NEW BEDFORD -- The city of New Bedford awarded Francesco Insolia a five-year tax break in 2004, when he started expanding Michael Bianco Inc., his clothing and leather manufacturing business. By the time federal agents raided the factory this week and detained 361 workers on illegal immigration charges, he had already reaped more than $50,000 in tax savings.

The finding spurred New Bedford officials Tuesday to launch an audit of every business awarded a tax break over the last 10 years to make sure they are in compliance with hiring laws.

"We're going to move to get every cent of that money back," said Mark Morrissey, the Economic Development Council's executive director, standing yesterday in a city office building with Mayor Scott W. Lang.
