00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>city's mayor. In the post on social media, Mayor Sam

8
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Squalia says the victim was rushed to the hospital with

9
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>non life threatening injuries. The stabbing at good Rich Academy

10
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>appears to have been targeted the fifteen year old suspect

11
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>who's taken into custody and has been charged with assault

12
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 1>and battery. The school briefly was placed on lockdown. Students

<v Speaker 1>who are dismissed around free. The investigation continues. Which is

14
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 1>six days now from election day, Vice President Kamala Harris

15
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.719
<v Speaker 1>campaigning in the battleground state of North Carolina, focusing on

16
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 1>a message of unity.

17
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Vice President Harris took her closing argument message out to

18
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 2>the battleground campaign trail today supporters in Raleigh, North Carolina,

19
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 2>emphasizing a message of unity. The vast majority of us

20
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 2>have so much more in common than what.

21
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:15.959
<v Speaker 3>Separates us, and we are all in this together.

22
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>The Vice president again called out Donald Trump for calling

23
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 2>people who disagree with him the enemy, and pledged to

24
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 2>be a president for all Americans. Karen Travers ABC News

<v Speaker 1>Harris also has events in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin today. Meantime,

27
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Former President Donald Trump was in Rocky Mount, North Carolina,

28
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>addressing comments President Biden made during a campaign event with

29
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.599
<v Speaker 1>Latinos where he appeared to call Trump supporters garbage. Following

30
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 1>remarks from a comedian over the weekend at a Trump rally.

31
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 1>That comedian called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.

32
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Former President Trump says his supporters are far better quality.

33
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 1>Big there's four more years of gross incompetence, the most corrupt,

34
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 1>horrible people. These are horrible people. Oops.

35
00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 3>We should get along with everybody.

36
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 1>They're horrible people. The former president has another rally this

37
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 1>evening in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he will appear with

<v Speaker 1>former Packers quarterback Brett farm A step forward from Boston's

39
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>tax plan, the latest one the Boston City Council voting

40
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>twelve to one in favor of Mayor Woo's home rule petition,

41
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>reflecting a revised approach to reclassifying city property taxes. City

00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 1>officials looking to gain the ability to temporarily adjust rates

43
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>beyond limits allowed under state law to mitigate impacts of

44
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>declining commercial value. Last week, the mayor submitted a redrafted

45
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>plan after reaching a compromise with business groups. This measure

46
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>still needs to get through the state legislature and the

47
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>governor's desk to effect upcoming tax bills. A little less

48
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>gross when it comes to the gross domestic product, as

49
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 1>in Biden is reacting.

50
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 3>In a statement, the President said the GDP report quote

51
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Speaker 3>shows how far we've come since I took office, from

52
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 3>the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression to the

53
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 3>strongest economy in the world. The President added, we need

54
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.879
<v Speaker 3>to keep building on this progress, said Republicans proposing across

55
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 3>the board tariffs would cost families nearly four thousand dollars

56
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 3>a year, reignite inflation, and kill hundreds of thousands of jobs.

57
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 3>Biden also repeated that the best way to grow the

58
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 3>economy is from the middle out and the bottom up,

59
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 3>not the top down. Lindy Kenyon CBS News, the White House.

60
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>We have had a fairly mild day, not everywhere though.

61
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>We've hung in the low sixties in some spots though

62
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>we've gotten into the low seventies and others, so it

63
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 1>just depends on where you are. We've had some sunshine around,

64
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>also some clouds and a little bit of a smoky

65
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>haze from time to time, partly cloudy. Tonight it will

66
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 1>be on the milder side, certainly for the end of

67
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>October fifty seven in Boston, about fifty in the suburbs.

68
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow we're going to warm things up nicely into the

69
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.360
<v Speaker 1>upper seventies. Probably will not make the record of eighty

70
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>one said in Boston in nineteen forty six, but nonetheless

71
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>it will be a pretty warm day with sunshine around

72
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 1>and a little bit of a breeze. Tricker treaders will

73
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.479
<v Speaker 1>enjoy going out in temperatures in the seventies low seventies,

74
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 1>probably for most of the trick or treaders. Later Tomorrow

75
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 1>night will be partly cloudy with temperatures in the mid sixties,

76
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 1>and then Friday still near record warmth. The record on

77
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Friday is only seventy seven, so we got a chance

78
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>of getting there. It'll be in the mid to upper seventies,

79
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>so we'll see sunshine around later in the day after

80
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>a couple of showers. Early Saturday and Sunday will feature sunshine,

81
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 1>so that's nice, but will also feature temperatures in the

82
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>mid fifties. But then again, it'll be the beginning of

83
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 1>November then, so what do you expect sixty five? Right now?

84
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.759
<v Speaker 1>In Boston, The Pink House in Newbury hard to miss

85
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 1>as you make your way down the Plumb Island Turnpike,

86
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>and the aging home has been the center of a

87
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 1>fight between residents and the Feds for years. Despite recent

88
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>moves to take it down, the house is it's going

89
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 1>to stay, at least for now. Wdbz's Nicole Davis with more.

90
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 4>People from all over the world love the Pink House

91
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 4>for artistic inspiration, but the home itself is not in

92
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 4>great shape. The Fed say it's full of asbestos, mold

93
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.199
<v Speaker 4>and has water in the basement. They call it dilapidated

94
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 4>and a safety hazard. There have been efforts to try

95
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 4>to save it over the years. A land exchange program

96
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.199
<v Speaker 4>not working out, a government auction for somebody to buy

97
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 4>up the building and move it ended without one bid.

98
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 4>Even recently, there was an anonymous offer of a million

99
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 4>dollars to preserve the home. All that being said, work

100
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 4>has started to prepare the building for demolition, but now

101
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 4>the process has been stopped by Governor more Heally. She says,

102
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.279
<v Speaker 4>more conversations have to be had with all the stakeholders

103
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 4>to find the best path forward. Rachelle Joseph, president of

104
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 4>the advocacy group Support the Pink House, says she and

105
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 4>many others in.

106
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 5>Town are entirely grateful to Governor Healey and to Senator

107
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 5>Bruce Tarr and Rep. Kazner for stepping forward and representing

108
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 5>those voices.

110
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Local police say a noisy car modification is crossing the

111
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 1>line from disruptive to dangerous. Wdbzy's Madison Rogers explains, is.

112
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 5>It the sound of someone online showing off what's called

113
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 5>a modified straight pipe exhaust That popping sound mimics gunfire

114
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.839
<v Speaker 5>and Somerville police say it's not just causing panic for neighbors,

115
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.399
<v Speaker 5>it's setting off their gunfire detection systems. Please tell me.

116
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.920
<v Speaker 5>At least twice recently they've rush to the area of

117
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 5>Foss Park for a potential shooting, only to find it

118
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 5>with some troublemaker with a tricked out car. That rapid

119
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 5>response itself also creates a greater risk that someone will

120
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 5>get hurt in a crash. Police are trying to remind

121
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 5>folks that any modified exhaust is illegal in Massachusetts. It

122
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 5>should be noted groups like the ACLU have criticized the

123
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.120
<v Speaker 5>use of shot spotter systems, partly because they're prone to

124
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 5>these kinds of false alarms. In East Summerville, I'm Madison
