WASHINGTON (AP) — Five candidates, five states, five very different paths forward. The four men and one woman who would be president all head into Tuesday's primaries seeking different kinds of validation.
Donald Trump wants a knockout. Hillary Clinton is ready to end the long goodbye. Bernie Sanders needs a lucky break. Ted Cruz and John Kasich are road-testing a new alliance.
BOSTON – Saying state spending has risen 50 percent since 2006, state Rep. James Lyons appealed to his colleagues in the House of Representatives Monday to roll back the Massachusetts sales tax to 5 percent from 6.25 percent.
Rep. Stephen Kulik, a Worthington Democrat, argued for an amendment to study the proposal, saying a rollback would cut $1 billion from state revenue. "It's critical funding," he said, noting the proposed House budget increases state spending by $1.1 billion.
