The Vermont American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has just released its survey of candidates for local prosecutor. Director James Duff Lyall will talk about what the ACLU is looking for in prosecutors, and how educating voters about prosecutors can help reduce the number of Vermonters in prison.

Friday at 4 pm, bells will ring around Vermont for four minutes, to celebrate Norman Rockwell's Four Freedoms paintings. Like Captain America, the paintings originated during World War II and continue to inspire today. There may not be a Captain America musical, but the premiere of a New York-bound musical based on the painter and these paintings is happening this weekend in Arlington, Vermont.
