Winter gas rates for many in Mass. hold steady — a rare reprieve as other costs rise

On a gray November morning in Worcester, the gas bill that lands in a mailbox can feel like a verdict. Heat is not a luxury in New England. It is the difference between a livable kitchen and a room a family abandons after dinner. This year, for many households, that verdict is unusually calm. Massachusetts gas rates for the winter period are holding steady for a large share of customers, a pause that arrives while groceries, insurance, and rent keep climbing. Regulators approved supply prices that do not jump the way they did in the hardest winters of the early 2020s. The relief is real. It is also narrow, and it does not rewrite the longer story of what it costs to stay warm north of Hartford and south of the Canadian border.

YOUR VIEW: Parking plan ‘deserves more scrutiny’

Apparently, Plymouth has a parking problem. The proposed solution is to pave more of the town. According to the Plymouth Independent, the town is considering a $1.2 million to $1.5 million project to expand parking behind Nathaniel Morton Elementary School from 60 spaces to 150. The project would add nearly 10,000 square feet of pavement and provide free public parking outside school hours. Officials describe it as a “win-win.”
