BOSTON – Donald Trump's decisive Republican primary victory shows Bay State voters are "disgusted with government," according to Speaker Robert DeLeo, the House of Representatives leader who said Friday it's unclear whether that distaste for Washington will trickle down to the state level.
The New York billionaire won Tuesday's primary with 49 percent of the vote, with Ohio Gov. John Kasich taking second with 18 percent. During an appearance on Boston Herald Radio, DeLeo, a Winthrop Democrat, credited Trump's win to his status as a political "outsider."
BOSTON – In the latest chapter of an ongoing debate around the number of Massachusetts students waiting for charter school seats, Auditor Suzanne Bump on Friday released an analysis finding that an updated waitlist could still lack accuracy.
On Feb. 18, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education announced that 34,000 children were on waitlists for seats in charter schools across the state, an update to an initial report indicating a 37,000-name list.
