A Question For Southbridge Cable TV

I’m sitting here tonight TRYING to watch the interviews of candidates for Southbridge Town Manager.

The whole time I am struggling to understand both the questions and the answers.

For weeks the residents of Southbridge have been subjected to inferior, distracting sound quality on our local community cable channels. 

How much longer is this going to continue?

The Local Impact Of Long-Term Unemployment Insurance Cuts

Ken O’Brien

On December 28, 1.3 million Americans were immediately cut off of their unemployment insurance coverage. New data from states across the country highlights the harm local communities will face due to the Republican failure to extend unemployment insurance before leaving for the winter holiday break.

When Congress failed to extend the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation program more than 58,700 people in Massachusetts lost their insurance coverage immediately on Dec. 28, according to the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance. An additional 54,800 people in Massachusetts will lose their coverage in the first six months of 2014 if Republicans continue to block an extension of the program, according to Department of Labor estimates.
