Residents of Linfield, you were urged to come out tonight and share your thoughts, your concerns, ask questions about changing the zoning in parts of town to allow for the building of multifamily units. This mandate is part of a
statewide push to create more housing near public transportation. Now town meeting votes on the controversial issue in just a few weeks. We'll have more on that as it happens. And now to Norton, and this is going, you know, town to town here. Norton is also strongly questioning the MBTA's strict new law requirements. At last night's town meeting, residents voted against approving the new zoning by laws and opted instead to table it until the spring. The select
Board voted to oppose the by law. Earlier this month, the district would have been rezoned for multi family housing right near the golf course in Norton on Route one point forty, but again they're voting to table that for a few months. Whether front, there's a hurricane in the Pacific Ocean today, Hurricane Christy, which just was strengthened to a Cat three storm by the national folks. This is

incrementally going down by about five degrees every day. But you know, it's all relative. We were at a record high of eighty three degrees in spots earlier this week. All right in. The heat is on on Beacon Hill. The Massachusetts State Auditor is accusing lawmakers of refusing to be transparent, and WBC's Mike maclin and gives us the deal.
It is immral and unethical for any politician up on Beacon Hill to withhold information about how taxpayer dollars are being spent.
State Auditor Diana Desauglio took direct aim at Hobson Senate leaders as she released a highly critical audit of the legislature, accusing them of failing to live up to their constitutional responsibilities with respect to accountability.
It is our duty as elected officials to abide by the Constitution, which says that we are at all times accountable to the people.
Legislative leaders fired back, accusing Dizaglio of political grand standing and trying to violate the separation of powers in state government.
Separation of powers and the Constitution of this Commonwealth exists to protect the people and not the politicians.

The Stop and Shop on West Boylston and Woocester is closing. The Stop and Shop on Mattachisaid Street in Pembroke is closing. And the closures come amid a wave of retail endings
from bob stores to Christmas tree shops. We saw big lots, bed bath and beyond going to the great retail beyond. But it could be coming back like a phoenix. Apparently there's reports of that as well. We'll see. Okay, just when you thought I'm going to the drive through and getting me a burger, health officials link Mickey DA's quarter pounders to a deadly e Coli outbreak.
