- I believe you are refering to Len Evanchik, who was then (and may
- still be) Director of Telecommunications for the Commonwealth of
- Massachusetts (and yes, an MIT grad). One of first acts upon taking
- office was to take a calculator to his past Centrex bills. I believe
- he uncovered three to five years of double billing on all Centrex
- measured service calls. The refund was in the millions.
