00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Still hanging on at forty nine degrees in cloudy skies

3
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:18.239
<v Speaker 2>in Boston. It's eleven o'clock on this Wednesday. Hello, and

4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 2>thanks for being with us. I'm Sherry Small. Here's what's happening.

5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.160
<v Speaker 2>At Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham, testimony resumes in the

6
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Karen Reid case after a slight delay this morning. The

7
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 2>judge met with each juror individually because of an unknown issue.

8
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 2>But our WBC's Emma Friedman will have more details that's

9
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:40.200
<v Speaker 2>coming up at eleven fifteen. In other news, another attack

10
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 2>on Harvard. This time Republicans in Congress are turning up

11
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 2>the heat, accusing Harvard of working with the Chinese Communist

12
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Party the Harvard Crimson Reporting. In a letter to Harvard

13
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 2>President Alan Garber, a House Select committee accuses Harvard of

14
00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:00.880
<v Speaker 2>hosting and training members of a CCP parliamentary organization and

15
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>using Department of Defense funding to partner with a China

16
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.680
<v Speaker 2>base scholars, with China based scholars, that is, with ties

17
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>to the People's Liberation Army. The Republicans threatened to pull

18
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 2>Harvard's tax exempt status if it worked with a Chinese

19
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:20.359
<v Speaker 2>based entity without proper disclosure. It's the same threat that

20
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.120
<v Speaker 2>President Trump levied against Harvard last month over allegations of

21
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 2>campus anti Semitism. Harvard says it can confirm that it

22
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 2>got the letter and it plans on responding now to Washington,

23
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Divided House Republicans are trying to move President Trump's massive

24
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 2>spending bill your CBS's Jared Hill.

25
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 3>Just after one am in Washington, the House Rules Committee

26
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:48.200
<v Speaker 3>gabled in to consider the Republican's massive budget package, clearing

27
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 3>the committee the final hurdle before heading to the full

28
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:51.920
<v Speaker 3>House for vote.

29
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>We're here to finish the job. Why are you trying

30
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to ram it through in the dead.

31
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 3>To night The late night session hours after President Donald

32
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 3>Trump rallied Republican support for what he calls his big,

33
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 3>beautiful bill on Capitol Hill.

34
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 4>I think we're going to get everything we want, and

35
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 4>I think we're gonna have a great figgate.

36
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 3>But party divisions have dogged the measure.

37
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Some conservatives are calling for quicker, steeper cuts to medicate

38
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>as well as a bigger state and local tax deduction.

39
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 2>The US Senate unanimously passes a no tax on tips bill.

40
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>The bill still needs House approval. Wbz's Jim McKay has

41
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 2>local reaction to the policy.

42
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 5>I don't think there should be a tax on tips.

43
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 4>Ted lives in Quincy and has family members who are

44
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 4>restaurant workers. He thinks this will be a huge boost.

45
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they work hard for their money.

46
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 4>The No Tax on Tips Bill would allow up to

47
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 4>twenty five thousand dollars in deductions on taxes for tipped

48
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 4>workers making up to one hundred and sixty thousand dollars

49
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 4>a year, and there are some exceptions. That's where it

50
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 4>could get complicated.

51
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>What I'm afraid of is they might redefine what is

52
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 1>a tip.

53
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 4>There has been some pushback, but in general, this has

54
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 4>the acting of President Trump and most in the House,

55
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 4>a rare bipartisan moment. Jason's girlfriend as a bartender. He

56
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 4>knows this will have an immediate impact.

57
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Being able to see more of that hit your bank

58
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>account will definitely.

59
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Help in Quincy.

68
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.719
<v Speaker 2>those poor drainage areas. We could also see some coastal

85

97
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 1>The Chicago suburb of Dalton, Illinois says it might use

98
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.720
<v Speaker 1>eminent domain to purchase the childhood home of Pope Leo.

99
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 1>The one story brick house was pulled off the market

100
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>when the new Pope was announced and is being renovated

101
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>and is due to be auctioned next month. Village mayor

102
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 1>Jason House says the idea is to make it a

103
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 1>historical site. Well, many look at it as the financial opportunity.

104
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 6>It's an obligation for us, and if we honor it properly,

105
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 6>everybody will get the chance to unite and rejoice in

106
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 6>the moment.

107
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>The village has sent a formal letter to the realty

108
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>company that owns the house, mentioning eminent domain as a possibility.

<v Speaker 1>Steve Kaithan, CBS News.

110
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Sales are down at Target. CBS is Michael Wallace with

113
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 6>The retailer says it sales fell two point eight percent

114
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:57.800
<v Speaker 6>during the first quarter and warns its sales for the

115
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:01.879
<v Speaker 6>year will also fall below expectations. Target blames tariff uncertainty

116
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 6>and backlash to its rollback of DEI programs, which prompted

117
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 6>some black pastors to call for a boycott of Target.

118
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.680
<v Speaker 6>Walmart announced strong quarterly sales last week, but groceries account

119
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.360
<v Speaker 6>for sixty percent of its business. Target is more reliant

120
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 6>on discretionary items like clothing and accessories.
