You don't need a whole institute to figure out the region's economic problems. They're clearcut and include high utility rates from Unitil (as well as other factors like limited highway access). But of course Antonucci serves on Unitil's Board of Directors so this institute of his won't be looking at that, even though "it's that simple".

If it's so damn easy to figure out, why haven't you fixed it?
Biggest problem for Fitchburg to overcome is the sad sack, life hating, negative creeps that live to kill any effort at improvement

What improvements have you got in mind, and who might these sad sack, life hating, negative creeps be?

Special interest politics.
Focus by state government (which regulates utilities) on people inside 128 - if they're generous inside 495.
Gerrymandering of state electoral districts so a disproportionate number of legislators live in Boston suburbs.(This is why almost all the state transportation $ went to Boston's Big Dig, by the way.)
Fear by most local politicians of taking on the powers that be.
Interlocking directorateships (e.g.,- Fitchburg State College and Unitil).
In a word, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Scorpio

It's a frustrating and rather disappointing day because you have to cope with delays and setbacks to your plans. A travel arrangement may have to be postponed or there could be a hitch about something connected with education. You're also feeling subdued and tired, and you're longing to spend some time on your own although this may not be possible. Don't worry, this difficult mood will soon blow over.
