Bad weather in New York is diverting air traffic to Boston. Logan International Airport was hosting extra international aircraft Saturday as heavy rain and high winds created delays at John F.

Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas says he's against a proposal to allow up to five dispensaries to be set up around the state for medical marijuana.

Tax changes proposed to boost business, create jobs


The Massachusetts Senate will consider a series of corporate tax policy changes aimed at helping grow small businesses and spawn new companies. Senate President Therese Murray announced the proposed changes Friday at an Associated Industries of Massachusetts breakfast in Waltham. Murray describes the proposals as a way “to create a more favorable and stable business tax climate.”   She descirbed the proposals as “relatively low cost” , but didn't give any estimates. Murray cited a study showing that between 1990 and 2007, the number of firms in Massachusetts increased 67 percent, but the average firm size shrunk almost 40 percent.  In 1990, the average firm in the state employed approximately 17 people; by 2007, the average firm size here was almost 10 people.

Deval Patrick drafted a budget that avoided cuts to state funding for schools and municipal services such as police and fire.

Rescuers back to try and free dolphins on Cape Cod


Rescue teams have reached another of the white-sided dolphins that became stuck in the mud off Cape Cod. A spokesman for the International Fund for Animal Welfare says it's too early to know if the animal -- one of 16 that stranded in two locations in Wellfleet on Thursday - will survive. Four of the original 16 have died and three are unaccounted for. Six others that were rescued were taken to Provincetown and released back into the ocean. IFAW spokesman Chris Cutter says hip-deep mud he compared to quicksand had been preventing rescuers from reaching the remaining dolphins, but Friday morning's high tide has helped those efforts.
