Trump also says he wants to simplify the tax code by reducing the number of tax brackets from seven to three.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Authorities are conducting an autopsy on a 10-year-old boy killed on a Kansas waterslide billed as the world's largest.

But that's only if those suing prove they have a right to do so. At a hearing today, the judge considered a motion by the state to dismiss the lawsuit filed by three couples. He also indicated that he wouldn't allow Republican legislative leaders and some magistrates to be added to the suit as defendants.
