WASHINGTON (AP) — If rebel conservatives and establishment Republicans in the House can agree on anything, it's likely supporting Paul Ryan for speaker.
Across the Sunday talk shows, members of the Freedom Caucus that helped drive Speaker John Boehner toward retirement said they could swing behind Ryan in the wide-open race for a successor. That's what Boehner and his allies want, too. But the fragile, theoretical consensus falls apart over just how the speaker should wield power.
Massachusetts should get its "fair share" of wagering on popular fantasy sports sites, according to House Speaker Robert DeLeo, who said the growing industry could be the subject of legislation or regulation through the executive branch.
During a WCVB-TV "On the Record" interview, the Winthrop Democrat who holds great power over which bills emerge for votes and which do not, also said he's open to hearing arguments from proponents of banning drivers from using handheld devices and said transportation companies like Uber "have to play by some of the rules of the taxi service."
