AG sues mall firm over its gift cards

Reilly says terms violate Mass. law:
Attorney General Thomas F. Reilly yesterday accused a major mall operator in a suit of illegally selling a gift card with numerous fees and a one-year expiration date, but the terms haven't deterred the Massachusetts Department of Social Services from purchasing $250,000 worth of the cards this year for its clients.
You read about it here first, three months ago.

I'm glad to see the next Governor of Massachusetts is doing something about it, and sad to see that the Massachusetts Department of Social Services is throwing money away on these cards.
