Boch Makes Trump Big Offer

Well known car dealer Ernie Boch Jr. would like to donate $1 million to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, but can’t due to individual contributor limits.

Boch told The Hill that he would be willing to make the high dollar donation, but Trump has no vehicle to accept it. Federal campaign laws allow for individuals to donate up to $2,700 to an individual candidate. If Boch were to make a higher donation, it would need to be through a Trump-supporting Super-PAC, something the candidate has refused to endorse.

Police arrested a 14-year-old student who admitted to writing and leaving a threatening note in the boy’s restroom around 9 a.m. Thursday, said Methuen Superintendent Judith Scannell. The student’s reason was that he “just wanted to get out of school for the day,” Scannell said.
