vermont dairy farmers are raising concerns at the State House about a bill that would grant driver identification cards to Vermont residents who are in this country illegally. A Winooski police officer shot a man after an altercation yesterday afternoon. Isaac Sage is a 35-year old Winooski resident who’s had run-ins with the police before. The family of a Vermont State Police trooper who was killed while trying to stop a fleeing suspect in 2003 has received a $4.5 million settlement from the state and its insurance carrier.
