Speaker 1: This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local.
Speaker 2: News, sun and clouds and cool but nice is fifty
Speaker 2: two degrees in Boston.
Speaker 3: It's eleven o'clock. Good Morning on Laurie Kirby. We start
Speaker 3: with early voting starting this Saturday. In Massachusetts. Bear Sky's
Speaker 3: two to get out the vote, and those four and
Speaker 3: against Measure two are speaking out. WBC. Sherry Small explains.
Speaker 4: Governor Moore Healy attending a No on Question two event
Speaker 4: in Roxbury on Wednesday, saying eliminating the MCAST requirement for
Speaker 4: graduation would be a mistake for Massachusetts.
Speaker 5: Question two, in our view, would eliminate a tool that
Speaker 5: we know works in terms of our ability to assess
Speaker 5: how our young people are doing, and frankly, what additional
Speaker 5: supports districts and schools need.
Speaker 4: The vote No on two campaign says, if passed, it
Speaker 4: could replace the MCAST with more than three hundred different
Speaker 4: and unequal standards.
Speaker 5: I don't believe that the standards should be different for
Speaker 5: students in our state depending on what zip code they're
Speaker 5: living in or attending school here.
Speaker 4: The Yes on two campaign released a statement saying it's
Speaker 4: disappointing that Governor Healy has chosen to side with a
Speaker 4: few corporate donors opposing Question two and against Massachusetts educators,
Speaker 4: parents and students. Sherry Small WBZ, Boston's News radio.
Speaker 3: Vice president Kamala Harris sits down for an interview on
Speaker 3: Fox News ABC's Mary Bruce with Moore on last night's events.

Speaker 6: Fox News, and it comes as she's trying to really
Speaker 6: win over disillusioned Republicans, those small, small sliver of voters
Speaker 6: that may still be persuaded with just nineteen days now
Speaker 6: left to go. And she was pressed on her record
Speaker 6: on immigration, the economy, foreign policy, and a lot of
Speaker 6: what are essentially Donald Trump's talking points in this race
Speaker 6: as well. But Harris pushed back and she's really trying
Speaker 6: to cast herself as a candidate of change.
Speaker 3: The interview took planes a Harris rally in Pennsylvania, where
Speaker 3: she was joined by dozens of Republicans, including former GOP
Speaker 3: lawmakers and ex Trump supporters. Meantime, on to former President Trump,
Speaker 3: he spoke at a town hall event on Univision and
Speaker 3: he was asked about the January sixth Capitol riots. Trump
Speaker 3: said his supporters quote didn't come because of me. They
