PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Democrats are hoping to use state conventions to unite supporters of Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders as fans of the two candidates engage in sometimes bitter disputes ahead of the presidential election.
The scenario is playing out Friday in Maine, where Democrats are divided between supporters of the Vermont senator and the former secretary of state.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington's beleaguered subway system will endure a year of rolling shutdowns and slowdowns in an effort to catch up on maintenance and improve safety and reliability.
Metro's general manager, Paul Wiedefeld, said Friday that his plan calls for squeezing three years' worth of maintenance into one year. He said Metro has fallen so far behind on maintenance that it's impossible to catch up while only doing track work on weekends and at night while the system is closed.
