2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.439
<v Speaker 1>four degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon, I'm

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Ben Parker. Here's what's happening. A change of plan sends

4
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:22.359
<v Speaker 1>the market skyward. Today. Stock surged after President Trump announced

5
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.839
<v Speaker 1>the ninety day pause on tariffs except for China. Tracy

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Junky said Bloomberg, watching numbers climb this high, we haven't

7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>done that in a while, have we traced?

8
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we've never really seen some of this, and

9
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.719
<v Speaker 2>then now up at twenty nine hundred and sixty two

10
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 2>points as we wait for the final numbers to come in.

11
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>The Nasdaq up eighteen hundred and fifty seven, the SMP

12
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 2>up four seventy four. Never have we seen larger point

13
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.560
<v Speaker 2>gains on these and the percentage changes a better way

14
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.560
<v Speaker 2>to compare performance are also exceptional, with the Nasdaq rising

15
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.200
<v Speaker 2>the most in a quarter century, and all it took

16
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>was a partial walk back of the Trump tariffs. President

17
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.599
<v Speaker 2>Trump said he is pausing most of his most aggressive

18
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>tariffs on many nations.

19
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Ben all right, mark this date, April ninth, Big day

<v Speaker 1>keep it tune to WBZ News Radio, and of course

25
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the administration is going to help navigate the choppy see

26
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>of tariffs.

27
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Businesses in Massachusetts. This administration we have your back no

28
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 3>matter what is coming from Washington, the chaos and uncertainty.

29
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 3>I will do everything in my power as governor and

30
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 3>our administration will to help you as a business succeed

31
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 3>in this time.

32
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>The governor's say, situation's President Trump would stop playing roundwid

33
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 1>tariffs and come up with a sensible plan that businesses

34
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 1>and families could plan for the city of Boston trying

35
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>to play a little defense as it looks forward to

36
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>the future. W bz's Hiles Shaffle has more from city

37
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Hall here, talk through next fiscal year's budget proposal with

38
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 1>a sense of caution.

39
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 4>Her plan is about a four percent increase over this

40
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 4>year's at four point eight billion dollars, but she says

41
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 4>the city is trying to scale back. That means no

42
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.240
<v Speaker 4>new jobs created on the city payroll.

43
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 5>Preparing for the worst case scenarios given federal uncertainty, while

44
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 5>not jumping ahead to slash city services that we know

45
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 5>are more critical than ever.

46
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 4>Most of the city's money draws heavily from property taxes

47
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 4>that can annoy residents, but Wu says it also insulates

48
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 4>the city from market shops. But she couldn't rule out

49
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 4>the possibility of the economy getting bad enough to cause

50
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 4>drastic workforce cuts.

51
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 5>It may very well get to the point where we

52
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 5>will need to be considering layoffs and hiring freezes.

57
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.879

58
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.680

59

72
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>did today, about fifty inland, but near the coast forties

73
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:43.800

74
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 1>in here later, and then that rain could mix with

75
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 1>a little wet snow north and west of the city.
