BOSTON -- Attorney General Tom Reilly, in a proposed clampdown on charitable non-profits that lavish money and benefits on their officers, will unveil new regulations that boost oversight for the state's 22,000 charities and hike penalties for those that flout the law.

'Charities are not only essential to the well being of our citizens, they play an important role in our state's economy. This legislation is aimed at bringing more fiscal discipline to the charitable community, while at the same time allowing them to continue to do the important work that they do on so many fronts,' he said.
