STATE HOUSE — With new regulations on overtime for personal care attendants now in effect, advocates gathered outside Gov. Charlie Baker's office Thursday to protest the changes they said could make it harder for people with disabilities to live independently.
Thursday marked the beginning of an eight-week transition period for MassHealth's new personal care attendant overtime management policy. According to the Disability Policy Consortium, the policy will cap the number of hours that PCAs can work at 40 hours per week, with some exceptions up to 60 hours a week.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton hauled in $143 million in August for her presidential bid and the Democratic party, her best month yet in a fundraising push that lays the groundwork for her fall campaign.
The Democratic nominee brought in $62 million for her campaign last month and another $81 million for the Democratic National Committee and state parties. Clinton begins September with more than $68 million in the bank for her campaign against rival Donald Trump.
