MA Administrative Fees: Internet usage!

Total rip off.....

They'll probably have a monthly billing system that allows you to contyest a charge, but ONLY up to 30 days after said charge was applied. That way they can cover their a$$es and still rake in the money.

How about the state's sick time buy-back policy?
Does anyone in the REAL world have a company that will pay you for unused sick time, that you can save forever? I didn't think so.
These POS in power will screw us out of every cent we have, and then claim poverty when we call them on these shady deals.
Hell, they were readily able to change the state sales tax without ANY public input, so why should these scams be any different?

Funny, I don't recall ever being asked if I wanted these added taxes, fee and fines. Do you?

I say we need a clean sweep of the state house. It's time to tell them to go screw themselve and get a real job in the real world. maybe if they had to pay the same fee, fines, taxes and bills that we have to pay just to try and survive in this state, they might get a clue as to how hated they really are, and how disgusted we are with what THEY DID TO OUR STATE!

OK, rant is over and it's back to work.

Not directly related to the fee issue, but ceratinly a bureaucratic BS issue none the less is the issue with the mayor of Lawrence, Willie Mantegua (?) who is also a state Rep.
Double dipping is coming back into style again.
Please explain how a person can do 2 jobs successfully when they both require his full attention, and he claims he is doing this for the people (at least that what he sounds like he's saying, but what do I know, I'm not bilingual.)
This guy had the chief of police demoted because he wasn't bilingual, yet the mayor himself can barely piece together a cohesive sentence. I hear his interviews on the radio, and it makes Mumbles Menino sound like Einstein!

He won't step down from one of the jobs because he claims he can do both jobs equally well. Now he's voting on a bill that will get the state to "lend" his city 35 million.

Here is a person who has his ex-wife, his wife and his girlfriend all on the city payroll. His girlfriend was reportedly going around telling workers that if they didn't do what she asked, she'd have them fired (And she did).
Then there's the fact that Martha Coakley hasn't done anything about this corrupt situation, probably because she used his offices for her failed senate campaign and because he was a staunch supporter of her campiagn. Gee, you think she'd actually do anything about this without incriminating herself? Probably not, but what do you expect in Massachusetts?

Just get it at your town hall---by law, the town clerk's office can only charge a $1 service fee.
