00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:24.239

5
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>is turning a critical corner that will see the state

6
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 2>cut ties with a bankrupt hospital operator. After a rare

7
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Sunday hearing in bankruptcy court, it's expected the sale will

8
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>close today on the remaining hospitals that Stewart still controls

9
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:44.600

00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:02.479
<v Speaker 2>Saint Elizabeth in Brighton. Stewart's CEO, Ralph de Latouri, is

14
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 2>expected to formally step down tomorrow. He's still facing subpoenas

15
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>in Washington, but the transfers of ownership will be over

16
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 2>by tomorrow as well. And of course we are your

17

26
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.400

00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.359
<v Speaker 3>soon as it's possible without disrupting emergency response operations. Karen Travers,

34
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>of the damage in Georgia today, and the vice presidential

35
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 2>candidates are gearing up for their first and only debate

36
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow night. CBS is Wendy Jillette with a preview of that.

37
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 4>The debate between Ohio Senator JD Vance and Minnesota Governor

38
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 4>Tim Walls will serve different purposes for the candidates. According

39
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 4>to former New York Democratic Legislator Josh Laffazan, he says

40
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 4>Vance must demonstrate likability.

41
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 5>In his own home region. He is a twenty eight

42
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 5>percent favorability compared to forty four percent on favorability.

43
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 4>He says it's more about policy.

44
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 5>For Walls, he has to show those moderate credentials for

45
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 5>voters in those swing states who perhaps think he might

46
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 5>be too liberal on policy.

47
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:56.240
<v Speaker 4>The debate will be held at the CBS Broadcast Center

48
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.719

52
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>very calm. We do have some high clouds. These are

53
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.800
<v Speaker 2>not rain clouds. In fact, the only precipitation I see

54
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>is tomorrow morning, a spotty drizzle perhaps as we go

55
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.960
<v Speaker 2>back to work, but fine for this Monday. Seventy four

56
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>are high inland, sixty eight along the coast, Sun and clouds.

57
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 2>We cloud up substantially tonight ahead of that little bit

58
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>of drizzle tomorrow, and then it's going to be cloudy tomorrow.

59
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>But we're in the sixties the higher end as well.

63
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 2>schools in Lynn this morning, and wbz's Jay Willette tells us.

64
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 6>Why all the commotion outside Lynn Classical High and seven

65
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 6>other schools for walk ins gathered against the city's KIP

66
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.400

67
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.039

<v Speaker 2>it early college.

69
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 6>Win Teachers Union president Shila O'Neil tells me the plan

70
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 6>would slash some twenty four million off the public budget.

71
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Special programs that we have across the city for our students,

72
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>those would be decimated.

73
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 6>When Public school superintendent doctor von Albare says, the response

74
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:25.480
<v Speaker 6>from students has been powerful.

75
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 2>We have a platform for our innovation and that KIP

76
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 2>doesn't offer any of those programs, and so what would

77
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 2>students do to actually get those offerings.

78
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 6>District officials say if this goes through, LPs will lose

79
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 6>fifty four million each year to charter schools. WBZ News

<v Speaker 2>trying to drum up support as they negotiate a new

84
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:56.120

00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.279
<v Speaker 7>That story, Oh hey, maybe this would work out better.

87
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 7>We got mail the old AOL brings back memories later

88
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.000
<v Speaker 7>missing mail though in several Boston neighborhoods, and that means

89
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 7>missed bills and missing mail in election ballots. Officials aren't happy.

90
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 7>Fingers of many being pointed at the US Postal Service,

91
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.000
<v Speaker 7>but the Post Office only says it's aware of a

92
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 7>minor staffing issue that has since been resolved. But here's

93
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 7>the deal. Many say this has been going on for months.

94
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.839
<v Speaker 7>Mail in ballot registration already in the mail. Ballots must

95
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.399
<v Speaker 7>be postmarked no later than November fifth, So we get

96
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 7>a problem. What's going on here? You got mail, but

97
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 7>we don't, at least in some of these Boston neighborhoods
