Bet the people who spent all that money going to Harvard Business school felt some type of way when they realized that they could have saved thousands with one trip to a bargain book store.

Sometimes the kindest words come wrapped in lint-covered peppermints and a voice that’s weathered every kind of storm.

Energy affordability means "Households must be able to access the energy they need to maintain comfortable living conditions, participate in modern society, and manage energy costs without facing energy poverty or undue financial strain." MA Report: www.mass.gov/doc/irwg-nea...
