In local 00:02:34.490 --> 00:02:38.289 news, Massachusetts residents are set to benefit 00:02:38.289 --> 00:02:40.789 from some of the biggest federal tax cuts in 00:02:40.789 --> 00:02:43.770 the nation, starting next year with taxpayers 00:02:43.770 --> 00:02:46.919 in greater Boston. potentially saving more than 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.240 $7 ,000 on average under the new tax law. The 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.840 One Big Beautiful bill act not only makes the 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.319 2017 Trump -era tax cuts permanent, but also 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.280 introduces new deductions for tipped and overtime 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.759 workers, increases the child tax credit, and 00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.159 ensures write -offs for business research and 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.300 equipment purchases are permanent.

However, this tax relief comes 00:03:19.979 --> 00:03:23.520 with concerns, as cuts to services for low -income 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.460 Americans, such as food assistance and Medicaid, 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:37.389 could begin in 2027.

Originally a first -round pick 00:03:46.689 --> 00:03:50.370 in 2022, Pickett will serve as the backup to 00:03:50.370 --> 00:03:54.229 Geno Smith. This move follows Aiden O 'Connell's 00:03:54.229 --> 00:03:56.650 wrist injury, which will sideline him for six 00:03:56.650 --> 00:04:00.009 to eight weeks. Pickett, who was previously with 00:04:00.009 --> 00:04:02.949 the Philadelphia Eagles, has shown promise in 00:04:02.949 --> 00:04:06.469 limited appearances. Raiders coach Pete Carroll 00:04:06.469 --> 00:04:09.330 emphasized the need for game experience in a 00:04:09.330 --> 00:04:12.969 backup.
