BOSTON – A scaled-down design for the trolley extension to Somerville and Medford, aimed at reining in the project's bloated budget, appears consistent with the aims of the overall effort, according to a top official at the federal agency that pledged $1 billion to the earlier version.
In a Friday letter, Mary Beth Mello, regional administrator for the Federal Transit Administration, noted additional analysis is needed on the revised plans' accessibility, risks, and the state's ability to finance the endeavor.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Donald Trump on Friday slammed Hillary Clinton as "heartless" for backing restrictions on gun ownership that he said would leave Americans in high-crime areas unable to protect themselves. He also challenged Clinton to follow his lead and release a list of potential Supreme Court nominees.
Trump's remarks came at the National Rifle Association convention in Louisville, Kentucky. The gun rights organization endorsed the presumptive Republican nominee ahead of his remarks, despite Trump's previous support for measures like an assault weapons ban that the NRA vigorously opposes.
