New top prosecutor named in Rutland

There's a new boss at the Rutland County prosecutor's office. Governor Douglas announced the appointment yesterday of 58-year-old Marc Brierre who served as a deputy state's attorney in Rutland for 26 years. He succeeds the retiring State's Attorney James Mongeon. Brierre lives in Rutland where he's a member of the Rutland Town School Board. Mongeon was Vermont's longest-serving prosecutor before his retirement. He recommended Brierre as his successor.
