BOSTON – Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said Monday he "appreciated" the changes made to the House version of the controversial "bathroom bill" unveiled Friday, while Senate President Stanley Rosenberg, an Amherst Democrat, said he was still reviewing the additional language, which gives the attorney general a role in dealing with assertions of gender identity for "an improper purpose."
Speaker Robert DeLeo said he supports the revised bill but would wait to take action in the House of Representatives until after the Senate debates its version of the measure, which doesn't have the revisions, and a vote on May 12. The joint Committee on the Judiciary voted to recommend both versions to the full legislature on Friday.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton raised about $26 million in April for her primary race against Bernie Sanders, her campaign said, as her rival's fundraising juggernaut slowed.
Sanders' take for April was a little under Clinton's, marking a steep decline from the $46 million he raised in March. He did not report how much money he has on hand, raising questions about whether he can sustain his long-robust online fundraising as his path to the nomination narrows.
