STATE HOUSE — Cities and towns reliant on local aid saw much to celebrate in the $39.5 billion budget proposal released by House leadership on Wednesday, but some groups, including the court system, were less excited by the fiscal restraint shown in the spending plan for next year.
The budget, which marks the sixth produced by House Ways and Means Chairman Brian Dempsey, limits spending growth to well under the 4.3 percent projected growth in state revenues next year as health care, pensions and debt payments continue to consume large portions of the $1.34 billion in proposed new spending.
NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly said she met privately with Donald Trump on Wednesday to "clear the air" following the Republican candidate's repeated attacks on social media.
Kelly said the two met for about an hour at Trump Tower in Manhattan. Speaking on her show Wednesday night, she gave no details of the conversation, other than to say they discussed a potential interview and that "we hope to have news on that soon."
