BROCKTON – Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz s office is sending $32,000 to eight community groups as part of a program that reinvests money seized from drug crimes.
Cruz s office annually gives some of the cash seized in drug raids and similar operations to groups typically focused on fighting drug abuse.
“Each year, our office awards numerous Community Reinvestment Program funds to youth organizations, school districts, neighborhood associations and (senior assistance) programs throughout Plymouth County, at no cost to taxpayers,” Cruz said in a statement.
“Fast forward to 2020 and COVID-19: Many of these groups and organizations struggled. They do such great work and people in the community rely on their help. I am proud that we can steer these funds to good use.

BRIDGEPORT The village of Bridgeport is looking to fill two open positions after a council member submitted his letter of resignation and the fiscal officer’s last day is set for late June.
After nearly four years on council, Councilman David Rice submitted his letter of resignation Tuesday. Had he remained on council, Rice would have been up for reelection later this year.
Mayor Norma Teasdale made the announcement during council’s regularly scheduled meeting, as Rice was not present Tuesday. She said Rice opted to resign due to “personal reasons.”
“I received a resignation from Mr. Rice for his council seat effective today (Tuesday),” she said.
