We called it “internal” or “external” suspension, and the last step was expulsion.

No way. Springfield is more convenient, literally the crossroads.

That’s a new years day thing. This guy was doing it regularly. I’ve seen the really cold plunge pools at a few spas.

I think the issue was that they didn’t inform anyone in Springfield. They were overwhelmed, so they took people who had no ties to WMass and just dumped them. Never contacted a shelter here. Just basically told these people to eff off.

Yep. The mayor flipped his shit and it was on the local news. It was a homeless shelter in Worcester that was overcrowded, and this was their solution.
Springfield also takes a disproportionate amount of refugees. So the state just dumps them there because cost of living is cheaper. But there’s less resources and less jobs as well.
The state also stiffs Springfield a lot. One example is bussing. Springfield has a weird system where they jumble up the kids from all over the city and place them in schools that aren’t necessarily the closest to their homes. The state is supposed to pay for the cost of bussing everyone but they don’t actually pay.

Never forget when the city of Worcester loaded a bunch of homeless people into busses and taxis and drove them to Springfield and dumped them there without any warning. None of them had any connection to Springfield, and nobody knew they were coming.

I found it in a Globe article from today, and it looks like they quoted it from American Public Power Assoc.
Still, your figures or mine, neither is close to 64%. I understand the need to raise the price. Its the amount of the increase that I have a problem with.
