00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Road to the White House. Vice President Harris, who's deeped

7
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.640
<v Speaker 2>into a media blitz less than two weeks out from

8
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 2>election day. She sat for an interview with NBC last night,

9
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>and ABC's Mary Bruce tells us about.

10
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:39.399
<v Speaker 3>It overnight, Harris again saying Trump tried to undo a

11
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 3>free and fair election and that this is part of

12
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 3>the very serious choice that is now facing voters. She

13
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 3>was also pressed on the role sexism and racism maybe

14
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 3>playing in this campaign, as Harris could now potentially make history,

15
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 3>but she made it clear she's running on her record,

16
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 3>not her identity, saying voters are making a choice based

17
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 3>on substance, not electing someone based on gender or race.

18
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>And Vince President. Harris will appear on CNN tonight for

19
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 2>a town hall with undecided voters from the battleground state

20
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:11.719

21
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 2>new criticisms from his former chief of staff, John Kelly.

22
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>HER's ABC Stephen Portnoy with that the.

23
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Trump campaign furiously denies that the former president ever said

24
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>what John Kelly says Trump said, But the former White

25
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>House chief of Staff and retired Marine general is adamant

26
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 1>he heard what he heard, Telling the New York Times

27
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>he caught.

28
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 4>As it more than on said the Hitler did some

29
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 4>good things too.

30
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Kelly went on to echo a former Joint Chief's chairman,

31
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>Mark Milly, told author Bob Woodward that Trump meets the

32
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Speaker 1>definition of a fascist. Trump's campaign says that Kelly has

33
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 1>quote totally beclowned himself. Stephen port Noy, ABC News Washington.

34
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Lynnfield holds a public hearing tonight on controversial MBTA's zoning

35
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>that The meeting is going to be held over the

36
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 2>al Merritt Center on Market Street starting at six thirty pm.

37
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Residents of Linfield, you were urged to come out tonight

38
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 2>and share your thoughts, your concerns, ask questions about changing

39
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 2>the zoning in parts of town to allow for the

40
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.960
<v Speaker 2>building of multifamily units. This mandate is part of a

41
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>statewide push to create more housing near public transportation. Now

42
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 2>town meeting votes on the controversial issue in just a

43
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>few weeks. We'll have more on that as it happens.

44
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>And now to Norton, and this is going, you know,

45
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>town to town here. Norton is also strongly questioning the

46
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>MBTA's strict new law requirements. At last night's town meeting,

47
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 2>residents voted against approving the new zoning by laws and

48
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>opted instead to table it until the spring. The select

49
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Board voted to oppose the by law. Earlier this month,

50
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 2>the district would have been rezoned for multi family housing

51
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>right near the golf course in Norton on Route one

52
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>point forty, but again they're voting to table that for

53
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 2>a few months. Whether front, there's a hurricane in the

54
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Pacific Ocean today, Hurricane Christy, which just was strengthened to

55
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 2>a Cat three storm by the national folks. This is

56
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 2>again in the Pacific. It's not going to impact us here,

57
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>but just seeing that flashing now mostly sunny, breezy, high

58
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>seventy five, dry to day. It was very foggy this morning,

59
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 2>and it's going to be pretty cloudy tonight with the

60
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 2>chances of rain drops quite late maybe first thing tomorrow morning.

61
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>That's still on target here We're in the fifties in

62
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 2>the cooler birds tonight near sixty along the coast, mostly sunny, breezy,

63
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>high sixty five tomorrow, Friday, sun and sixty. So we're

64
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 2>incrementally going down by about five degrees every day. But

65
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's all relative. We were at a record

66
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 2>high of eighty three degrees in spots earlier this week.

67
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 2>All right in. The heat is on on Beacon Hill.

68
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 2>The Massachusetts State Auditor is accusing lawmakers of refusing to

69
00:03:56.639 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 2>be transparent, and WBC's Mike maclin and gives us the deal.

70
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.599
<v Speaker 5>It is immral and unethical for any politician up on

71
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.159
<v Speaker 5>Beacon Hill to withhold information about how taxpayer dollars are

72
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 5>being spent.

73
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 6>State Auditor Diana Desauglio took direct aim at Hobson Senate

74
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 6>leaders as she released a highly critical audit of the legislature,

75
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.720
<v Speaker 6>accusing them of failing to live up to their constitutional

76
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.480
<v Speaker 6>responsibilities with respect to accountability.

77
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.920
<v Speaker 5>It is our duty as elected officials to abide by

78
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.279
<v Speaker 5>the Constitution, which says that we are at all times

79
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 5>accountable to the people.

80
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 6>Legislative leaders fired back, accusing Dizaglio of political grand standing

81
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 6>and trying to violate the separation of powers in state government.

82
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 5>Separation of powers and the Constitution of this Commonwealth exists

83
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:49.879
<v Speaker 5>to protect the people and not the politicians.

84
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 6>At the State Housepike Macklin WBZ, Boston's news radio.

85
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Whimsay based Stop and Shop is closing eight Massachusetts stores

86
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 2>by the end of this moth and now we have

87
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the list. Stop and Shop is closing supermarkets in Brockton, Raynham, Halifax,

88
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Shrewsbury and Newton, and is shutting down one of their

89
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>two stores in Springfield, the one on Cooley Street. The

90
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Stop and Shop on West Boylston and Woocester is closing.

91
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.519
<v Speaker 2>The Stop and Shop on Mattachisaid Street in Pembroke is closing.

92
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.120
<v Speaker 2>And the closures come amid a wave of retail endings

93
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 2>from bob stores to Christmas tree shops. We saw big lots,

94
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 2>bed bath and beyond going to the great retail beyond.

95
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 2>But it could be coming back like a phoenix. Apparently

96
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 2>there's reports of that as well. We'll see. Okay, just

97
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.639
<v Speaker 2>when you thought I'm going to the drive through and

98
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 2>getting me a burger, health officials link Mickey DA's quarter

99
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>pounders to a deadly e Coli outbreak. I want to

100
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.439
<v Speaker 2>add this that we don't have any Massachusetts stats supporting

101
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 2>anybody getting sick here. We're looking into it. Brian Shook

102

<v Speaker 2>has more.

103
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:03.560
<v Speaker 4>On Tuesday, this announced they're working with McDonald's to determine

104
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 4>what ingredient in the burgers was contaminated. The fast food

105
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.600
<v Speaker 4>chain has halted use of fresh onions and quarter pound

106
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.279
<v Speaker 4>beef patties in several states as a precaution. At least

107
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 4>forty nine people in ten different states were sickened, and

108
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 4>one person has died. Cases have been reported in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah, Wisconsin,
