BOSTON — The Massachusetts Republican Party on Tuesday issued a politically-charged statement in response to remarks made by House Speaker Robert DeLeo regarding the potential for new taxes.
The Winthrop Democrat told reporters that it is "much too early to discuss" the possibility of a tax hike, as Republic Governor Charlie Baker has until January 24 to roll out a state budget.
A Maine woman diving near the Cook Islands in the South Pacific cavorted with a humpback whale that kept trying to shield her with a giant pectoral fin; it took her a while to figure out the whale appeared to be shielding her from a lurking tiger shark. A video associated with the story in the link below shows the woman interacting with the whale, but doesn't show the shark.
