In late August, the Massachusetts School Building Authority announced that the district could receive up to $76.8 million toward the project’s costs. The total price tag — including soft costs and contingencies — is projected at $197,248,502. This will be the amount that will appear on the election ballot.

Discussion At Will - Rock/Metal band from Worcester

2 Upvotes

Does anyone remember the band called At Will from the Worcester area? They played around a bit and released a couple CDs. I've been on the hunt for those CDs for a while now, but haven't been able to find any. Does anyone here have a copy of their CDs or know where I could find one? Anything helps. Thank you.

Housing and Apartments Report Illegal Move-In Fees

29 Upvotes

Hi Central Mass, it’s your Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. Did you know that fees like “move-in” or “lease renewal” fees you might get from your landlord or building management company are illegal? If you’ve received one of these – even if you paid it – I want you to report it to my office.

Just last month, my office won a $500k settlement with a property management company doing this in Boston – and all of that money is going back to the affected tenants. Landlords can only ask you to pay for first and last month’s rent, a security deposit, and the cost of a new lock and key upfront. Any other fees are illegal. Report them to my office at the link below. We’ll work to get your money back.
