STATE HOUSE — With just more than a week until New Hampshire residents go to the polls for the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, a new poll from the University of Massachusetts and 7News shows that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders hold big leads over their opponents.
Trump, the New York businessman and reality TV star who has run a campaign unlike any other in recent history, has the support of 38 percent of likely Republican primary voters surveyed over the weekend by UMass-Lowell and 7News.
Gov. Charlie Baker's $39.55 billion budget proposal was filed Wednesday and a hearing schedule on the spending plan emerged late Friday. It will take lawmakers From Boston to Amherst, Methuen, Springfield, Medford, and Everett and back to Boston again.
Hearings begin Tuesday at the State House where Baker's budget team will outline the governor's proposal and take questions from members of the House and Senate Ways and Means committees. Constitutional officers and the inspector general are also on the agenda Tuesday.
