BOSTON – Officials of Boston's financially beleaguered transit system revealed Monday that the top-paid worker on the T has received over $300,000 so far this year, including about 2,600 hours of overtime, while the system's general manager said fares will begin rising starting July 1.
Almost a quarter of the employees who drive the buses, trolleys and subway trains for the deficit-ridden Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority got paid more than $100,000 this year, Brian Shortsleeve, the MBTA's chief administrator, told the Fiscal and Management Control Board that oversees the T on Monday, State House News Service reported.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A driver with a 3-year-old in her car repeatedly smashed into crowds of visitors on the Las Vegas Strip, killing a woman from Arizona and injuring dozens of others, authorities said.
Video of the car plowing into pedestrians in front of the Paris and Planet Hollywood casino-hotels "looks like it's very intentional," police Capt. Brett Zimmerman said Monday. The 1996 Oldsmobile sedan was fully on the sidewalk twice Sunday evening, including once when it traveled for 200 feet.
