BOSTON (AP) - Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey on Wednesday announced her bid to become the state's first elected woman governor, pledging to fight for lower taxes and education reform.
In a speech to supporters, the Republican pledged to "stand up to the tax-and-spend attitude of the Democratic Legislature." She also said she would push to raise the legal age a young person can leave high school from 16 to 18.
"To allow 16-year-olds to end their education is to sentence them to a life of disappointment, poverty or even jail," she said.
