11
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>years later. Level. Remember the quarters were close, not too comfortable.

12
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>We were on the aircraft carrier and first things they

20
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.359
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Tompkins has been indicted by a federal grand jury.

21
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>The sheriff allegedly was involved in the purchase of an

22
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>equity interest in a Boston based cannabis company. Sheriff Tompkins

23
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>was taken into custody in Florida this morning after being

24
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>indicted by a federal grand jury on two cluns of extortion.

25
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>He'll eventually appear in federal court in Boston at a

26
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>later date. Thompson allegedly extorted fifty thousand dollars from the

27
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 1>owner of a national cannabis retailer seeking to do business

28
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 1>in Boston. The Trump administration is being challenged a legal

29
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 1>organization's leading the charge.

30
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.519
<v Speaker 3>The advocacy group Democracy Forward, is suing the Justice Department

31
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 3>and the FBI for records on their handling of the

32
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:54.359
<v Speaker 3>sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The legal organization wants

33
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 3>access to records related to communications about the case between

34
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 3>senior Administration of Fiefs, as well as any regarding correspondence

35
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.319
<v Speaker 3>between Epstein and President Trump. The group says it submitted

36
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.400
<v Speaker 3>requests under the Freedom of Information Act in late July

37
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 3>that have not been fulfilled. The federal government often shields

38
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 3>records related to criminal investigations from the public. The Justice

39
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Department did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

40
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.840
<v Speaker 3>The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Washington and

41
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.759
<v Speaker 3>appears to be the first of its kind. I'm Marcella Sanchez.

<v Speaker 2>Governor Mora Haley signs a new three hundred million dollar

43
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>infrastructure funding into law. Cities and towns will share the

44
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 2>funding to repair local roads and bridges over the next year,

45
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 2>with a third of the funding designated to rural communities.

46
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 2>The legislation is based on Governor Heilly's original proposal for

47
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 2>a one point five billion dollars funding over five year period.

48
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>The Transportation Committee later scaled it down and over concerns

<v Speaker 2>about federal funding. Brady and Bronze, The Patriots are set

50
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 2>to unveil a new statue honoring their legendary quarterback Tonight, Tom.

51
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 4>Terrific TB twelve, the Greatest of All Time, whatever you

52
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:02.840
<v Speaker 4>know him as. It's a day to celebrate the Great

53
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.680
<v Speaker 4>Tom Brady, as the Patriots unveilab to twelve foot tall

54
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.280
<v Speaker 4>bronze statue of him right under the lighthouse. Fans have

55
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 4>come in from all over the country for the ceremony,

56
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 4>like Brian and Laurie from Washington State.

57
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 2>The two thousands and twenty tens costs me a lot

58
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>of money between the Patriots, the Celtics, the Bruins, and

59
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>the Red Sox, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

60
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm originally from southern California, and yes, I've been adopted

61
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 5>by IM into a Patriots fan for over twenty five

62
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 5>years since I've been married to this wonderful man.

63
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 4>Not the worst time in investment to make, you know,

64
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 4>as a fan.

65
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 6>Right, absolutely not.

66
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 2>It's been an absolute, just a.

67
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Real joy to watch.

68
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:39.879

69
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:40.520
<v Speaker 4>the first time.

70
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 6>I'm so excited. I'm at a lost for words.

71
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 3>Really, i haven't seen Tom Brady in person, so I'm

72
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 3>hoping to get a glimpse.

75
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 2>the foreseeable future.

76
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Really.

77
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>The thing is, it's just going to get hotter and hotter.

78
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 2>But it is August, so I guess it should get

79
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 2>hot than hounter. Today was pretty nice, into the eighties

80
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 2>and the warmest spots upper seventies near the water. Tonight

81
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 2>clear and comfortable sixty in Boston, fifties in the suburbs.

82
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow a lot like today, a plenty of sunshine, low humidity,

83
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>mid seventies or so in Boston, mid eighties or so inland,

84
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>mainly clear Tomorrow night, and then Sunday we start to

85
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:21.759
<v Speaker 2>warm things up. We also start to add in a

86
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 2>little bit of humidity. It won't be bad on Sunday,

87
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>not oppressive by any means. Temperatures, though, we'll start to

88
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.319
<v Speaker 2>make a run well into the eighties, near ninety in

89
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>some spots, cooler over the Capean Islands. More humidity on Monday,

90
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 2>with temperatures in the low to mid nineties, and it

91
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 2>looks like we're going to hang onto the nineties and

92
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 2>the humidity for at least a while next week. Seventy

93

<v Speaker 2>eight degrees right now in Boston. Have you ever wanted

<v Speaker 7>Her name is Stevie. But the New England Wildlife Center

97
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.680

100
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.279
<v Speaker 8>Fiona Eedy and I think over at the top three.

101
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 7>Or there's also my favorite Vincent Van Got The center

102
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 7>CEO Zach Mertz says they came up with this idea

103
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.199
<v Speaker 7>to get the community involved and to raise awareness to

104
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 7>environmental issues in the state. You can vote for one

105

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 8>say they came up with the naming rights, but they'll

109

<v Speaker 8>also get a free newing of My Life Center T shirt.

110
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 8>And we sort of jokingly said, if they want to

111
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 8>help muck out the stalls, they have won that opportunity.

112
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 7>You don't actually have to muck out the stalls, but

113
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 7>they do always appreciate the help. Goat lovers have until

134
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:37.759

136
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 5>Of considering teaching in Lynn versus somewhere else, really no
