Rory Thibault can remove the interim from his title following his appointment by Gov. Phil Scott last Thursday to the post of Washington County state’s attorney.
The governor had appointed Thibault to the position on an interim basis Jan. 9 following the resignation of former Washington County State’s Attorney Scott Williams, the county’s top prosecutor since 2014. Williams had been on medical leave for several weeks before formally stepping down.
Thibault took the oath of office late Thursday afternoon in the governor’s office.
The governor had asked the Washington County Democratic Committee to recommend one or more people for him to consider as a successor to Williams, who served in the post as a Democrat. That committee held a caucus a little less than two weeks ago to hear from people interested in the position.
