The leader of a working group pushing for construction of a rail link connecting North and South stations is urging action to get underway on a feasibility study of the project, and is willing to compromise on what the scope an analysis should look like.
Reacting to comments made by Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack, who suggested examination of the ideas submitted by the North South Rail Link Working Group last month could exceed the $2 million allocation from the state for the study, former Gov. Michael Dukakis said he'd be okay with paring back the scope of the study for the sake of urgency.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Orlando gunman Omar Mateen spoke in Arabic to a 911 dispatcher, identified himself an Islamic soldier and demanded to a crisis negotiator that the U.S. "stop bombing Syria and Iraq," according to transcripts released by the FBI on Monday.
The partial, printed transcripts were of three conversations Mateen had with the police during the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history, in which 49 people died and dozens were wounded.
