NORTH CANTON, Ohio (AP) — The tumultuous presidential primary season barreled toward a potentially decisive day for both Republicans and Democrats, with enough delegates up for grabs Tuesday to turn Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton from front-runners to likely nominees.
The biggest prizes are Florida and Ohio, states with a long history of making or breaking White House aspirations. Missouri, Illinois, and North Carolina also offer a crucial cache of delegates that could help Trump and Clinton pull further away from their rivals.
BOSTON – The clock is ticking to pull the plug or put a bill before Bay State lawmakers that would make physician-assisted suicide legal in Massachusetts, as the Joint Committee on Public Health has until Wednesday to recommend action on the measure.
The bill (HB 1991) began its legislative journey anew at the beginning of last year after an identical measure failed in the previous session. It was refiled in January 2015 by state Rep. Louis Kafka (D-Stoughton), which led to an October hearing before the public health committee. Massachusetts voters rejected a similar measure when it appeared on the 2012 general election ballot.
