00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>This is w b Z, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Eleven o'clock. We're forty one degrees with some nice sunshine

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>in Boston, but rain is coming this afternoon. Achi weather

4
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 1>is coming up as well. But first, I'm Laurie Kirby,

5
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>and it's really good to be with you. Ballot Question

6
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 1>one that voters in the Commonwealth overwhelmingly approved in the

7
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>November election, looks bound for the court system. Just as

8
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>a refresher. This is the referendum that empowers the Massachusetts

9
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 1>State Auditor, Diana Desauglio, to audit the state Senate and

10
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>House of Representatives in Boston. But a recent vote by

11
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the House amended their own rules so that in the

12
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.439
<v Speaker 1>end Desaglio would have to hire an outside auditor to

13
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>do the work, not her. Now Former State Rep. Jim Lyons,

14
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>who was a biggie in the GOP party here, alleges

15
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 1>the rule change strips the Auditor's office of the authority

16
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>approved by voters in the Bay State. In fact, Salem

17
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>News says he filed the lawsuit last week in Suffolk

18
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Superior Court, asking the judge to overturn the House rule

19
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>and force State House lawmakers to comply with the will

20
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of the people and the new law which is set

21
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>to go into effect in January. And of course, another

22
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 1>big thing is happening in January, the swearing in of

23
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>President elect Donald Trump. And now, in his first TV

24
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>interviews since the election, President Elect Trump gives his top priorities.

25
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 1>On day one in the Oval office.

26
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 2>President elect Donald Trump is working to hit the ground running,

27
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 2>starting with his efforts on immigration. Trump confirming his plan

28
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 2>for mass deportations, starting with convicted criminals, but ultimately saying

29
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 2>they could include any immigrants in the country illegally, even

30
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>if they have children that are US citizens. Trump confirming

31
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 2>his plan to try to end birthright citizenship on day one,

32
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 2>even though it's enshrined in the fourteenth Amendment, suggesting he

33
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:10.520
<v Speaker 2>may try to amend the constitution.

34
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Mister Trump spoke with Meet the Press moderator Kristin Welker.

35
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>By the way, some leads still no arrest in New York,

36
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 1>the hunt for the suspect and the broad daylight killing

37
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 1>of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson goes on and ABC's

38
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Kotursky tells us where that investigation stands.

39
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Hundreds of tips are pouring in and thousands of police

40
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 3>officers are cycling through a man hunt that is now nationwide.

41
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 3>Police have yet to recover the bike or the murder weapon.

42
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 3>NYPD divers spent the weekend searching a pond near the

43
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.000
<v Speaker 3>spot where officers found what they think is the suspect's backpack.

44
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 3>It contained a Tommy Hillfiger jacket and monopoly money. Detectives

45
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 3>are working to determine whether the play money was meant

46
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 3>to some sort of statement.

47
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>The FBI is now offering a fifty thousand dollars reward

48
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 1>for information leading to an arrest and a conviction, and why,

49
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>PD said is just a matter of time and more

50
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>uncertainty in the Middle East this morning, after Syrian rebels

51
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 1>toppled the regime of b Al Assad, the Biden administration

52
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 1>says it's good Asad is out, but the future of

53
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Syria is up in the air.

54
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 4>White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says it's good

55
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 4>for the US and the world that the Assad regime

56
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 4>was brought down in Syria, but Sullivan reiterated the President's

57
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 4>warning about the potential for a power vacuum now in

58
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.120
<v Speaker 4>Syria and the risk that brings.

59
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 5>There's an opportunity to build something better in Syria, but

60
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 5>there is concern that terrorists, jihadists and other people who

61
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 5>do not have the United States best interests at hart

62
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 5>to say the least, could take advantage of this.

63
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Karen Travers, ABC News Washington coming up Beacon Hill, expected

64
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to take up another shot a Marriwu's controversial home rule petition.

65
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>This may be the best of the weather until Thursday.

66
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>What you're getting right now, our timeline for some rain

67
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.159
<v Speaker 1>today four o'clock. I saw that for Bronton, but again

68
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>all of us getting some rain, a little bit of

69
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 1>drizzle tonight in fog. We're in the high thirties tonight,

70
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 1>and that's significant because that's the Boston temp. So we

71
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>know that some of you will be cooler and could

72
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 1>see those snow flurries. I imagine northern New Hampshire and southern

73
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 1>New Hampshire is going to be getting some snow that

74
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 1>could kind of drift our way too. But it's Tuesday

75
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and Wednesday that we're eyeing some significant rain, especially Wednesday

76
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>with a thunderstorm and gusty winds and the chance of flooding,

77
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.199
<v Speaker 1>so it gets messy. Thursday we dry up beautiful, we

78
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 1>warm up lots of sunshine, and we'll have more coming up.

79
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I want to go back to Beacon Hill. After several delays,

80
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.079
<v Speaker 1>the State Senate today is expected to take up Mayor

81
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 1>Wu's home rule petition request, which allows Boston in the

82
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>short term to shift more of the property tax burden

83
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 1>onto commercial owners. This is too offset declining office value

84
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>in the city, and we've seen that since the pandemic

85
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.519
<v Speaker 1>and so many people went remote. But there may be

86
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.879
<v Speaker 1>a shift in the political winds and it may not

87
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 1>be to Mayor Wu's favor here. A new tax estimate

88
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 1>last week put the blow to residents at ten percent

89
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>rather than fourteen percent, and business groups looked at that

90
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 1>and said, ha, this isn't as bad as we thought.

91
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we should back off this hike. They want lawmakers

92
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>to hit the brakes and talk about this a little

93
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 1>bit more. Mayor Wu was frustrated, reportedly still pushing hard

94
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>for passage, and the bill has already cleared the House.

95
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.120
<v Speaker 1>We'll see. We'll follow up on that for you, as

96
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>we always do. A local wildlife group comes to the

97

<v Speaker 1>Center doctor Pria Patel.

100
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 6>As birds become oiled, their feathers become contaminated with the

101
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 6>oil and it interrupts their waterproofing, so they become very

102
00:05:58.759 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 6>cold and hypothermic.

103
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 7>That's exactly why Jane knew how sprang into action as well.

104
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 7>The local wildlife rescuer came to Brookline Sunday night after

105
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:10.600
<v Speaker 7>learning the birds were in trouble.

106
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Our phone started blowing up this afternoon.

107
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 2>We are just kind of standing by in case.

108
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:16.720

110
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 7>those calls. There's a lot of ducks that just need

111
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:27.680
<v Speaker 7>scooping up and picking up and transporting it.

112
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.040
<v Speaker 6>Getting these animals into care as fast as we can

113
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 6>is going to be what is the difference between them
