00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:05.879
<v Speaker 1>This is WBZ, Boston's news radio, redefining local news.

2
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Clear Skies fifty two in Boston. It's eleven o'clock good

3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:19.399
<v Speaker 2>Friday morning. I'm Laurie Kirby. We start with a grim

4
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:22.920
<v Speaker 2>anniversary in New England today, all of us thinking of

5
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.920
<v Speaker 2>our friends in Maine, and today marks one year. Sin's

6
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>an Army reservist open fire in a bowling alley and

7
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>bar in Lewiston, Maine, and committed the deadliest mass shooting

8
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 2>in that state's history. WGME TV reporter Dan Lampriallo talks

9
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 2>about how the city has coped over the last twelve months.

10
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>There's still a lot of reflection on what happened. Today

11
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>is a somber day in our state. We are a

12
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 2>very close knit date.

13
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Speaker 3>So while it happened in Lewiston, which is one of

14
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 3>our largest cities, I think it impacted the far reaches

15
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 3>of a risted county near the Canadian border, all the

16
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 3>way down here to where we are in Portland.

17
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 2>A hockey arena in Lewiston will hold a ceremony tonight

18
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>to honor those who lost their lives that day and

19
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>the many survivors who will never be the same and

20
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 2>nearly one million people have voted so far in the Commonwealth.

21
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 2>The head of the November election, Secretary of State Galvin,

22
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 2>reporting nine hundred and thirteen thousand registered voters have voted

23
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>early so far as of four pm yesterday, and most

24
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 2>of the ballots have been mailed in. That's more than

25
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred thousand. Nearly two hundred thousand people have gone

26
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 2>to a polling location to vote early. This is a

27
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 2>very strong start to a high stakes election that will

28
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 2>decide our next president US senator in Massachusetts in the

29
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 2>future of the mcast exam as a graduation requirement for

30
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 2>one and a new ABC ipso's poll shed some light

31
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>on how American voters feel about their options this election.

32
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Nearly half of registered voter's poll considered former President Donald

33
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.479
<v Speaker 2>Trump to be a fascist. Twenty two percent say the

34
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>same about Vice President Harris. ABC political director Ricline has more.

35
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Among those who say that Donald Trump is a fascist,

36
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 3>eight percent say they're supporting him their voting for him anyway,

37
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 3>and while that fascist label isn't really sticking on Harris,

38
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 3>the idea of her pandering to voters seems to be

39
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Fifty seven percent of registered voters say that Harris makes

40
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 3>proposals just to get votes, not to make policy. That's

41
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 3>slightly more than people that feel the same way about

42
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump.

43
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Both presidential candidates are stumping for votes one way or

44
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.240
<v Speaker 2>another in the Lone Star State today. We'll have more

45
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 2>on that coming up and streaming on the iHeartRadio app.

46
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Sunshine out there, mid fifties now, it's certainly not as warm,

47
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>but it's bluer, you know. We've had that milky, hazy sky.

48
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Definitely a sunny sky. We've had record warmth this week,

49
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.479
<v Speaker 2>but this is much more blue and just a little

50
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 2>bit cooler. Not by a lot, but you can feel

51
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>it out there. Honidays sixty tonight's actually a little bit warmer.

52
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Forty nine in Boston, some of you in the forties Inland,

53
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 2>and we're having a nice Saturday. We were thinking it

54
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>might rain, especially north and western Boston. I don't see

55
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>rain in this forecast. Sun clouds sixty five. Another great

56
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 2>day for a hike. Sunday, sunny fifty four to fifty eight,

57
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.199
<v Speaker 2>cooling it down near fifty on Monday with lots of sun.

58
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 2>So rumor has it that it's going to be eighty

59
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>degrees on Halloween. The night the kids go out to

60
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 2>trick or treat. So Mom, dad, kids, you might want

61
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 2>to rethink the costume layers and Boston City councilors just

62
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>wrapped up a special emergency meeting amid a heated fight

63
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>over property taxes in the city. Let's get more from

64
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 2>wbz's Madison Rogers.

65
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:55.840
<v Speaker 4>It was just two days ago the mayor announced she'd

66
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 4>reached a compromise with business leaders, and it was shot

67
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 4>down by city Councilor at Lynn in an emergency meeting. Today,

68
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.159
<v Speaker 4>the new home rule petition, with a shorter and smaller

69
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 4>increased tax burden for commercial properties was sent to committee.

70
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 4>Counselors will likely take another vote next week. Some on

71
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 4>the council, including Flynn, are frustrated with how this is

72
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.360
<v Speaker 4>played out. This is this process is rushed. I don't

73
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 4>think we're doing the due diligence to all the constituents

74
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 4>by not operating in a transparent metal debate was cut

75
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 4>short today, but the dispute is only growing because a

76
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 4>budget shortfall threatens to fall on homeowners and times running out.

77
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 4>This would need to go to Beacon Hill again. Madison Rogers,

79

<v Speaker 2>six hundred million dollars in state funding to the TEA,

82
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 2>and state leaders call this their biggest infusion to the

83
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 2>MBTA in twenty years. So what is it for? The

84
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 2>money is year mark for track improvement, new subway and

88
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>on leave this morning. They're accused of working on private

89
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:24.600
<v Speaker 2>vehicles at the MBTA Cabotyard maintenance facility during work hours,

90
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 2>according to The Boston Globe. Now, this facility is where

91
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.959
<v Speaker 2>the Redline buses and vehicles are stored, where Redline track

92
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 2>workers and inspectors are based. This is in South Boston.

93
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 2>A T Transit police at this point are conducting the

94
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>probe into potential misconduct, but the new allegations come as

95
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>federal regulators review work and safety practices at the TEA.
