The Worcester police want $4K before sending records about Officer Mark Rojas to the Telegram & Gazette. Also this week: "At least six city police officers are under investigation for fraudulently claiming overtime pay for time spent testifying in court cases."
Some good things in Worcester: the American Antiquarian Society, the Latin Festival, the Worcester World Cup, the Dive Bar's new patio, and Jeff Barnard's recovery.
Worcester Magazine had a nice article on street vendors this week. We finish the show with some audio interviews with vendors.
Choice snippet of the proposed vendor regulations:
For purposes of this provision a threat shall include the assemblage of any number of people in the traveled portion of any public or private way within three hundred feet of the vendor, peddler or merchant.
