STATE HOUSE — Legalization of marijuana would result in greater dangers on Massachusetts roadways, where authorities are ill-equipped to even know whether drivers are intoxicated by the leafy green drug, opponents of Question 4 said Tuesday.
"If this ballot question passes we're asking police officers on the street to do an impossible task. We're asking them to determine if somebody's impaired or not," Rep. Paul Tucker, the former chief of police in Salem, said at a press conference outside the State House.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A new fundraising email from House Speaker Paul Ryan's political operation, over former Speaker Newt Gingrich's signature, seeks money for Republican congressional candidates by calling the appeal "our very last chance to stop Pelosi and Hillary."
Indiana Republican Trey Hollingsworth says in one TV ad that he's running for Congress to stop three Democrats – opponent Shelli Yoder, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – from imposing "higher taxes and government-run health care." In another spot, the GOP-aligned Senate Leadership Fund attacks the Democratic Senate challenger in Missouri by saying, "It's surprising how many ways Jason Kander is just like Hillary Clinton."
