BOSTON – Boston took a step closer to creating a new transportation plan this week, sketching out a proposed shape of its mass-transit systems for the year 2030 under a draft of the blueprint released Friday.
It includes a kind of wishlist based on inputs from city residents and those who live in the 101-community Metropolitan Area Planning Council, or MAPCO, district of suburbs. Barely half of residents outside the city would like to use mass transit for commuting by 2030, and fewer than half of city dwellers say that would be their preference.
HOOKSETT, N.H. — A trio of Republican presidential hopefuls made appearances at Southern New Hampshire State University on Saturday to speak at an event touting efforts to weaken the federal government's influence, a theme all three candidates unabashedly support.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Hewlett-Packard chief Carly Fiorina and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum each took similar jabs at the current administration but each also painted a different picture as to how they would lead from the White House.
