FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — Jasiel Correia is 24 years old, the maker of a smartphone app, a former shoe salesman – and this hard-luck former manufacturing hub's third mayor in 13 months.
Two weeks into his term, Correia is tackling the economic malaise that has depressed this waterfront city for decades. Also on his agenda is dumping the city's meek motto: "We'll try."
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich praised the New Hampshire Legislature on Wednesday for expanding Medicaid under the president's health care overhaul law — a rare move for GOP presidential contender — saying that the decision saved lives.
"I took $14 billion dollars over the next two years back to Ohio from Washington to meet our challenges, and you did it here. I want to compliment you for it," Kasich told the 400-member body. "Lives have been saved; people have some hope."
