MIAMI (AP) — Even Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson doesn't seem to think his campaign ad featuring rap lyrics is the best idea.
Carson said Thursday he "probably would have taken a little different approach," when asked about the new ad during book-signing events in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
When two former governors team up to pressure the current occupant of that office to spend tax dollars, working families should hold onto their wallets. Knowing those ex-governors as the bipartisan founding fathers of the Big Dig, taxpayers should prepare for a red-ink tsunami.
Three-term Democrat Mike Dukakis and twice-elected Republican Bill Weld have joined forces lobbying Governor Charlie Baker to construct a one-mile train tunnel connecting North Station and South Station. For Dukakis, another Boston tunnel is practically déjà vu, as this North-South rail link constituted part of his original transportation dreamscape, until the federal government nixed the price tab.
