By SARA BURNETT and BRIAN SLODYSKO Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — Should Democrats be going big or get- ting real? That’s the question that dominated the Democratic presidential primary debate as progressive favorites Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders fended off attacks from lesser- known moderates. The display amounted to a sometimes testy public airing of the party’s anxieties about how far left is too left and how to beat President Donald Trump. Here are the key takeaways from the debate: Full Coverage: Election 2020

EVOLUTION VS. REVOLUTION The battle lines were clear at Tuesday’s debate from the opening remarks. This was the pragmatists against the front- runners seeking transformational change. Over and over, moderate candidates like Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and former Rep. John Delaney argued Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ plans — from “Medicare for All” to the Green New Deal — are unrealistic and would scare off voters. Bullock bemoaned the candidates’ “wish-list economics.” Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar dismissed free college even for wealthy families as unworkable and touted her ideas “grounded in reality.” Hickenlooper called for “an evolution, not a revolution,” on health care. The attacks weren’t shocking in a debate that featured the progressive standouts Warren and Sanders onstage with a handful of lesser-known moderates looking to seize the spot- light. But the two senators’ unified front in fighting them off From left, Marianne Williamson, Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., South Bend Mayor Pete was notable. Though they are jockeying for some of the same Buttigieg, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, former Colorado voters, Warren and Sanders didn’t bother going after each Gov. John Hickenlooper, former Maryland Rep. John Delaney and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock participate in the first of other. They largely beat back the moderate critique of their two Democratic presidential primary debates hosted by CNN Tuesday, July 30, 2019, in the Fox Theatre in Detroit. (AP Photo/ call for sweeping, systemic change with similar arguments. Paul Sancya) Sanders argued his health plan is “not radical” and achiev- able.

(AP) — Connecticut consumers will soon be charged 10 cents to carry out their purchases in a sin- gle-use plastic bag. The new tax takes effect on Thursday. Many stores have posted signs warning customers of the impending change. Proponents hope the excise will lead to fewer single-use plastic bags littering the environment. The tax will be charged from Aug. 1 until June 30, 2021. After that, retailers will be prohibited from providing or selling the bags to customers. The tax is projected to generate $27.7 million in the current fiscal year and $26.8 million in the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2020. There are some exceptions, including plastic bags provided by stores to hold meat, seafood and loose produce, as well as newspaper and dry cleaning bags.

Big Y Bags Continued from Page 1 those sentiments. “I’ve been using reusable bags for a couple of years,” said Kremer. “I think this is the wave of the future and I commend Big Y for proceeding with this initiative. Connecticut is in the process of passing a statewide bag tax which turns into a ban. Massachusetts should follow suit. Bring your bags … once you develop the habit it actually makes things a lot easier.” Beth Campurciani concurred. “We all know how bad plastic is for the planet,” said Campurciani. “A co-worker of mine challenged us to not buy Summer Edventure Fifth and Sixth graders and teachers.

Travis d’Arnaud and García homered to give the Rays a 4-3 lead in the fifth and help chase David Price. But when Cash came out to the mound with one on and two out in the bottom half, Morton tried to talk his manager out of it. Andrew Benintendi hit the next pitch from reliever Adam Kolarek over the Green Monster to give Boston the lead. “I just want to pitch,” said Morton, who had only thrown 85 pitches. “It’s a tough decision for him, I’m sure.” García made it 6-5 with a wall-scraping double in the sixth, and Kolarek (4-3) followed with a perfect sixth. Boston loaded the bases in the eighth before Emilio Pagán, Tampa’s seventh pitcher, got Rafael Devers on an easy fly to left end the threat. He gave up two sin- gles with two outs in the ninth before retiring Christian Vázquez on a high fly ball to left for his eighth save. “It seems like the tying or winning run came up Boston Red Sox's Christian Vazquez flips his bat every inning,” Cash said. after striking out during the eighth inning of the Josh Taylor (0-1) gave up a single to the only batter Boston Red Sox's Andrew Benintendi smiles and raises his hand as he team's baseball game against the Tampa Bay Rays he faced, right before Garcia’s game-winning double scores on his two-run home ruin during the fifth inning of the team's base- at Fenway Park in Boston, Tuesday, July 30, 2019. ball game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park in Boston, Tuesday, (AP Photo/Charles Krupa) See Red Sox, Rays, Page 11 July 30, 2019.

On The Tube What’s the best way to handle this? -- Tiptoeing Dear Tiptoeing: To think -- a 40-something single man who prefers to be alone and play video games doesn’t like sharing his space?! Shocking. You have a right to feel comfortable, so talk to him and see what happens. It’s unrealistic for him to expect you to live like a ghost. But at the end of the day, you are in his home, and this was supposed to be temporary. So enough with the tiptoeing. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and march on to a new apartment.

I have a formerly close friend -- let’s call her Christine -- who hasn’t really grown in my direction. She met a 35-year- old wealthy artist last year and has been a kept lady since then. She casually floats between jobs and spends almost every day just doing yoga, going to the beach and smoking marijuana. It’s as if she has no clear picture of what she wants to do with her life. I was initially sad when she stopped putting in effort to hang out, but I’ve been sort of ambivalent since realizing we don’t have much in common anymore. I would rather spend my time with people who are actually doing things with their lives. She recently reached out to me and apologized for being off the radar, and she said she wants to hang out. I’m not sure whether I really want to rekindle the friendship. She’ll prob- ably show up high anyway. What do you think? -- Losing Touch Dear Losing Touch: How’s the boyfriend’s art? Any idea?
