***** MA DCF Has Failed Our Children With Deadly Consequences Rather Than Protecting Our Kids Like They're Supposed To Do *****
How many more deaths of our children under DCF care will we continue to accept?
How many?
Is there a magic number here?
Seriously wtf?
How in the hell can this keep happening at MA DCF under the eyes of everybody including our local state delegation who are seemingly MIA.
One thing is crystal clear and that is the MA DCF must be broken up and re-built from the ground on up and our local delegation had better get to freaking work now this very second and start demanding answers and legislating a way forward to protect our kids....NOW!

***** Pennywise Pound Stupid *****
This bill if approved and implemented will absolutely negatively affect the restaurant business throughout our city and region.
Restaurant owners and servers will bear the burden of this misguided piece of legislation.
Government overreach right here plain as day.
Just say no.

Jared Forman, owner of Deadhorse Hill Restaurant in Worcester, said the bill is adding more complications by only allowing restaurants to charge a service fee during peak seasons

***** MA DCF Is Broken & The Most Vulnerable Children Amongst Are Dying Because Of It *****
DCF must be dissolved and broken up immediately and replaced with a system that actually cares about the kids in their care and follows the rules and guidelines established to do so.
Anything less then the Commonwealth of MA is sanctioning the abuse and murder of these children.
Too bad all of our cities and towns have a disengaged MIA state delegations up on Beacon Hill.
They could, if they wanted to, effectuate the badly needed changes and oversight missing in these instances.
Unfortunately we all know the answer.

The state Department of Children and Families failed to properly oversee the parents of a 4-year-old Worcester girl who died in her father's care, a report released Wednesday found.

***** The Tax Rate Setting In Worcester Is Broken Beyond Repair & That's Unacceptable & Intolerable *****
A new way forward is desperately needed.
The present paradigm pitting homeowners against business owners is a lose-lose for everyone involved.
The lowest residential tax rate is a misnomer because taxes will always be continually going up according to assessed property rates.
Thrusting the tax rate difference upon businesses is showing exactly what happens which dissuades new businesses in locating here.
That's additional tax revenues lost and jobs not created for our residents and families.
Mayor Joe Petty along with the new incoming city council all need to put their heads together to create a new sub-committee that will start addressing this issue in January 2026 placing all the options on the table that will help business and homeowners find common ground, including setting aside additional funding that can help alleviate the tax increases across the board we all witness each and every December.
Doing nothing until next December 2026 is a non-starter.
Let's all get to work on day one, roll up our sleeves and start fixing the vexing tax rate setting conundrum that befuddles us all and harms everyone.

***** Without Question Nor Reservation WP101 Wholeheartedly & Vociferously Endorses Nick Lazzaro As The Next State Representative For The 7th Worcester District *****
Nick Lazzaro has the experience, knowledge and passion to take the 7th Worcester District to the next level rather than the stagnation currently under the low energy present incumbent.
Unlike the present incumbent, Lazzaro will represent everyone in the entire district no matter their party affiliation, where they came from or who they are.
That's what a State Rep is supposed to do and is something missing from the current guy who is wholly incapable of doing.
Lazzaro places people over politics and will strive to represent all the families, neighbors and residents throughout the entire district.
The 7th Worcester District encompasses Auburn, Charlton Precinct 4, Millbury and Oxford Precincts 2 & 3.
Lazzaro is a team builder who will place and prioritize the people first before party leadership and do what's best for all of the families and residents who make up the district and will be able to bring the entire delegation together for the common good.
Your support and votes for Lazarro will allow the district to be taken to the next level rather than the current malaise and stagnation the present low energy just punching the clock incumbent represents.
The 7th Worcester District is looking for change and that change starts by supporting and voting for Nick Lazzaro who will be the next State Rep for Auburn, Millbury, Charlton and Oxford.
The voters, families and residents deserve no less!
Rock The Vote!
Spread The Word!
And TOGETHER lets all support Nick Lazzaro!

Millbury Selectman and small business owner Nick Lazzaro announces his run for State Representative in the 7th Worcester District, focusing on affordability and transparency.

***** Former District 4 City Councilor Sarai Rivera Still Hasn't Complied With OCPF Request For Additional Information *****
The OCPF has now issued a final request/demand for Rivera to provide the required information on exactly where the $24,877.77 in campaign funds that were withdrawn on 10/2/25 from her campaign bank account went to.
It has now been 2 full months to file a simple statement and yet nothing has been done.
The cutoff date to fully and completely comply is now 12/22/25 and failure to do so will mean the OCPF Legal Department will step in.
This isn't difficult at all to comply with and yet Rivera having yet to do so raises many questions and red flags as to what is exactly going on here and where did the money go to?

***** Housing The Homeless Will Take A City of Worcester, Massachusetts, Regional, State, Federal Including Non-Profits & Private Businesses Solution To Resolve *****
However, there are those crackpots like Haxhiaj, King and Mailman who continually and erroneously place the blame solely on City of Worcester, Massachusetts government while tearing down our city.
This is detrimental and harmful to actually solving this vexing issue and it's the most vulnerable amongst us who actually pay the price of the political performative politics these three continually play on for political gain.
Disgusting!

***** These Abhorrent Actions Are Completely Un-American & Not At All What America Is Supposed To Be All About *****
America was built on the backs of immigrants as we are the melting pot of the world that always had open arms to people searching for a better life.
That's our history and that's what made America great as a welcoming beacon to the whole world.
We are supposed to be better than this crapass bu****it!

Trump administration is pausing naturalizations for immigrants from 19 countries.

***** WP101 Absolutely Unequivocally Opposes Anyone Under 18yo To Vote In Any Upcoming Future Election In Our City Or Across The Commonwealth *****
Under 18 kids lack of maturity and life experiences to make informed decision's including insufficient political knowledge and being susceptibility to undue influences.
Age 18 is a widely accepted legal boundary for other significant rights and responsibilities such as signing contracts or joining the military without parental consent.
To allow voting under the age of 18 is just a non-starter and completely non-sensical.

A movement to allow 16- and 17-year olds to vote in local elections has come to Massachusetts. See link below ⬇️ bit.ly/4pZzp5K
