HUDSON, N.H. (AP) — Ted Cruz on Tuesday returned to New Hampshire for the first time in months, promising conservative voters he'll protect their gun rights and several times invoking the state's "Live Free or Die" motto.
"It's not 'live coddled by a bunch of nanny-state liberals who want to control every aspect of your life, or die,'" he said to laughs and cheers outside a gun range. "It's not 'trust Hillary Clinton and her village to raise your kids and strip them of all their liberties or die.'"
STATE HOUSE — The past 10 years in Massachusetts have seen decreases in total crime, criminal case filings and convictions, researchers told a working group seeking avenues to reform the state's criminal justice system.
The bipartisan group, comprised of members from all branches of state government, reviewed an initial analysis from the Council on State Governments Justice Center that will serve as a starting point in their efforts to cut incarceration and recidivism rates, lower criminal justice costs and reinvest the savings in programs like re-entry services.
