BOSTON — The state's transportation department would devote 80 percent of its more than $14.3 billion capital dollars to system improvement and modernization with roughly equal investments in transit and rail as would be spent on roads and bridges, under a plan presented Wednesday.
"It's focused on improving the reliability of the existing transportation system," Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack told the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Board of Directors on Wednesday. She said, "That's really where we can benefit the most people."
WASHINGTON (AP) — Newly released emails show a 2009 request to issue a secure government smartphone to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was denied by the National Security Agency.
