Worcester, MA- On this edition of The Rundown Tom Marino of thisweekinworcester.com and Mark Henderson of the016.com spoke about several major news stories. They began with an exclusive report from Marino’s outlet alleging that an AI targeting error led to the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran. The conversation then shifted to local Worcester topics, including a critical analysis of the city’s economic development reports, which they argued lacked context about stalled projects and a severe housing shortage.
They also discussed the high cost of development in Worcester, the use of tax incentives, and the need for developer accountability. Another significant topic was the Department of Justice’s settlement with Ticketmaster/Live Nation, which they described as a “slap on the wrist,” and praised Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell for continuing to pursue the case.
Finally, they touched on lighter local news, such as the opening of a new restaurant and the public’s high interest in hospitality stories, before concluding with concerns about a potential delay in the development of a much-needed homeless day center on Gold Street.
