this summer the massachusetts state legislature issued a report saying that massachusetts was the most unequal funding for local schools. they are now funding schools at the 2002 level. at the same time the forces attacked the massachusetts standards in order to get top funding and following the financial crisis in 2008 massachusetts was essentially forced to replace the massachusetts standards with the common core which experts agree was inferior to the massachusetts curriculum. massachusetts loved -- so in 2016 went dark money flooded into the state to support a referendum that would increase the charter school the initiative was resoundingly disputed by voters by a 2-1 margin. it's not only in massachusetts that public schools are beginning to be defended by their local communities. there's a wonderful blogger by the name of jennifer berkshire who has a tremendous podcast that i would recommend to you. called have you heard? is also writing the book and she's been traveling the midwestern states to talk to local communities about how they feel about their schools. one of the places

massachusetts is a relatively. wee stay with relatively few poor minorities, envelopes what they accomplished in last 25 years -- they started at exactly the same time that michigan passed its own initial jed reform law. so a few noteworthy pounds but the massachusetts reforms that i think are very important. it grew out of a bipartisan consensus between a republican government, william weld, and democratic legislators. at the reforms rested on a grand bargain which was lots more money for schools over a billion dollars in exchange for increased accountability and that extra money wore schools war weighted to poorer schools so the poorer schools in massachusetts actually saw their funding double. after the eds reforms. the reforms were also arrived at collaboratively and this was not a fast -- this was a process so by the time the details were hammered out, they had come to include parents, teachers, the business community, and in so they achieved legitimacy, which is very important and i think the ed reformers don

age in the colony of massachusetts put on uniforms and left massachusetts to fight in the french and indian war. that is a tremendous degree of mobilization. we thought that as a result of our participation in this great fight, we would have earned our state at the table. that britain would recognize our maturity as partners within the british empire. of course i teach at west point and i know a lot about military history. there were red arrows and there were blue arrows. we won. we won the french and indian war. a fantastic victory and yet, the victory in the french and indian war in many respects, showed -- sowed the seeds of the american revolution. just one doesn't years after this war ended in 1763. the french and indian war, it's almost as if the british had gone to the store and a purchased, maybe went into the self hurt section and purchase the book saying how to lose an empire to dummies. when washington, a 23-year-old colonel from virginia seeks to buy a commission as an officer in the regular british army, what answered you give him? no. and what is your rationale? because

the gentlelady from massachusetts. ms. tsongas: thank you, mr. speaker. federal recognition of native american tribes is critical to protecting their tribal sovereignty and restoring the tribe's ability to control its land, its water and its resources, as well as the ability to govern and to protect the health, safety and welfare of its members. introduced by representative gianforte, h.r. 3764 will extend federal recognition to the little shell tribe of chippewa indians of montana. the little shell tribe has resided in montana for well over a century and has long been recognized as a tribe by the state. the tribe is a political successor to the signatories of a treaty of 1863. under which a large area of land in the state of north dakota was ceded to the united states. while the federal government has federally recognized the two other tribes that are successors to the signatories of the treaty, the little shell have inexplicably been left in limbo. they've repeatedly petitioned for federal recognition, first in the 1930'

last night a huge upset in massachusetts. ayanna pressley coming from, i guess the far left, to knock off the incumbent, very popular congressman capuano. look, tip o'neill famously said all politics is local, and demographics played a huge role there in that district. what is happening nationally, though? >> i think it's clear that the party wants to be a younger party that looks a little bit more like the people it represents. this is a majority-minority district, meaning most of the people in this district aren't white. they've had an older, white man representing them, and his policies seemed very close in line with his challenger, ayanna pressley here. >> yeah. >> and she even kind of copped to that, but change, they were saying, needs to come, and that the district needs to be represented by the people who are there. and you saw the same thing with alexandria ocasio cortez in new york, where they said the district needs to look a little bit more like me, and a lot of that's happening, particularly for democrats. >> then

that storm that's twice the size of massachusetts. those heavy winds nearly 400 miles across. about 85% of the people who live here in north myrtle have evacuated. the beach was busy today. swimmers, surfers, tourists. i spoke to a few people who have decided not to evacuate. one guy said he have planning to move out of town this morning and when the storm was downgraded do category 2, he decided to stay. as we keep on telling people, category 2 just means the wind. it does not mean the rain and most people who die in hurricanes die from the water. if you look here we're expecting a storm surge. this is normal high tide which is about here. we had a high tide this afternoon. next is about 2:00 in the morning. if do you look over here there's no real dune to speak of. that's the house we're staying in. that's built up on stilts so the water can pass through. another woman i spoke to today who is also not evacuating said maybe we're safer here on the coast than we would be inland. i'm not saying i agree with her but her rational is last time tlfrs there was a hurricane the river

these are homes from three communities north of the us city of boston, massachusetts. destroyed in the wake of an apparent natural pipe line rupture. is a total of 75 fires, explosions or investigations of gas were reported. hundreds were evacuated and some 50 fire department rushed to the scene. the cause of the blast is still unclear and the massachusetts government says that safety and shelter were the first priority. there will be plenty of time later tonight and tomorrow morning and into the next day to do some of the workaround determining exactly what has happened and why and what needs to be done to deal with that. the focus in the short term is to make sure we do everything we can in to provide shelter for people who need shelter. at least one person has died and i2 have been injured. investigators suspect over pressurisation of a gas main lead to the series of blasts and fires. the colombia gas company who supply gas to the area says it is investigating what happened. earlier that day it said it would upgrade gas lines in neighbourhoods across the state but i

you had success bringing biotech to massachusetts on renewable energy. you moved education forward, charter schools was a big initiative of yours. you also ran into problems. >> everybody does. >> you know, you wanted to do a big infrastructure program, ran into the recession and resistance in the legislature. and part of the critique was that you ran against beacon hill, never quite understood how to conquer it. is that a fair critique? >> well, some of it is. i mean, we didn't get everything right. i will say that, you know, we were first in the nation in student achievement, in health care coverage, the precursor to the aca. >> governor romney deserves some credit for that. >> he signed the bill. he signed the bill right there. >> with ted kennedy over his shoulder. >> that's right. it went into effect the day i took office, so i feel we have our fair share of credit to take as well. first in the nation veterans services and entrepreneurial activity in -- so many firsts. we have the highest bond rating in the history of the commonwealth. for all of th

one third of all men of military age in the colony of massachusetts put on uniforms and left massachusetts to fight in the french and indian war. that is a tremendous degree of mobilization. and we thought that as a result of our participation in this great fight we would have earned our seat at the table. that britain would recognize our maturity as partners within the british empire. of course, i teach at west point, so obviously i must know a lot about military history. let me tell you a little about the french and indian war. there were red arrows and blue arrows, red explosions and blue explosions, and we won the french and indian war. a fantastic victory, and yet the victory in the french and indian war in many respects sowed the seeds of the american revolution that would follow just a dozen years after this concluded in 1763. it was almost as if the british went to the bookstore, walked into the self-hurt question and purchased a volume called "how to lose an empire for dummies." reading this book, the preface said, when george washington, a 23-year-old colonel from virginia seeks

again, massachusetts state police responding to 70 reports. that includes reports of explosions, fire, and gas odor. emergency officials out there are asking all residents who get their service from columbia gas to evacuate. that includes residents now, we're being told of south lawrence. they also are being told to evacuate, as well. the town of andover sent a bulletin on facebook asking resident it is they knew how to turn off gas. the key word being "if," if knew how to turn off gas and then ev evacua evacuate. lawrence general hospital has received four patients. the conditions of those patient at this point unknown. massachusetts' governor is urging residents to heed the evacuations order. police also telling us that shelters are in place for folks to go to. but what you can see from there, those pictures, obviously a very tense situation for emergency crews who have been there on the ground, putting out those fires, trying to get to the bottom of the cause. kate? >> brian -- sorry, jason, i am also wondering, did these happen -- do we ha

we removed the mandatory minimums in massachusetts. and in a new criminal justice reform bill signed into law by governor baker. so we are moving away from focusing on those type of crimes. i believe what we are doing here in massachusetts at least -- i'm not sure what is happening where you are located -- but there are a lot of nonviolent people sitting in jail and it is costing us over $50,000, and sometimes upward of $645,000 -- 65,000 a year to have them there. when they come out they have a felony and they can't get housing and they can't get employment. that is why we have a 50% recidivism rate here. >> tucker: it's tough, for sure. when 70,000 americans dying of dug o.d.s -- drug o.d.s, drug dealing could be form of violence. but what do you say when people come to you and say people are looting the sore and no one will prosecute them? what is your answer to them? >> what i want to make sure is no one is saying they won't be held accountable. what i want to make sure that you are understanding is as i said $50,000 a year to hous
