“Thank you, Madam President. I want to thank Councilor Murphy for adding me as a co-sponsor and for bringing attention to this issue. For me, this hearing needs to focus first on accountability from the Boston Transportation Department. The community has raised concerns about safety along Parker Street and at Tremont Street for years. And the city's own transportation planning process identified this intersection as a crash cluster back in 2023. The city also identified Parker Street from Tremont Street to Allegheny Street as a high crash corridor for people biking and was considering…”

“Madam President, I would like to add Councillor Santana as the second original co-sponsor. Councillor Santana so added. Thank you, Madam President. Earlier this year, this council passed a resolution supporting the 21st Century Road to Housing Act. Now that it has become federal law, I believe the next question for Boston is straightforward. How do we take advantage of it? The act became Public Law 119-101 on July 11th and contains a number of housing programs and policy changes that could have implications for cities like Boston. The law creates opportunities around affordable housing…”

“Thank you, Madam President. And I want to thank Councillor Flynn for adding me as an original co-sponsor and for continuing to bring attention to the public health disparities that persists across our cities. Boston is home to some of the best hospitals and healthcare institutions in the world. But access to those resources and the opportunity to live a long and healthy life are still not experienced equally across our communities. The Boston Health Commission's 2026 Closing the Gap Report provides a particularly concerning example. From 2013 to 2024, the life expectancy gap between Black…”

“Thank you, Madam President. Earlier this year, I filed a resolution calling for a temporary suspension of the state gas tax as Massachusetts residents face rapidly increasing fuel costs. That resolution did not pass in April, but since then, the situation at the pump has only gotten worse. Yesterday, Governor Healey announced that she will file legislation to suspend Massachusetts $0.24 per gallon tax. And I think I may have called for that earlier. $0.24 per gallon tax on gasoline to suspend it for two months. Under the proposal, retailers would be required to pass the savings on to…”

“Madam President, I do support the Blackstone School getting a swimming pool. Tomorrow morning is the funeral, the home going for Victoria Williams, the former chair of Ward 12, and a former fair housing director in the city. I'll be at that funeral tomorrow morning, but I do support Councilor Flynn and his efforts to bring the pool to the Blackstone School. Thank you.”

“Thank you, Madam President. I wanted to lift up the family of good family friend Fred Davis who passed. And even though he's in California, his family's in California, it doesn't lessen the pain from the loss of Fred Davis.”
