I know two separate people who have received free housing vochures in Worcester as well as free utilities, free food and free health insurance. One is a thief that steals anything and everything they can. The other one got help because of chronic homelessness which is a blatant lie and now uses the house to make crak cocaine. I also know a person who lives in a section 8 community who has her significant other living there while they scam the system. The significant other doesn't work due to the immense amount of back child support owed for the kids he lives with. All of these people have been reported to the state and NOTHING has been done. All the while,we can barely make it in two people's income. Massachusetts doesn't give a shit about its taxpayers, only about the tax sucking scum that live here. However they will realize how bad they have screwed up when the money makers leave the state.
