Sen. Warren sounds alarm on fed budget cuts during Lowell swing By Grant Welker, Lowell Sun

Elizabeth Warren said in a visit to the city Tuesday. Warren, hitting areas of the state this week while Congress is on break, stopped at the new Lowell Community Health Center on Jackson Street, then visited the University of Massachusetts Lowell's Emerging Technologies and Innovation Center, which opened in October, and the Massachusetts Medical Device Development Center. http://www.lowellsun.com/todaysheadlines/ci_22627183/sen-warren-sounds-alarm-fed-budget-cuts-during
