LOS ANGELES (AP) — Donald Trump's campaign said a computer error resulted in a prominent white nationalist being mistakenly included on a list of his potential California delegates, an embarrassment for a candidate who has been criticized before for being too slow to distance himself from former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
The campaign said in a statement Tuesday that the name has been withdrawn and a corrected list resubmitted to state officials.
BOSTON – State transportation system overseers are moving ahead on unwinding a series of swaps, sophisticated financial bets on the direction of interest rates, that have kept part of the state's transportation-related debt payments locked in at higher rates.
Terminating the interest-rate swaps with UBS and Deutsche Bank is part of a broader effort on the part of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and the state transportation department to get more favorable terms on its debt. It is sold by Wall Street banks, who earn significant fees from the transactions, as a way to hedge against the risk of higher costs on variable-rate debt, providing a kind of financial insurance.
