Towns urge crackdown on housing law violators

Towns urge crackdown on housing law violators - The Boston Globe: "Communities in Massachusetts are pushing for a crackdown on developers who exploit the state's affordable housing law, following a report by the inspector general's office that the law has become a 'pigfest' for certain developers.

Senator Brian A. Joyce, a Milton Democrat, and Representative Kevin G. Honan, a Brighton Democrat, have asked the four state agencies that provide financing to the developments to explain what they are doing to enforce the law's profit cap. Joyce said legislation may be introduced after Sullivan releases his full report.
