1) Sen. Jamie and how the rules around it haven't changed in 20 years. He thinks it's about time and suggests, among other things, that 16- and 17-year-olds should be able to pre-register. What do you think?

3) Looks like and are neck-and-neck in the this week. Which one gets your stomach rumbling in the morning? Or is it one of the others on the poll? 

4) Easter is early this year—April 8—so don't miss you chance to see the Easter Bunny! He's at the Solomon Pond Mall until April 7. Do you know of other places he'll be? Add them to our comments below!
