Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria was erroneously paid an extra $180,000 over several years, according to Massachusetts Inspector General Jeffrey Shapiro, who cited a subtle change in language before an ordinance was approved in 2016. In a letter to Everett City Council President Stephanie Martins Thursday, Shapiro said his office received a complaint in February of 2022 about $220,000 that DeMaria received in longevity payments between September of 2016 and April of 2021.

North Surry won back-to-back games on Jan. 8-9 to rebound from just its second loss of the season. North opened the season with a 1-point loss to Ashe County back in November, then went on a 9-game winning streak that carried into the new year. Forbush ended North Surry’s streak on Jan. 7, but a redemption win over Ashe and a conference victory over West Wilkes has North back on track. kAm%96 vC6J9@F?5D 4=:>365 2D 9:89 2D }@] b :?
