Pelosi: Hill closing in on health care overhaul

President Barack Obama put off the start of a scheduled Asian trip on Friday as the White House and senior Democrats reached for agreement on long-stalled health care legislation they hope to push through Congress within days. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is voicing fresh confidence there are enough votes to pass sweeping health care legislation, saying lawmakers are "one day closer" to a historic achievement. Summing up intense work to get the measure through Congress, Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill she felt "very exhilarated" by the tone of conversation in a caucus of Democrats Friday morning. She said, "We stand ready to stay as long as necessary" to finish the bill, which has been heavily debated for well over a year.

Cities and towns face local aid cut up to 4 percent

Legislative budget leaders say Massachusetts cities and towns should expect a cut in state aid next year, but it won't be more than 4 percent. In a joint statement Friday, Senate Ways and Means Chairman Steven Panagiotakos and his House counterpart, Rep. Charles Murphy, said state education funding will also be held at so-called "foundation" levels. Gov. Deval Patrick drafted a budget that avoided cuts to state funding for schools and municipal services such as police and fire.

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.

Galvin: My offices will open, St. Patrick's Day or not

Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin continues to say "bah-humbug" when it comes to St. Patrick's Day. The Democrat announced Thursday all of his offices and the state Archives will be open March 17 even though many other government offices in Suffolk County will be closed for what is also known as Evacuation Day. Galvin oversees offices supervising securities and corporate activities, so he tends to keep his offices open on normal business days. That has traditionally included St. Patrick's Day.

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.

Rep. Kennedy rips media in speech - VIDEO

Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy is blasting the news media as "despicable," accusing it of ignoring the war in Afghanistan even as troops continue to die there. On Wednesday he shouted, pointed and waved his arms excitedly during a speech on the House floor about U.S. policy in Afghanistan. He chastised the media for focusing "24/7" on former Rep. Eric Massa of New York, who resigned from Congress amid sexual harassment allegations, at a time when lawmakers were debating the future of the war.

Two dead in Everett fire

An Everett man who ran into his burning home to save his sister has died. Wednesday night's fire on Blake Terrace is now "double-fatal" fire that investigators say was caused by carelessness. The fire broke out around 9 p.m. 80-year old Edna Power, who was disabled lived in the building with her brother, 76-year old Edward. Off-duty State Police Sgt. Michael Fiore discovered the fire and ran into the burning home to save anyone inside, but the intense flames pushed him back. The fire quickly raced to the second floor where the brother and sister lived. Edward managed to get out, but ran back in to rescue Edna, who was bedridden and relied on a wheelchair and oxygen. Investigators say it all started when a young woman carelessly tossed away a lit cigarette.

Father on trial in daughter's death

Opening arguments are underway in the trial of Michael Reily, the Hull father charged with killing his four-year old daughter, Rebecca. Prosecutors have been granted permission by the judge to use grizzly crime scene photos of the body of Rebecca during opening statements.
