BOSTON — Gov. Charlie Baker proposed an additional $83.5 million for vocational education Friday, including a $75 million five-year capital program in a jobs bill set to be filed next week and an additional $8.5 million in his annual budget.
Both of Baker's initiatives would need to pass through the Legislature in a time of tight finances.
In America, alleged land of freedom, a 19-year-old soldier just back from Afghanistan can't sidle up to a bar and legally order a beer.
In supposedly regulation-crazed Europe, meanwhile, an 18-year-old can order a martini. In the beer-drinking cultures of Belgium and Germany, a 16-year-old can ask for beer or wine.
