The St. Johnsbury select board wants to keep the Vermont State Police barracks in town, but a high ranking trooper says it’s likely the office will be moving in several years. The school superintendent in Milton says five fifth graders have been invited to Washington to help First Lady Michelle Obama plant the White House garden this spring.
