every time a new charter opens, it takes money away from the regular public schools from students like mine. massachusetts schools already lose 400 million a year to charters and question two means we'll lose even more. we've got to stop taking from the 96 percent of kids who don't attend a charter school. if you believe every child deserves a great public

what's kelly ayotte costing you? you're paying more for prescription medicines. kelly ayotte blocked lower cost generic drugs. you're paying high interest rates on college loans. ayotte voted against letting you refinance at lower rates. special breaks to wall street executives. kelly ayotte. she's siding with corporate special interests and that's costing you. she's not working for new hampshire.

cindy: [laughter] cool, dry. don't forget to fall back. antoinette: have a great day. >> this is an editorial by the bcb --wcvb channel president and general manager bill fine. mr. fine where do you stand? : vote early or on election day? although october surprises have caused some controversy over the wisdom of early voting, so far that question is being answered yes by an overwhelming, record margin of 2 to 1 over 2012's presidential elected officials and watchdog groups alike share the same complaint -- america's voting process is broken. tuesdays are inconvenient, and the number one difficulty and reason americans cite for not voting. tuesday elections have their origin during the agriculture driven economy of the 1800's. weekends were eliminated for religious reasons and monday was a day of horse and buggy travel to the polls. it is beyond time to encourage some new thinking, if not a complete overhaul of old standards.

flexibility for those with inflexible work schedules. it also eliminates the need to stay in line for hours, sometimes in during inclement weather. factors which also lower turnout. there is the risk early voting cuts short the vetting process and late developments in a campaign may impact our choice up to the last minute. do we really have a firm grasp on clinton and trump's views on the important issues, or are we inundated to the very end on their personal failings? considering the record negatives dogging both candidates, any vote, early or on election day, is a considered risk for the majority of americans. record early voting is a strong indicator of acceptance for reform. let's hope the discussion on increased reforms occurs before the first candidate announces for 2020.
