Letter to the editor: Vekos deserves prosecutor job

It is high time to have a juvenile law practitioner in the State’s Attorney’s Office.

Middlebury’s Eva Vekos scored a decisive win over Montpelier resident (Lincoln native) Tim Lueders-Dumont, 2,823-2,388, in Tuesday’s Democratic primary for Addison County state’s attorney.

There is too much at stake — including public safety — to trust this role to someone who is learning on the job.

Lawyer Eva Vekos would like to see more diversion for minor crimes but stronger prosecution for serious offense if she is elected as Addison County State’s Attorney.
