BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts taxpayers can look forward to seeing a return of some of their tax dollars this year, Gov. Charlie Baker said Friday.
The announcement came after the state auditor’s office certified that tax revenues exceeded allowable revenues under a little-noticed 1986 law that kicked in due to the state’s soaring tax collections.

The effects of the pandemic, along with the rebound in European tourism, require a new playbook that balances flexibility with savings. Fresh off a trip to Europe, I rounded up some money-saving tactics that made my travel not only cheaper but also more enjoyable. First, consider your destination — and whether a non-capital city would give you the same experience without the crowds. Next, plan your schedule like you would at a theme park: Visit the biggest attractions earliest in the day. Finally, consider the need for travel insurance and cancellation policies.

Authorities say an eastern Indiana police officer who was shot in the head during a traffic stop in August has died more than two weeks after being removed from life support. The Richmond Police Department says in a statement posted to Facebook that Officer Seara Burton died Sunday night at Reid Health in Richmond. Burton was critically wounded in the shooting Aug. 10, in Richmond, about 65 miles east of Indianapolis. She was moved to hospice care after being removed from life support Sept. 1 at a hospital in Dayton, Ohio. The 28-year-old officer was a four-year veteran of the Richmond department. The subject of the traffic stop was earlier charged with three counts of attempted murder and four other charges.

The three Baltic states neighboring Russia have closed their borders to most Russians, saying the move is to protect the security of the three European Union nations. The decision that takes effect Monday was reached earlier this month by the leaders of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and of Poland, which borders Russia's Kaliningrad exclave. Warsaw's move seems more drawn-out. Under the ban, Russians wishing to travel to the EU as tourists or for business, sports or culture purposes will not be allowed in, even if they have valid visas for the EU's no-checks Schengen zone. There will be few exceptions. The Baltic countries want the ban introduced by all 27 EU members.

In a joint investigation, reporters from the Associated Press and Reveal at the Center for Investigative Reporting spent months unearthing the history of convict leasing that built business empires. They focused on Tennessee Coal, Iron & Railroad, which ran a stockade and coal mine, and the company that later bought it, U.S. Steel. The team found someone living today whose ancestor was imprisoned in the Lone Rock stockade nearly 140 years ago. They also interviewed the descendant of a man who got rich from his role in pioneering Tennessee’s convict leasing system. The reporters also heard from U.S. Steel. For the first time, it said it was willing to discuss its past with members of the affected community.

Russia's space agency says Valery Polyakov, the Soviet cosmonaut who set the record for the longest single spaceflight, has died at age 80. Polyakov’s record of 437 days in space began Jan. 8, 1994, when he and two others blasted off to the Soviet space station Mir. While aboard Mir, he orbited the Earth more than 7,000 times, and returned on March 22, 1995. Upon landing, Polyakov declined to be carried out of the Soyuz capsule, as is common practice to allow readjustment to the pull of gravity, and climbed out himself. Polyakov trained as a physician and wanted to demonstrate that the human body could endure extended periods in space.

About 400 tourists who were stranded on a mountainside when a strong earthquake hit Taiwan have descended safely, as the island repairs damage caused by the quake. The 6.8 magnitude quake hit the island on Sunday afternoon, temporarily trapping four people inside a leveled three-story building, knocking a train from its tracks and damaging a bridge. A worker in a cement factory was killed. The quake was centered in eastern Hualien county, but was felt throughout Taiwan. Smaller aftershocks continued to hit the island Sunday night into Monday morning, although none was as severe.
