...have a huge group of retiring baby boomers and not enough replacement workers," says Joan Carter of the Life Options Institute, an organization dedicated to helping people plan for life after age 50.

If all goes as planned, solar power will soon be beaming in to Cambridge’s Andrew Peabody School, City Manager Robert W. Healy said at the meeting. The city is seeking a Clean Energy Choice grant from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, a state agency that promotes development of green energy.

Although both presidential nominees made reference to the infrastructure crisis in speeches, neither...
...their effort to sway at least a few Republicans, Democrats did take some of their concerns into account - including demands for long-term financial plans from loan recipients, increased oversight and taxpayer protections. But for most Republicans the moves don't go far enough. The GOP is asking for assurances that the taxpayers will be repaid - like the assurances given by the banking industry - and for a commission to ensure that the money is spent wisely, especially since all three companies are already so deep in debt (GM alone owes $48 billion). To that end, the GOP wants a change...
