Important Payment Information

 

If you are paying your real estate, sewer, or water bills through your bank using Bill Pay, DO NOT send the payment to the lockbox Boston address that is listed on your bill. This will significantly delay your payment because the lockbox will reject the payment and forward it to our office because no payment stub is included.

 

Instead, you will need to create a new vender account using 83 Greene Street, North Smithfield, RI 02896 address. Please allow at least 10 business days for the bank to process your payment. We do not accept EFT and they will need to issue a paper check and mail it to us.

[[ watch for updates ]]        Lawyers for the Trump administration are going before an appeals court currently to argue in favor of Trump's efforts to deport Venezuelan nationals with the Alien Enemies Act. The DC Court of Appeals is listening to arguments from both sides as the Trump administration filed to reverse Judge James Boasberg's temporary restraining order that blocked the White House from deporting people under the hardly used wartime law. The judge ordered any flights in the air to be turned around but some still landed in El Salvador.        Crews in the Carolinas are fighting multiple wildfires that have burned hundreds of acres. The Table Rock fire in South Carolina started Friday and has burned 13-hundred acres with zero containment. In North Carolina, two wildfires are burning uncontained in the western part of the state.        The White House is claiming Mahmoud Khalil covered up his work for a United Nations agency in his application to become a permanent resident. Khalil is a legal immigrant and a former Columbia University student being targeted after participating in pro-Palestinian protests. The Trump administration is detaining him under a law that allows the Secretary of State to declare someone a risk to the nation's interests. DOJ lawyers accuse Khalil for working for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the relief agency for Palestinian refugees.        U.S. and Russian diplomats are meeting in Saudi Arabia to discuss a potential ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. The U.S. is looking to negotiate a naval ceasefire in the Black Sea before moving on to a more comprehensive agreement. The meeting comes a day after U.S. officials met with their Ukrainian counterparts in efforts to eventually end the three-year-old war launched by Moscow.        President Trump is not pleased with his official portrait in the Colorado State Capitol building. On Sunday, Trump made a Truth Social post ripping the portrait, calling it "purposefully distorted," among other things. Trump is blaming the portrait on the state's Democratic Governor Jared Polis, calling on him to "take it down," and says the governor "should be ashamed of himself." But, it was actually Republicans who led efforts to get Trump's portrait hanging in the state capitol starting in 2018.        The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament is down to the Sweet 16. All four one-seeds are still alive as Auburn, Duke, Florida and Houston have each cruised through the first two rounds. Six-seed BYU is making its first appearance in the regional semifinal round since 2011 while Michigan State is making its 16th trip to the Sweet 16 under head coach Tom Izzo.
