BOSTON – The fate of the cost-burdened Green Line Extension depends in large part on the new budget that will be presented to transportation overseers at a meeting Monday.

LONDON (AP) — Labour Party politician Sadiq Khan, the son of a bus driver from Pakistan, led London's mayoral race Friday, opening a lead over Conservative rival Zac Goldsmith that left him poised to be the city's first Muslim mayor.
