It'll help Worcester cover its own legal fees from its string of court losses!

“Promote”. That means a “study” with outside consultants.

Does this mean I'll finally get paid for the "Los Wepas de Worcester" name I came up with for them??

That was you? Coincidentally I just saw a Los Wepas de Worcester shirt at goodwill today and looked it up on the spot.

Yes, unfortunately. It's a shameful thing I explain to my relatives when they visit the city. Pure exploitation.. but hey, it's the Red Sox Organization, what'd I expect right?

Maybe it’s time to look past who own a company or who works for a company and just hire the best company.

So was the company supposed to go to their subcontractors and tell them to fire their white male owned partners and hire minority owned? That seems a bit racist to me but what do I know, i don’t think contracts should be awarded based on percentages of races involved in the project
