12
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>about the relationship to city hall employees. According to a

13
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>grand jury indictment handed down yesterday, the money came from

14
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.079

20
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 2>enrichment of one instead of the greater good of all.

21
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.799
<v Speaker 1>US attorney Josh Levy says Bernandas Anderson was motivated by

22
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 1>financial hardship caused in part by a five thousand dollars

<v Speaker 2>A killer remains on the loose two days after the

<v Speaker 2>CEO of United Healthcare was gunned down fatally in the

29
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.239

30
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 2>security camera footage in an effort to retrace the gunman

31
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 2>steps in the days before the shooting. Aby's's Aaron Kotursky report.

32
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 3>They have him all over the city, focused on this

33
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.200
<v Speaker 3>ten day period from when he arrived November twenty fourth

34
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 3>to the day of the shooting December fourth. He was

35
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 3>in a taxi, he went to a McDonald's, he went

36
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 3>to the Starbucks, and he paid cash, and he made

37
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 3>sure to keep his mask on.

38
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Investigators believe the suspect may have taken a bus to

39
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>New York all the way from Atleta, and they believe

40
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 2>it was a targeted killing. They don't think the suspect

41
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>was a professional hit man. And a Boston senator DeLay's

42

<v Speaker 2>action on Mayor Wu's controversial home rule petition for the

43
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 2>second time this week after new data is released about

44
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 2>the city's property tax outlook. Senator Nick Collins says they

45
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 2>need time to consider their decision in the light of

46
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>this new data, which shows Boston residents would not pay

47
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 2>fourteen percent more in property taxes, but more like ten

48
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and a half percent more. The lower tax estimate also

49
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>has the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce and several other

50
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>business groups rethinking the compromise plan they drafted with Mayor Wu,

51
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>to be continued certainly next week on Beacon Hill. And

52
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 2>the job market bounces back big time from a two

53
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm in October, even as unemployment ticks up. ABC's Brian

54

55
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 4>That the November jobs report, highlighting the resilience of the

56
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 4>labor market. It beat expectations with two hundred and twenty

57
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 4>seven thousand private sector jobs added last month. The revision

58
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.120
<v Speaker 4>to the September and October reports also promising fifty six

59
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 4>thousand more jobs added for those two months, including twenty

60
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 4>four thousand four October, when hurricanes and strikes kept the

61
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.280
<v Speaker 4>number low. All this could set the stage for another

62
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 4>interest rate cut when the Fed meets later this month.

<v Speaker 4>Brian Clark ABC News.

64
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 2>In terms of weather searching, and this is where our

65
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 2>stronger wind gust star Provincetown wins sustain wins right now

66
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 2>out of the northwest at twenty nine to thirty miles

67
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>an hour. So this is the strongest wind gust I'm seeing,

68
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 2>but they could bload of forty even fifty miles per

69
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.039
<v Speaker 2>hour elsewhere throughout the day. I am seeing on the

70
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Doppler what looks like a snowfloury just west of Danvers.

71
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 2>And in this forecast from Aquare, I'm also seeing a

72
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 2>little bit of snow and rain on Sunday morning. Believe

73
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.800
<v Speaker 2>it or not, we'll have a lot more on that

74
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>coming up. Good morning. The Marvelhead School Committee is trying

75
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.479
<v Speaker 2>to decide how to make up the ten days that

76
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>students lost during last month's teachers strike. Last night, they

77
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>opted to hold class on the Monday before Christmas. That

78
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 2>would leave nine more days to make up. The Salem

79
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 2>News says the committee is weighing two options. Option one

80
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 2>would shave days off the February and Spring vacation breaks

81
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 2>and add an extra day of class in June, heading

82
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>into summer. Option two would only sacrifice the February break,

83
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.199
<v Speaker 2>but it would also push graduation back. Parents, you get

84
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 2>to weigh in. A survey will be coming your way

85
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>by next week. So many of us text nowadays, and

86
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 2>the fbis out with another cybersecurity warning, Watch what you

87
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 2>say over text. Christina rex was CBS News Boston has

88
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 2>More was cybersecurity expert Peter Tran how to protect your privacy.

89
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 3>The rule of thumb is don't text message anything that

90
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 3>you wouldn't grab a bullhorn and say in the middle

91
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 3>of Harvard Square.

92
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Like your social security number or your credit card information.

93
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 2>I think my mom might have sent me that by text.

94
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Actually once, I should probably look at that. If you're

95
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 2>concerned about hackers in your texts, you can use encrypted

96
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 2>texting programs or that's a rare solution these days. Well,

97
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 2>of course, of course.

98
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:35.199
<v Speaker 1>I never talked to my daughter. The only way I

99
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>get to hers through a text.

100
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.879
<v Speaker 2>And this is all based on a recent FBI investigation

101
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>that uncovered a broad cyber espionage campaign by the Chinese government.

104
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.800

105
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson restricting which bathrooms transgender people

106
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:15.480
<v Speaker 2>are allowed to use on Capitol Hill. Johnson announced the

107
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>rule weeks before Representative Alex Sarah McBride is set to

108
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.480
