WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan on Sunday ruled out a comprehensive overhaul of the immigration system while President Barack Obama is in office.
The new leader of the Republican-controlled House said in several interviews Sunday that he will not work with Obama because the president went around Congress with an executive order to shield from deportation millions of people living here illegally.
Boston voters get a chance to reflect their sentiments in the polling booth on Tuesday regarding a 14 percent pay raise the City Council gave itself last week.
Several of those who backed the increase face opponents in their bids for re-election, including three district councilors. Only one challenger is running for an at-large seat, so at least one of those incumbents will be re-elected, including one of the two who favored the pay raise.
