Struggling to make ends meet in the toughest economic climate in years, some communities south of Boston are taking a tougher stance against tax delinquents, whether they are behind on property taxes, water and sewer bills, or fees for trash collection.
Holbrook has adopted tougher guidelines on collecting property taxes, Milton has discovered that publicizing the names of delinquent property owners helps, and Randolph is collecting water and sewer bills with renewed vigor. And in some communities like Walpole, tax collections have actually increased, officials say. (Read the full story here.)

A hearing on Beacon Hill today was aimed at increasing penalties for people found using marijuana in Massachusetts. Some police claim pot smokers are getting a free ride because of deficiencies in the state’s new law decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana. 7’s Jonathan Hall uncovers, what some are calling, a flaw in the law.
It’s no longer a crime to smoke pot in the Bay State. Voters sent the old law up in smoke and now the punishment is a fine. The problem: most people just aren’t paying and they’re getting away with it.
