Donald Trump's vacillation over hiking taxes on the wealthy and boosting the minimum wage opened huge target zones for critics from both the left and the right, and fed concerns among voters – even committed conservative Republicans – that they can't trust the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
In a back-and-forth session on the NBC News show "Meet the Press," broadcast Sunday, Trump seemed to step back from a tax plan that he unveiled last year and that called for broad tax cuts, including levies on the wealthiest Americans.
BOSTON – Among potential ballot measures that may go before voters in November, raising the cap on charter schools won the most support in a recently released survey of Massachusetts voters.
The proposed initiative asks voters to allow the creation of up to 12 new charter schools each year, with emphasis on adding these publicly funded institutions in low-performing districts as measured by standardized tests. Almost 50 percent said they approve of lifting the cap, while 33 percent disapproved and 16 percent were undecided in the Boston Globe-sponsored survey from Suffolk University in Boston.
