(CNSNews.com) – "Let New Jersey be the canary in the coal mine" when it comes to raising taxes on millionaires, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said on Saturday.
"It is a failed idea and a failed policy; it's class warfare. It happened in my state. I've stopped it from happening again. But we cannot do it."
BOSTON – With Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court justices Robert Cordy and Francis Spina stepping down this summer, Gov. Charlie Baker has gained the chance to make his first nominations to the state's high court. Baker also will be in position to appoint a majority of the court before the end of his term, as more justices face mandatory retirement.
By 2019, when Baker's term ends, two more justices will reach age 70, when Massachusetts judges, including those who sit on the SJC, are required by law to retire. The court has seven members.
