DENMARK, S.C. (AP) — The fight for black voters turned into a tug-of-war over President Barack Obama's legacy Friday as Democratic presidential hopefuls looked for an edge in South Carolina. Republicans, meanwhile, crisscrossed the state in search of a path out of Donald Trump's long shadow.
Hillary Clinton stepped up her hammering of rival Bernie Sanders for what she said are his false claims on Obama's legacy. Prominent black leaders echoed the theme — an effort to use the first African-American president as a wedge between Sanders and black voters.
BOSTON – A planned apartment tower near TD Garden in the West End won approval from the city's development agency Thursday, capping a nearly six-year effort to create hundreds of new apartments in the neighborhood between North Station and Massachusetts General Hospital.
The scaled-back project calls for a slightly shorter tower, at 447 feet high, and fewer parking spots, according to the Boston Redevelopment Authority, which gave its approval at a Thursday evening meeting. The $350 million building will house about 470 apartments and underground parking for 775 vehicles instead of 830.
