'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

Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Westport rejected Question 7 on housing

Question 7 on “starter homes,” rejected by Massachusetts voters by a slim margin last week, attracted strong opposition in New Bedford’s suburbs. The ballot measure, introduced amidst a statewide housing crisis, would have allowed single-family homes to be built on 5,000 square foot lots, if they were connected to water and sewer services.

Taunton dad had too many model trains. So he opened a biz for all ages

Taunton resident Joseph Moreton had a problem: he had too many model trains. "We have a really small home" and have "four kiddos," his wife Gabrielle Moreton said. "He would always bring out the trains with the kids, and you would always have to take them and put them away because there's no space at all." "One day he's like, you know what? I need a space so we can keep them out all the time," she said. "Then he's like, even better yet, I would love for the public to come and enjoy it as well." That idea became Mass Model Railroad Club at 52 Main St. in downtown Taunton . The business houses Joseph's collection of model trains for the public to drive, and also allows people to bring their own trains in to drive on the tracks inside the facility. Joseph said that the business appeals to anyone "from 5 years old up until death, really." Here's what we know. Who is the new Miss Taunton? Meet Miss Taunton and Miss Taunton's Teen 2027. Who were runners-up? Train club is after-school activity The business operates under a membership model, wherein customers pay a monthly membership fee to

YOUR VIEW: Canty speech ‘disrespectful, demeaning and judgmental’

Along with other residents of West Plymouth, I attended the Select Board meeting on November 10, 2026. I live very close to the huge 392-apartment, 40B proposal by developer Rick Vayo, which the Select Board summarily voted to approve on a fast track, and to send a prepared Memorandum of Agreement and Support letter to the state housing agency, with no residents of the area present at the meeting.

Step Inside This Massachusetts General Store Where The Food Is Straight Out Of A Hallmark Movie

If New England charm had a physical address, it would probably be 1228 Russells Mills Road in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Davoll’s General Store is the kind of place that makes you feel like the director of a feel-good movie decided to build a set, except everything here is completely real and the food is significantly better than anything you’d find on a film set.

National Grid offers Fall River homes free home battery systems

National Grid is launching a pilot program that will provide no-cost home battery systems to as many as 125 income-eligible households in the Fall River area. The BackupBattery+ program will offer systems with up to 45 kWh of battery storage, according to a community announcement. The batteries can provide at least four hours of backup power during outages while also helping reduce demand on the local electric grid when electricity use is high. National Grid is partnering with Haven Energy and Citizens for Citizens on outreach to eligible residents. The pilot is designed to test whether coordinated residential batteries can address local grid needs while expanding access to technology that can carry significant upfront costs. “BackupBattery+ will deliver a direct benefit to Fall River area customers, providing no-cost access to backup power and battery storage technologies that have traditionally been out of reach for many households,” said Steve Caldwell, vice president of Energy Efficiency and Clean Programs at National Grid. “This pilot will also help us test how coordinated home batteries can address local grid needs and learn whether this model can deliver meaningful value for participating households, the local community, and the broader electric system.” How the home battery
