'Despicable.' Taunton City Council OKs budget after heated lawyer fight

After a heated debate, Taunton city councilors voted 7-1 to approve the supplemental budget they rejected two weeks ago, without any changes and without a budget line item specifically for an attorney for the City Council. Previously, the Council voted 5-4 to reject the supplemental budget because it did not contain funding for an attorney specifically for the City Council . The supplemental budget contains funding for firefighters, funds the pension of a city employee serving in the military, and also adds $481,000 to the city's reserve account where it can be used in the event of an economic downturn or other financial challenge. At the most recent Tuesday, Nov. 10, council meeting, Chief Financial Officer Patrick Dello Russo said that hypothetically, money was available for the council to hire their own attorney. But he said that he would not make the money available until the Council came to an agreement with City Solicitor Matt Costa about the role of such an attorney. Costa, for his part, said that he had "legal concerns" but that he was "open to having the discussion." Ultimately, City Councilor Debra Botellio said that "we need to pass this for the sake of the people

Warren Floats Selling Town Buildings to Buy Old Guard Site

Warren could buy the former National Guard building on Market Street by matching a $610,000 auction bid. Officials said the town's 30-day window is expected to open after a state board meets Nov. 24. The new council, set to be sworn in next month, would make the call. Ideas discussed included selling the Main Street building that houses Head Start, possibly to the program's operator for housing and the program, and eventually selling the Miller Street rescue station. Officials said a $2 million grant is a reimbursement for a rescue station, not cash in hand. No vote was taken.

Back from injury, D-R girls soccer's Cassidy Hasenfratz was electric

Cassidy Hasenfratz’s promising high school soccer career was nearly halted only a month into it. In October 2025 during a South Coast Conference match against rival Seekonk, the then-freshman forward broke her leg in three places through her growth plate, an injury that was not only season-ending, but involved over eight months of recovery before doctors finally cleared her to play this past June. "From the day I got injured, it was devastating because soccer has been a part of my life since I could walk and talk," Hasenfratz, a Rehoboth resident who was born in Switzerland to a Swiss father, Cédric, and an American mother, Kristen. "When you get injured like that, and have such a passion for the sport, you make it your first priority (to get back) and you have to have the passion and determination to keep going and move past the setback." Unable to bend her knee for four months or her ankle for another three, Hasenfratz was grateful for every physical therapy session and chance to get back on the ball, as each step brought her closer and closer to a return to the pitch. It's safe to say that return was a resounding

Joseph Case football duo ready for Abington playoff showdown

SWANSEA — Two players who have made a difference in the Joseph Case football team 's resurgence this fall have been juniors Troy Medas and Cooper Watson. The two Cardinals defensive players have created havoc for opposing teams all season long. "What they both bring together, which I think bleeds into the rest of the defense, is they are just tough kids," first-year head coach Mike Cloutier said. "There's no backing down in them. When the game gets tough, they get tougher." The Swansea natives will be tested against No. 3 Abington in Thursday's Division 6 Round of 8 football matchup, beginning at 6 p.m. Watch MA high school football on NFHS The Green Wave (7-2) can certainly run with the football as proven in their opening day win over Longmeadow, tallying nearly 300 yards on the ground. Quarterback Jack Reilly is also accurate throwing the football and crafty in the pocket. Medas, a 6-2, 185-pound linebacker, and Watson, a 6-4, 210-pound defensive end use their size, speed and toughness to create real problems for offenses. They also work in tandem to attack the running and passing game. Both made huge plays in last week's upset over defending Division 6
