WASHINGTON (AP) — Big-name GOP leaders piled on Friday against Donald Trump in an extraordinary show of intraparty strife over his claim to the party's presidential nomination. Trump just shrugged it off, declaring they didn't really matter when compared to all the voters who turned out to cast ballots for him in this year's primary elections.
Trump grudgingly agreed to meet next week with Speaker Paul Ryan, the Republican leader of the House of Representatives whose statement a day earlier — he said he was not ready to embrace Trump's nomination — set off the intraparty fireworks. Trump said he had "no idea" if they would patch things up and it wasn't all that important anyway.
BOSTON – Formula changes that would let more state money flow to local school districts won praise Friday from labor and school leaders who also acknowledged that covering the nearly $432 million cost of the revisions poses a challenge.
Teachers union representatives, school committee members and administrators urged the Joint Committee on Education to support a bill that would implement adjustments to the school finance formula that were recommended last fall by the Foundation Budget Review Commission.
