BOSTON – Framingham will join Cambridge, Newton and more than a dozen other Bay State communities in banning plastic bags used by retailers to package goods including groceries starting in January 2018.
Acting on a citizen's petition "to eliminate the usage of thin-film single-use bags by all retail and grocery stores," Framingham Town Meeting members approved the move by a hefty majority Thursday, according to several reports. The initiative, modeled after others adopted in the state, is aimed at curbing pollution and litter, and easing the burden on recycling operations, according to the Town Meeting Warrant.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is refusing to disclose even what tax rate he pays until an audit of his tax returns is complete.
"It's none of your business," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee told ABC's "Good Morning America" when asked Friday what tax rate he pays. "You'll see it when I release. But I fight very hard to pay as little tax as possible."
