Docket #0843 - Regarding the impact of CORI on access to employment
B
A
A
C
C
C
A
third
opportunity
I
know
sheriff
steve
tompkins
also
does
a
lot
of
important
work
here,
but
it's
it's
giving
people
giving
people
hope
giving
people
opportunity
and
letting
them
know
that
you
know
we
didn't
give
up
on
them
and
that
we're
still
here
trying
to
be
helpful
to
them,
and
although
people
might
look
down
at
someone
with
the
cory
that
that
could
be
our
brother,
that
could
be
our
sister
or
aunt
or
uncle,
and
would
we
want
to
give
them
a
second
opportunity
to
get
a
job
or
to
get
into
a
job
training
program.
C
So
that's
where
I'm
coming
from,
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
panelists.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
of
ferrari,
who
also
has
done
exceptional
work
on
this
issue
for
many
years
and
is
always
there
for
for
returning
citizens
so
again
want
to
say.
Thank
you
to
my
colleagues.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
mejia,
and
especially
the
panelists
for
for
your
work
on
this
issue
for
many
years.
Thank
you,
councilman
here.
A
E
Good
morning
and
thank
you,
chairwoman
mejia
for
hosting
the
hearing.
Thank
you
to
obviously
the
council
flynn
for
for
co-sponsoring
this
order
with
me
and
for
all
of
his
years
of
experience
as
a
probation
officer
for
the
commonwealth
of
mass,
and
also
thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
administration
and
other
experts
and
panelists
that
we
have
joining
us
today
to
discuss
this
important
issue.
E
Many
of
us
have
seen
firsthand
how
quarries
impede
a
person's
attempt
to
fully
participate
in
their
communities
and
ultimately
avoid
recidivism
during
my
time
as
as
the
council,
particularly
as
my
tenure
as
council
president,
I
created
a
special
committee
on
quarry
reform
and
have
since
continued
my
personal
efforts
and
advocacy
by
connecting
people
to
employers
and
opportunities
that
are
quarry
friendly.
I
you
often
hear
me
say
that
boston
is
an
opportunity
rich
in
a
resource-rich
city.
E
Unfortunately,
oftentimes
many
folks
and
organizations
are
working
in
separate
silos
and
I've
always
prided
myself
and
being
a
city-wide,
counselor
and
sort
of
being
the
bridge
that
connects
all
those
resources,
together
with
an
eye
towards
making
sure
that
those
individuals
who've
paid
their
debt
to
society.
E
Looking
to
turn
the
page
and
move
forward
have
opportunities,
there
are
resources
available
to
assist
those
with
quarries,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
organizations
out
there
whose
mission
it
is
to
connect
those
with
corey's
two
work
opportunities:
two
housing
opportunities,
two
health
care
opportunities,
such
as,
obviously
our
sheriff
sheriff
tompkins,
suffolk,
county
house
of
correction
roca,
and
also
I
know
that
we
have
we're
joined
here
by
attorney
joseph
easter
of
the
urban
league.
E
So
all
great
great
folks
and
great
organizations
well-intentioned
to
try
to
make
a
difference
here,
and
I
know
that
it's
been
a
lot
of
things
have
been
ruffled.
I
guess
with
covert
19.
So
this
hearing
is
important
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we're
keeping
our
efforts
around
corey
on
track.
Despite
you
know,
things
that
have
been
taking
place
as
a
direct
result
of
kovid.
E
So
I
know
I'd
have
to
say
that
also
the
walsh
administration
they've
made
core
reform
in
reducing
barriers
for
those
with
quarries
into
the
workforce
and
they've
made
that
a
priority.
I'm
happy
to
work
alongside
of
them,
but
I'm
also
looking
forward
to
hearing
hearing
from
the
leadership
of
the
office
of
workforce
development.
Today,
public
safety
returning
citizens
saw
boston,
bcyf,
etc
about
the
work
that
they're
doing.
You
know
in
our
city,
in
particular
their
efforts
around
corey
reform
in
light
of
covert
19,
as
well
as
the
new
project
opportunity
program.
E
So
criminal
record
system
certainly
needs
to
to
to
be
part
of
a
larger
discussion
here,
particularly
as
we
talk
about
you
know
the
impacts
of
covert
here
in
boston
across
the
commonwealth,
but
there
are
some
very
dedicated
professionals
and
experts.
E
You
know
in
this
space
that
that
we'll
be
hearing
from
today
and
I
just
look
forward
to
hearing
what
they
have
to
say,
but
also
finding
ways
that
we
could
be
working
closely
together
to
reduce
barriers
for
all
of
our
residents
to
make
sure
that
again,
as
I
mentioned,
if
they've,
if
they've
served
their
time
and
they've
paid
the
debts
of
society,
we
just
want
to
make
sure
everyone
gets
a
fair
shake
at
getting
a
job
access
to
housing,
access
to
health
care,
educational
opportunities
so
that
they
can
rejoin
society
and
be
productive
and
law
abiding
and
mentor
others
so
that
they
don't
make
the
same
mistakes
that
the
individual
made
initially.
E
A
Thank
you
thank
you
for
that.
I
am
gonna
go
next
to
and
I'm
sorry
the
person
who
usually
for
my
team
who's
usually
doing
this
is
not
here
with
me
today.
So
I'm
going
to
have
to
depend
on
my
colleagues.
I
believe
the
next
city
councilor
that
I
saw
on
the
screen
was
president
council
councilor
district
7,
kim
janey
opening
up
to
you.
If
you're
interested
in
any
remarks.
A
All
right,
so
I'm
going
to
assume
that
we're
going
to
move
on.
We
can
counsel
jamie
okay.
Now
I
can.
We
can't
hear
you
unmute
yourself.
A
A
Got
this
we're
going
to
go
next,
I'm
going
to
go
next
to
my.
The
next
is
district
counselor
liz
britain
from
district
9.
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
I'm
very
interested
to
hear
the
panelists
this
morning
on
this
very
important
topic.
I
think
it's
really
important
that
folks
get
a
second
chance
and
be
able
to
enter
the
workforce
and
be
successful.
F
A
G
Thank
you,
ma'am
chair,
thank
you
to
our
panelists
here
today.
G
I
was
a
public
defender
before
this,
but
you
know,
I
think,
all
the
data
and
all
the
studies
and
all
the
things
that
we
know
show
that
if
you
can
help
stabilize
lives
and
and
reduces
all
kinds
of
harmful
and
negative
community
impacts
and
stabilization
really
centers
around
whether
or
not
they
have
employment
and
a
steady
source
of
income,
whether
or
not
that
income
meets
their
needs,
whether
or
not
they
have
housing,
and
this
is
a
major
part
of
that
puzzle.
You
know,
work
brings
a
feeling
of
dignity.
G
It
brings
a
whole
bunch
of
different
things.
It
brings
the
ability
to
live
in
a
productive
way
and
quarries
for
far
too
long
had
been
almost
a
complete
barrier
and
now
we're
in
a
situation
where
any
kind
of
improvement
we
can
make
for
folks
who
really
need
the
ability
to
find
work
are
happy
and
willing
to
find
work
are
trying
to
find
work,
that
they
have
the
ability
to
actually
work,
and
so
this
is
an
important
hearing.
G
I
thank
the
makers
and
I
think
the
panelists
and
I
look
forward
to
hearing
ways
in
which
we
can
make
this
better
in
ways
in
which
it's
it's
working,
as
is
if,
if
so
in
ways
in
which
we
can
really
improve
on
what
is
working.
If
that's
the
case,
thank
you.
A
B
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
everyone
who's
here
today.
I
think
that
this
is
going
to
be
certainly
a
robust
conversation,
just
thinking
about
the
panel
that
is
before
us
this
morning.
So
I'm
going
to
save
my
comments,
maybe
for
a
little
bit
later,
because
I
do
want
to
get
to
this.
I
think
what
most
of
us
would
say
is
a
highly
regarded
panel
of
guests
today.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
to
the
makers.
H
Thank
you,
councillor
mahia,
and
thank
you
to
the
sponsors
for
bringing
forth
this
important
topic.
It
was
important
before
covert
19.
Now
it
really
is
given
that
everyone's
economic
situation
is
exacerbated
because
of
covert
19,
and
so
we
want
to
do
all
we
can
to
eliminate
any
barriers.
I
am
absolutely
looking
forward
to
the
conversation.
H
I
do
want
to
add
that
obviously
counselor
president
janey
and
I
just
introduced
an
ordinance
with
respect
to
eliminating
someone's
credit
report
and
credit
history
as
a
barrier
to
employment,
which
is
also
a
major
issue,
but
connects
very
much
to
the
cory
issue,
so
wanted
to
flag
that
and
looking
forward
to
hearing
panelists
thoughts
on
that
as
well.
But
thank
you
for
the
work
you
do
again.
Thank
you
to
the
sponsors
and
thank
you.
Council,
mejia,.
A
I
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
chair,
grateful
to
the
makers
for
this
important
hearing,
and
I
just
want
to
thank,
I
was
able
to
join
the
office
of
returning
citizens
last
week
for
a
really
great
conversation
about
housing,
and
I
know
that
certainly
coming
out
of
kind
of
the
affordable
housing
world
myself.
I've
seen
how
much
quarries
are
a
barrier
to
safe
and
stable
housing
for
folks,
which
really
then
becomes
a
barrier
to
rebuilding
life
in
a
lot
of
ways.
I
So-
and
I
know
I
see
multiple
folks
on
a
call
today
who,
from
trin
and
and
joe
feaster,
who
have
made
their
way
through
housing
work,
even
though
they're
doing
some
other
things
right
now.
So
I
just
really
to
me
that's
a
very
important
piece
of
the
puzzle
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
broader
conversation
and
yeah.
I
I
just
wanted
to
thank
kevin
again
for
having
me
chad,
our
returning
citizens,
who
I
think
can
in
so
many
ways
be
real
models
of
of
what
civic
engagement
and
and
recognizing
the
like
preciousness
of
of
getting
to
be
knit
into
community
really
means,
and
I
think,
can
be
really
powerful
advocates
for
themselves
and
so
looking
forward
to
being
an
ally
on
that
front.
Thanks.
Madam
chair,
thank.
A
J
You
not
have
a
clue.
Okay,
there
was
a
problem
with
the
audio.
It
was
not
muted,
but
for
some
reason
it
wasn't
connected.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
patience.
Thank
you
certainly
to
the
makers,
councillor
flynn
and
councillor
flaherty,
councillor
flynn,
you
have
been
just
a
huge
proponent,
supporting
workers
and
workers
rights.
Certainly
corey
is
a
big
barrier.
So
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
council
flaherty,
long-standing
history
and
advocacy
on
this
issue.
J
J
It
was
summertime
and
it
was
at
the
freedom
house
and
you
know,
there's
still
a
lot
more
work
that
has
been
done
since
and
needs
to
continue
to
be
done
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we
have
removed
barriers
and
created
a
level
playing
field
and
really
an
opportunity
for
folks
to
re-enter
society
and
become
productive
citizens
in
our
society
and
making
meaningful
contributions
to
our
communities.
And
so
I
am
grateful
for
this
opportunity.
J
I
will
say
now
that
I
do
have
to
take
another
call
and
will
not
be
able
to
stay
for
the
entire
thing,
but
we'll
review
the
tape.
I
want
to
also
give
a
shout
out
to
the
panel,
especially
mr
priester,
for
his
leadership
in
this
space
and
all
the
work
that
the
urban
league
has
been
doing
in
terms
of
workforce
development
and,
finally,
madam
chair,
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
all
you
do
looking
forward
to
a
productive
conversation
with
some
clear
action
steps
following
up.
So
thank
you
to
all
thank.
A
You
thank
you,
so
I'm
we're
going
to
get
right
into
the
panel,
but
before
we
do,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
everyone
for
being
here.
I
see
people
who
are
out
in
these
streets
doing
the
work
every
single
day.
Many
of
you
who
I've
worked
with
alongside
you,
so
I'm
really
happy
to
to
be
here
and
to
share
this
hearing
and,
more
importantly,
it's
really
about
what
what
happens
beyond
the
hearing.
A
Sometimes
we
join
and
we
have
a
hearing
about
a
hearing
or
a
meeting
about
a
meeting,
but
I
really
am
looking
forward
to
listening
and
then
taking
action
on
what
we
hear
and
to
ensure
that
everyone
has
the
resources
that
they
need
to
get
this
work
done.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
leadership
and
I
am
incredibly
humbled
to
see
this
panel
in
this
day
and
age
and
grateful
to
my
colleagues
for
bringing
us
together.
A
So,
let's
get
to
the
business
at
hand,
I
will
turn
over
the
conversation
to
the
panel
director
miranda
has
some
time
constraints,
so
we're
going
to
begin
with
him
so
director
miranda,
you
now
have
the
floor.
K
First
of
all,
thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
us
to
share
testimony
about
the
quarry
and
equitable
access
to
employment
opportunities.
Second
chances.
Those
things
speak
to
the
heart
of
brock.
For
those
of
you
who
don't
know
much
about
roca,
it's
an
organization,
that's
been
around
for
30
years,
and
the
goal
is
really
to
decrease
the
cycle
of
incarceration
among
young
people
15
to
24
at
the
highest
risk
of
gun
violence
at
the
highest
risk
of
domestic
violence
at
the
highest
risk
of
re-arrest.
K
A
few
other
things
that
you
should
know
about
us
is
we're
a
behavioral
health
health
organization,
that's
really
rooted
in
cognitive,
behavioral
therapy.
As
a
method,
we
do
use
brain
science
to
guide
our
understanding
of
young
people
and
their
traumas,
and
because
it
takes
the
young
people
that
we
work
with,
on
average
6
to
18
months,
to
make
significant
changes
or
to
even
attend
60
consecutive
days
of
work.
K
We're
not
a
six-month
program.
We're
not
a
two-year
program,
we're
a
four-year
program.
Calendar
year
to
date
at
roka,
boston,
we've
been
working
with
178
young
people
we're
actively
in
contact
with
sixty
percent
of
them.
Seventy
percent
of
our
young
people
are
engaged
in
employment,
educational
and
life
skills,
programming
and
sixty
two
percent
of
those
are
engaged
in
employment
programming.
K
K
K
The
third
thing,
I
would
say,
is
communicating
to
employers
about
the
quarry
in
a
professional
way,
and
the
last
thing
I'll
say
is
that
there's
inconsistency
around
the
use
of
the
phrase
quarry
friendly.
Sometimes
employers
are
friendly
to
some
charges,
but
not
others.
So
what
do
we
do
as
an
organization
to
help
with
these
barriers?
When
we
get
a
young
person
involved
in
roca,
we
immediately
involve
them
in
our
workforce.
Readiness,
readiness
curriculum
and
that
curriculum
includes
modules,
of
not
only
understanding
but
also
communicating
the
query.
K
The
second
and
perhaps
the
most
important
thing
that
we
do
is
we
develop
partnerships
with
local
employers
and
staffing
agencies
that
become
employment
pipelines.
This
helps
to
to
mitigate
some
of
the
things
that
some
of
the
barriers
that
the
quarry
that
the
corey
imposes
on
some
of
our
young
people.
K
The
third
thing
is,
we
do
train
our
staff
on
cory
rights
and
knowledge
of
the
quarry,
and
the
final
thing
is:
we
do
use
cognitive
behavioral
therapy
with
our
participants
to
help
them
to
to
really
emotionally
regulate
themselves
when
they're
having
to
communicate
about
their
query
to
employers.
The
job
market
is
tough
right
now,
our
young
people
are
competing
with
with
other
kind
of
more
qualified
candidates
at
the
moment.
K
So
it's
not
an
equal
playing
field,
so
anything
that
we
can
do
to
make
it
a
a
more
equitable
playing
field
is
great
and
I'll.
Take
any
questions.
If
anyone
has
it.
A
Thank
you.
Just
I'm
going
to
first
off
ask
our
co-sponsors
to
see
if
they
have
any
questions
I'll
go
to
counselor
flynn.
First.
C
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
had
a
question
about
what
would
the
next
step
be
after
the
landmark
legislation
that
governor
patrick
signed?
C
What
would
the
next
step
be
in
terms
of
mobilizing
and
working
to
even
strengthen
the
ability
for
returning
citizens
to
you
know,
do
more
work
on
their
quarry
or
make
or
give
them
a
better
opportunity
to
engage
in
job
training
or
housing
or
employment
opportunities?
K
C
Well,
you
know
the
the
cool
as
a
as
a
probation
officer,
the
the
frustrating
part
for
me
was
when
a
one
of
my
probationers
would
would
get
a
job,
would
get
a
job
offer
and
literally
be
starting
the
job,
and
then
the
company
would
would
conduct
a
a
background
check
and
at
that
time
the
background
check.
C
You
know
the
query
would
pop
up
in
the
background
check,
and
you
know
that
probationary
would
go
from
being
proud
and
proud
to
have
a
job
with
with
dignity
to
returning
to
my
office
in
the
probation
department,
discouraged
humiliated,
even
knowing
that
he
got
a
job,
but
this
past
keeps
keeps
staying
on
top
of
him,
preventing
him
for
from
employment.
So
I'm
just
I'm.
That
is
a
critical
issue,
so
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
what
what
is
our
next
step
to
prevent
that
situation?
That
happens
to
probably
many
people.
K
Yeah,
you
know
that's
it's
kind
of
a
broad
question
about
what
we
should
do
politically.
I
I
would
say
that,
speaking
for
our
participants,
it's
imperative
that
they
know
what
their
rights
are,
that
they
know
how
to
read
their
query
and
that
they
know
that
they
can
seal
things
and
correct
things
in
their
quarry
and
anything
that
we
can
do
to
help
those
initiatives.
K
Those
three
things
are
important
to
me.
I
I
can't
I
can't
speak
broadly
about
what
are
the
next
political
steps.
I
feel
like
my
work
is
a
bit
too
on
the
ground.
I
can
just
speak
to
the
work
that
we
do
on
the
ground,
but
I
appreciate
the
question
it's
imperative.
I
almost
feel
like
you
should
be
answering
that
question.
Well,.
C
You
had
you
made
a
good
point
there.
Kyle
is
because,
when
I,
when
my
guy,
when
my
guys
would
come
to
me
and
the
the
first
time,
I'd
look
at
their
corey
with
them
and
would
go
over
it,
sometimes
it
would
be
a
12-page
quarry,
sometimes
be
a
two-page
corey,
but
I
could
almost
guarantee
it.
There's
a
mistake
on
the
quarry
in
this
cases
that
are
still
opened.
That
should
have
been
closed.
That
should
have
been
closed
by
the
clerk's
office
at
in
in
various
courts.
C
But
it's
it's
important
for
people
with
the
corey
to
read
a
quarry
know
how
to
know
how
to
read
it
and
know
what
steps
to
take
place
if
they
think
there
is
a
mistake
on
their
corey.
It's
and
it's
very
difficult
at
times,
even
just
to
get
your
corey
as
as
many
people.
K
C
A
E
E
So
what's
that
path
or
that
sort
of
the
job,
whether
it's
is
it
obtaining
a
cdl
and
going
to
work
for
a
company
and
trucking
receiving
delivery
that
type
of
stuff,
or
is
it
more
on
the
computer
science
side
of
the
house
and
or
where
do
some
of
the
some
of
the
sort
of
the
the
roker
clients?
Where
do
they
want
to
work?
E
And
where
are
those
barriers
so
that
so
we
in
government
kind
of
probably
dovetailing
on
council
flynn
is
where
can
we
in
government
start
to
kind
of
move
in
that
direction?
You
know,
there's
clearly
a
lot
of
jobs
out
there
that
that
need
filling,
and
I'm
sure
that
there's
a
certain
segment
that
will
reach
out
certain
employees
will
reach
out
to
and
partner
with
roker.
E
But
some
of
roka's
clients
may
want
to
be
in
a
particular
in
a
particular
field
or
going
down
a
completely
different
road
and
but
because
the
barriers
to
entry
there.
So
how
can
we
in
government
sort
of
eliminate
some
of
those
barriers
to
entry
so
that
we
can
get
sort
of
a?
I
guess,
a
wider
representation
of
of
employers
in
boston
to
to
you
know
to
take
folks
with
a
quarry.
K
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much.
It's
it's
a
it's
an
important
question.
Given
given
the
direction
that
our
participants
take,
I
would
say
that,
because
of
where
our
young
people
are
disconnecting
with
education,
they
do
struggle
with
literacy.
They
do
struggle
with
comprehension,
so
oftentimes
during
their
work
with
us
and
it's
it's
a
period
of
it
can
go
from
two
to
four
years.
Our
program
is
four
years.
K
They
are
making
improvements
in
literacy
and
comprehension,
but
sometimes
not
where
we
would
always
like
them
to
be.
That
said,
the
sectors
that
that
make
sense
for
a
lot
of
our
population
are
going
to
be
in
logistics,
in
entry-level
logistics,
types
of
employment
opportunities
and
for
the
ones
that
are
able
to
get
their
high
set.
The
cdl
industries
definitely
are
are
a
place
for
them,
and
anything
you
can
do
in
those
two
sectors
would
be
helpful.
E
K
E
And
kyle,
that's
where
I
have
my
most.
The
success
that
I
have
is
as
a
former
teamster
and
someone
obviously
has
still
has
this
cdl
anytime,
you
can
encourage
someone
to
get
their
cdl
license
and
either
get
them
into
to
the
teamsters
union
and
or
any
other
company
that
is
looking
for.
For
you
know,
shipping
receiving
truck,
that's,
usually
a
pretty
pretty
good
path
and
obviously
down
at
down
at
the
rifling
marine
industrial
park
on
the
seafood
processing
and
the
warehousing
side.
E
I've
had
tremendous
success
down
there
as
well,
but
obviously
you
know
there
are
folks
that
probably
want
to
do
other
things
and
we
really
need
to
get
some
of
boston's
bigger
employers
to
buy
in
and
to
you
know,
get
some
skin
in
the
game
here
and
so
and
not
just
have
it
be.
You
know,
sort
of
our
teamsters
in
our
labor
organizations
in
building
trades,
but
also
you
know
you
talk
about,
and
I
see
it
regularly.
E
I
mean
that
the
ceos,
the
number
of
ceos
that
want
to
move
their
companies
to
boston,
because
all
that
boston
has
to
offer.
We
boast
the
best
colleges,
universities,
hospitals
and
network
of
community
health
centers
in
the
world
were
a
livable,
walkable,
relatively
safe
city,
and
that's
desirable.
Investment
is
going
to
continue.
Despite
covet,
investment
continues
to
come
to
boston
and
employers
are
bringing
their
companies
here.
The
problem
we're
seeing
is
that
we're
not
seeing
that
economic
opportunity
trickle
out
to
our
neighborhoods
and
the
pushback
as
well.
E
You
know
that
we
don't
have
a
prepared
workforce
or
you
know,
they'll
bring
their
employers
with
them
from
neighboring
jurisdictions,
states,
etc.
So
I
want
to
try
to
sort
of
change
that
trend
and
and
make
sure
that
we
do
have
a
pipeline
of
of
a
trained
workforce,
and
I
think
whether
it's
working
through
roker
urban
league,
even
you
know,
suffer
county
house
correction,
city's
workforce
development
department.
All
these
organizations
and
agencies
have
a
role
to
place.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
flaherty.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I've
been
having
some
issues
with
my
internet.
So
if
there's,
if
I
do
move
on,
I'm
going
to
ask
the
sponsors
of
this
hearing
to
continue
the
conversation,
I'm
gonna
move
on
by
a
show,
a
hand,
and
I
believe,
if
you
could
just
show
to
my
colleagues
if
you
have
any
questions
for
director
miranda
now
is
the
time
to
raise
those
blue
hands
and
and
if
you
don't
have
any
oh,
I
see
counselor
bach,
you
have
a
question.
You.
I
Have
the
floor,
thank
you
so
much
councillor
mejia
director
miranda.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
quickly
a
follow-up
about
the
eviction
ceiling.
Do
you
find
that
now?
I
think
it's
right
there's
different
different
waiting
periods
in
massachusetts?
Is
it
like
three
and
seven
years?
I
have
some
recollection
and
then
I
was
just
wondering.
I
know
that
in
in
some
states
people
need
a
lawyer
for
those
motions,
but
I
think
here
they
don't
do.
I
What
do
you
guys
see
in
terms
of
the
assistance
and
support
that
people
would
need
for
more
folks
to
get
those
records
sealed?
Because
I
think
of
that
as
something
to
the
point
of
counselor,
flaherty
and
flynn
mention,
you
know
whether
it's
providing
resources
or
changing
something
in
the
process
to
make
it
easier.
That
feels
like
the
type
of
thing
that
we
can
work
on.
K
A
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
see
no
other
blue
hands,
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
our
next
panelist
director
miranda
and
you're
more
than
welcome
to
stay,
but
I
know
you
have
other
places
to
go
really
do
appreciate
you
and
the
work
that
roca
is
doing
to
support
our
most
vulnerable
young
people.
So
thank
you
for
all
that
you
do.
A
If
that's,
okay
to
my
lead
sponsors
we're
good
to
go.
Okay,
I'm
gonna
move
on
now
to
our
next
panelist
rufus
falk
who's,
the
director
of
the
office
of
public
safety.
You
now
have
the
floor.
L
Good
morning
counselors
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
invitation.
My
name
is
rufus
j
falk,
I'm
the
director
for
the
mayor's
office
of
public
safety.
L
I
have
been
in
this
role
for
a
little
over
a
year
now
this
office
was
created
in
2014
to
be
that
department
that
addresses
some
of
the
gaps
and
some
of
the
issues
that
arise
in
this
public
safety
space,
whether
it
be
around
violence
prevention,
but
to
be
around
sort
of
breaking
down
those
silos
internally
and
also
making
sure
we
cultivate
relationships
with
some
of
those
external
partners
to
address
the
issues
around
which
are
sort
of
what
we're
talking
about
today,
the
impacts
of
corey
and
so
two
initiatives
that
I
want
to
sort
of
hit
on
it
and
before
I
even
get
to
that,
it's
sort
of
it's
sort
of
interesting
that
we've
been
talking
about
korean
sort
of
ceiling
ceilings.
L
L
That's
one
of
the
downfalls
of
living
in
roxbury.
I
live
in
a
playing
playing
pathway.
So
forgive
me
for
a
second
so
project.
We
created
project
opportunity
to
serve
as
that
entity
to
help
assist
individuals
impacted
by
cory
to
receive
free
legal
services
which
are
provided
by
lawyers
clearinghouse
to
see
to
to
have
those
codes
either
be
sealed
or
expunge
it
to
see
what
what
what
incidents
on
the
record
were
actually
eligible
for
doing
so
so
individuals
were
are
registering
for
free
receiving
free
legal
services
and
then
within
those
legal
services.
L
They
are
all
being
made
aware
of
what
what,
if
they're
eligible
to
have
their
corey,
sealed
or
expunged,
because
we
recognize
that
individuals
from
the
communities
in
which
we're
serving
roxbury
dorchester
mattapan
were
disproportionately
impacted
negatively
by
corey.
We
also
recognize
that
just
just
to
speak
plainly
that
a
black
man
without
a
cory
is
less
likely
to
receive
a
job
and
white
man
with
the
cory.
So
we
recognize
corey
doesn't
impact
everyone
equally.
So
we
know
we
have
to
be
intentional.
L
L
So
that's
where
project
opportunity
came
from
office
of
workforce
development,
office
of
public
safety
office
of
returning
citizens,
soil
boston,
looking
at
a
way
to
make
sure
we
can
interact
with
our
our
citizens
and
our
residents
impacted
by
course,
they
can
receive
those
free
legal
services
to
see
if
their
cores
can
be
sealed
or
expunged,
which
we
know
that
that
is
a
major
barrier
for
a
lot
of
the
publishers
that
we're
serving.
L
So
that
is
our
sort
of
one
of
our
answers
to
addressing
the
impacts
of
corey,
so
that
that's
project
opportunity
and
we've
had
two
what
webinar
series
one
just
sort
of
in
introducing
the
program.
The
second
one.
We
were
highlighting
the
opportunities
within
entrepreneurship
and
small
businesses,
because
we
also
recognize
that
a
lot
of
our
individuals
who
we
are
working
with
were
impacted
by
corey
want
to
start
their
own
businesses.
L
So
how
can
we
make
sure
that
they're
being
connected
with
those
resources,
so
project
opportunity
not
only
tries
to
seal
and
expunge
records,
we're
also
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
connecting
our
residents,
who
are
most
impacted
to
resources
in
the
program,
whether
it
be
internally
through
the
city
or
externally,
block
partners,
make
sure
that
we
are
making
us
a
seamless,
we're
creating
a
seamless
network
of
resources
and
advocacy
to
sort
of
support
our
individuals,
mostly
most
impacted?
L
So
that's,
that's,
just
a
small
sort
of
commercial
around
project
opportunity,
one
of
the
the
two
other
programs
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
hit
on
were
operation
exit
to
date.
We
have
104
graduates
of
operation
exit
operation
exit
is
a
partnership
between
the
building
trades
you
and
a
variety
of
city
partners
and
external
partners,
but
we
make
sure
that
we
are
connecting
with
those
individuals
most
likely
to
be
harmed
by
gun
violence
or
to
arms
on
by
gun
violence
and
try
to
help
them
transition
out
of
that
lifestyle
into
a
career.
L
These
are
the
individuals
who,
if
not
plugged
into
operate
operation
exit,
might
find
it
very
hard
to
be
able
to
find
a
career
because
they
either
lack
the
academic
credentials
or
they
just
don't,
have
the
work
history
to
be
able
to
earn
or
earn
a
livable
and
working
wage
living
within
the
city
so
operation.
To
this
day,
we
have
104
graduates
immense
success.
L
We
are
trying
to
expand
operation
exit
beyond
the
building
of
trades,
recognize
that
everyone
doesn't
want
to
be
a
construction
worker,
so
we're
trying
to
build
other
partnerships
outside
of
the
building
trade,
whether
it
be
tech,
would
it
be
in
these
other
spaces,
so
any
help
we
can
get
from
the
council
in
terms
of
some
other
industry,
we're
trying
to
look
into
the
health
industry,
but
I
think
a
lot
of
our
sort
of
efforts
right
now
have
sort
of
been
slowed
down
to
cover,
but
we're
trying
to
be
innovative
in
that
space,
and
the
last
program
I
will
discuss
is
operation
renew,
which
is
a
partnership
with
office
of
returning
citizens,
office
of
recovery
services,
the
gavin
group
and
the
federal
probation
department,
where
we
are
connected
with
individuals
who
are
on
probation
with
federally
helping
to
assist
them,
getting
skills,
training
and
then
helping
them
transition
into
employment.
L
Today
we
had
12
graduates,
we
have
two
more
in
the
pipeline
being
graduate
who
are
going
to
be
graduating
soon
and
then
trying
to
transition
them
into
more
gainful
employment.
So,
just
from
a
public
safety
standpoint,
we
are
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
are
coordinating
with
every
city
department
who
who
touched
this
space
externally,
trying
to
make
sure
we
further
our
partnerships
around.
How
do
we
get
preventative?
L
Also
so
get
people
before
they
get
a
quarry,
so
we're
trying
to
do
it
on
both
ends,
stop
individual
before
they
engage
and
get
themselves
according
for
those
who
are
impacted
by
courage
and
make
sure
we
remove
any
additional
barriers
so
trying
to
be
on
the
ground,
trying
to
be
innovative
and
just
trying
to
be
effective
as
effective
as
possible.
A
A
I'm
gonna
gonna
first
ask
our
sponsors
if
they
have
any
questions
and
then
I'm
going
to
ask
my
colleagues
to
please
raise
your
blue
hand
if
you
are
interested
in
asking
questions,
so
I'm
going
to
first
go
to
counselor
flynn.
C
Thank
you,
council
mejia.
I'm
gonna
hold
off
on
asking
questions
I'll.
Give
I'll
give
my
colleagues
an
opportunity
to
to
weigh
in.
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
roof
is
just
sort
of
one
area.
You
you
sort
of
touched
on
it,
or
at
least
it
made
me
think
where
there
could
be
sort
of
a
barrier
right
now
and
it's
our
district
courts
are
not
on
all
cylinders
right
now
and
I
have
to
assume
that
that's
going
to
make
it
very
difficult
for
individuals
that
you
are
working
with
and
in
servicing
to
remove
defaults
and
or
maybe
to
get
a
record
sealed
or
expunged
just
in
light
of
covid.
E
So
maybe
we
could
try
to
identify
ways
where
we
could
work
closely
together.
You
know
having
spent
time
as
an
assistant,
d.a
and
then
now
obviously
on
the
defense
bar.
I
know
that
relief
council
arroyo
is
still
on
joining
us
and
he's
got
some
defense
fire
experience,
but
maybe
we
could
put
our
heads
together
and
work
with
the
trial
court,
because
I
have
to
assume
that
you
could
have
a
young
individual,
that's
sort
of
looking
to
turn
the
corner.
They
may
be
hung
up
on
sort
of
a
couple.
E
Small
defaults
could
be
for
a
chapter.
90
violation
could
just
be
really
de
minimis.
If
you
will,
but
but
for
the
fact
that
that's
still
an
open
matter
and
or
he
can't
remove
the
default
and
have
it
closed,
prevents
he
or
she
from
kind
of
moving
sort
of
through
that
process
to
to
put
it
behind
them
so
and
then
obviously
the
same
on
the
on
the
expunge
and
the
ceiling,
just
getting
the
appointments
getting
the
time
to
to
have
the
motion
filed
in
her
undercove
it.
E
I
gotta
think
that
all
of
that
stuff
is
being
sort
of
pushed
aside
and,
and
that
would
be
a
serious
impediment.
I
think
to
folks
that
we're
trying
to
help
here
so,
but
I
appreciate
the
work
you're
doing
rufus
in
your
circles
and-
and
let
me
know
what
I
could
do
in
my
capacity
to
sort
of
navigate
some
of
the
impediments
that
that
are
in
place
because
of
covid.
L
Absolutely
thank
thank
you,
council
and
I'll
make
sure
that
so
the
the
my
thought,
partner
and
sort
of
the
person
who's
really
driving
this
initiative
is
the
deputy
director
of
officer.
Workforce
development
and
program
is
bethany
sirota
and
she
it
would
be
okay
if
I
get
her
and
I
and
you
on
an
email,
just
sort
of
further
discuss
this.
E
Yeah
that'd
be
great
happy
to
help
in
trying
to
see
if
we
can
get
to
get
some
stuff
moving
through
the
trial
court
to
help
people,
whether
it's
small
default
removals
ian
or
just
some
small
stuff,
that's
kind
of
hanging
out
there
that
can
be
resolved.
E
You
know
almost
arguably
administratively,
with
the
district
attorney's
office
and
or
the
trial
put,
so
that
we
can
get
folks
moving
through
the
system.
It
would
help
folks
at
broker
would
help
people
in
urban
league.
It
obviously
would
help
the
people
that
that
you've
been
trying
to
help.
So
it's
all
about
moving
forward.
C
Rufus
so
rufus
do
you
think
with
the
with
the
homeless
situation,
we
have
in
boston
many
of
them.
C
Many
of
them
are
on
probation
and
they
probably
do
have
a
lot
of
default
warrants
that
are
out
I'm
just
thinking
out
loud.
Is
there
an
opportunity
for
us,
as
council
of
fiery
mentioned,
to
work
with
the
courts
and
maybe
address
the
default
warrants,
have
them
removed,
but
also
it's
an
opportunity
to
work
with
that
person
to
maybe
get
into
a
drug
treatment
program.
C
You
know
we're
helping
them
remove
a
warrant
and
also
we're
trying
to
help
help
them
get
into
a
treatment
program.
Just
want
to
see
what
your
thoughts
might
be
on
that
abs.
L
Absolutely
so
myself,
deputy
director,
serota
and
director
generation
from
office
of
recovery
services,
literally
just
had
this
very
conversation
about
making
sure
that
we
tie
our
initiative
together.
L
Recovery
services
are
doing
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
good
work
in
that
mass
and
cash
area
clifford
park
and
some
of
these
other
other
spaces
that
a
lot
of
our
homeless
individuals
are
are
living
at,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
sort
of
include
our
efforts
and
make
sure
that
there's
some
synergy
amongst
what
we're
offering
their
project
opportunities,
some
of
the
other
resources
and
some
of
their
efforts,
so
we're
actually
starting.
We
had
that
conversation
last
week
and
so
we're
building
that
to
be
a
part
of
this
overall
initiative.
C
L
A
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
recognize.
I
believe
counselor
campbell,
texted
me
and
said
that
she
wanted
to
say
something,
but
I
don't
see
her
hand
up.
H
Yeah
so
high
counts
over
here.
For
some
reason,
my
I'm
on
my
phone
because
my
laptop
was
my
technology
is
acting
up
this
morning.
So
I
my
blue
hand,
situation
doesn't
work,
but
I
I'll
I'll
continue
to
just
listen
to
all
the
panelists.
So
you
don't
have
to
come
to
me
I'll.
Just
ask
something
at
the
end,
but
just
wanted
to
thank
carl
and
rufus
for
their
work
if
they
have
to
jump
off.
So
thank
you.
A
No,
no
worries
and-
and
don't
worry
council
campbell,
if
you
need
to
say
something
at
any
time,
you
could
just
always
text
me
and
I
will
give
you
the
floor.
I
am
the
chair
of
this
hearing,
so
I
have
to
reserve
the
right
to
allow
people
to
speak,
so
don't
ever
apologize
for
wanting
to
be
a
part
of
the
conversation,
so
I
you
want,
you
want
to
know
other
hands.
A
Thank
you,
okay.
I
do
want
to
ask
rufus
in
terms
of
what
what
else,
as
as
you
know
as
counselors
and
in
terms
of
budget,
you
know
I
mean
the
budget
is
next
year-
we're
going
to
go
through
that
whole
cycle
again,
you
know,
I'm
always
thinking
about
what
resources
do
we
need,
because
we
we
always
have
these
conversations.
A
It
would
be
really
helpful
to
me
to
walk
out
of
here
with
some
really
clear
definition
of
here's,
two
things
that
my
department
needs,
whether
it
be
resources
or
just
connections
like
tell
me
two
things
that
we
can
go
out
into
these
streets
and
fight
for
on
your
behalf,
to
help
support
the
work
that
you're
trying
to
move
forward.
Just
give
me
two
things.
L
So
any
any
connections,
any
relationships
that
you
might
have
with
some
business
leaders
who
are
in
a
space
that
be
willing
to
take
on
two
three
four
five
employees
at
a
time.
I
think
that
would
be
great
greatly
helpful
for
a
lot
of
the
work
that
a
lot
of
people
on
this
call.
A
lot
of
these
panelists
are
doing,
I
think,
the
second
part
of
it,
which
is
less
budget
related.
But
more
of
more
round
narrative.
How
are
we
changing
the
narrative
around
individuals
who
are
impacted
by
corey?
L
I
think
there's
still
a
stigma
attached
to
individuals
who
have
returned
home
from
from
incarceration
who
have
been
living
within
our
community
for
years,
who
have
who
have
been
productive,
but
it
still
feels
like
they
still
aren't
fully
accepted
and
still
aren't
fully
intertwined
back
into
society.
So
what
can
we
do
around
narrative
to
show
that?
Not
only
are
we
accepting
of
these
individuals
because
they
are
our
brothers
sisters
and
cousins,
but
we
value
their
their
their
their
input
and
their
experience.
L
We
recognize
that
we
can't
achieve
this
this
this
one
boston
without
them
being
fully
entwined
and
ingrained
into
society.
So
I
don't.
I
don't
know
what
that
is.
I
think
it
is
more
of
us
sort
of
in
every
neighborhood
speaking
around
the
necessity
to
invest
in
these
individuals,
invest
in
programs
to
work
with
these
individuals
but,
more
importantly,
saying
that
they
have
something
to
offer
and
in
order
for
boston
to
be
all
that
boston
can
be.
They
have
to
be
not
only
just
just
present,
but
they
have
to
be
in
positions
and
places
of
leadership.
L
So
I
think,
just
just
impacting
the
narrative
and
helping
us
make
more
formalized
partnerships
with
with
industry
leaders
and
business
leaders.
So
we
can
help
find
placement
for
individuals
that
we're
working
with.
A
Thank
you
for
that
rufus.
I
really
do
appreciate
that
feedback
and,
as
the
chair
of
small
businesses
and
workforce
development,
I'm
committed
to
working
in
partnership
with
you
and
your
and
your
colleagues
who
are
trying
to
move
this
work
forward,
and
I'm
saying
this
in
the
public
record
hold
me
accountable
to
that
and
my
office
will
be
following
up
with
neil,
so
that
we
can
figure
out
how
we
move
this
work
forward.
A
M
Good
morning,
everyone,
unfortunately,
I
have
to
run
to
jump
on
another
call,
but
I'm
going
to
leave
you
in
the
capable
hands
of
our
service
delivery
manager,
dave
o
jefferson,
who
can
give
you
just
more
in-depth
details
about
the
population
of
kids
that
we're
working
with
and
how
corey
impacts
them.
N
Good
morning,
everybody
and
thank
you
for
having
me
be
a
part
of
this
panel,
I'm
david
jefferson,
I'm
a
service
delivery
manager
for
seoul
boston,
formerly
a
street
worker
program,
saw
is
an
acronym
for
street
outreach
and
advocacy
in
response.
We
serve
the
ages
between
14
and
24.
N
These
are
folks
who
are
actively
involved
with
gun
and
gang
violence
and
and
or
who
are
also
in
leadership
roles
or
have
some
kind
of
influence
within
the
gang
that
they're
in
we
have
24
street
workers
who
are
now
called
outreach,
engagement,
coordinators
and
they're
deployed
to
various
hotspots
throughout
the
city,
where
there
is
a
gang
presence,
we
have
six
resource
coordinators
who
are
charged
with
cultivating
relationships
with
different
educational
institutions,
employers
and
various
service
providers
to
create
pipelines
so
that
the
folks
we're
working
with
are
easily
connected
to
resources
and
opportunities.
N
We've
been
able
to
create
partnerships
with
jiffy
lube,
with
autozone,
with
att
and
more
recently,
myers
and
chang
and
flower
bakery.
These
opportunities
allow
us
to
get
people
entry-level
employment.
Many
of
these
opportunities
have
livable
wage
jobs,
and
some
of
the
things
we're
working
on
is
creating
our
relationships
with
employees
that
will
allow.
N
Opportunities
for
folks
that
have
career
growth
and
not
just
entry-level
opportunities.
More
recently
also,
we
assist
people
with
advocating
and
court
related
issues,
housing
related
issues
or
health
care
related
issues.
More
recently,
we
just
helped
a
young
man
who
was
shot
and
did
not
have
health
care
get
himself
established
with
mass
health
and
also
get
the
health
care
bill
that
he
had,
which
was
roughly
three
thousand
dollars.
We
got
that
bill
back
paid
for
him.
N
Those
are
some
of
the
services
that
we
work
with
the
young
people
with
to
help
change
the
life
trajectory
for
where
they're
at
in
life.
Right
now.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that
table.
Just
curious
from
my
colleagues
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
raise
your
blue
hands.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I'm
going
to
first
go
to
our
sponsors,
counselor
flynn.
You
now
have
the
floor.
C
E
A
Thank
you,
my
colleagues,
by
a
show
of
blue
hands
and
for
those
who
don't
have
the
blue
hand
function.
You
can
always
text
me,
but
I
do.
I
do
have
a
few
questions
and
I'm
not
sure
davo
or
you
or
anybody
else.
Who's
still
here
might
be
able
to
address
this,
but
you
know
I'm
thinking
about
the,
and
this
might
be
a
little
bit
controversial,
but
I
am
known
to
be
such
I'm
just
curious
about
the
the
cannabis
industry
as
an
emerging
market
for
employment
opportunities
for
people
with
quarry.
A
I'm
just
curious
about
what
opportunities
exist
in
that
market
and
what
those
relationships
are
looking
like,
and
if
this
is
not
the
space
for
this
conversation,
then
I
totally
appreciate
that.
But
I
do
hear
that
oftentimes,
those
who
have
been
impacted
by
the
war
on
drugs
are
usually
not
having
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
benefit
from
that.
A
N
So
I
would
highly
suggest
that
that
be
something
that
collectively
we
take
a
look
into
seeing
if
there
are
any
pipelines
that
can
be
built,
it
is
an
emerging
industry
and
I'd
see
it
as
something
that
will
only
get
bigger.
So
I
think
it
would
be
really
smart
to
see
what
could
be
done
to
connect
folks
to
opportunities,
remove
any
barriers
that
currently
exist.
That
would
prevent
a
person
in
regards
to
the
population,
we're
speaking
about
that
will
prevent
them
from
getting
entry-level
employment
opportunities
in
that
field.
A
Yeah,
because
when
I
think
about
that
field,
it's
there's
many
opportunities.
One
is
around
marketing
promotions.
There's
also,
you
know
understanding
the
biology
of
of
of
the
plants.
I
mean
I
just
feel
like
when
it
comes
to
that
particular
job
market.
That
seems
to
be
a
lot
of
barriers,
and
this
just
seems
to
me
like
a
natural
fit
and
I'm
just
curious
why
we
haven't
explored
that,
but
I'm
intrigued
by
that
and
looking
forward
to
exploring
that
a
little
bit
further
dabo.
Yes,.
N
Also,
a
lot
of
good
things
were
mentioned
today
on
the
panel.
I
would
like
to
also
suggest
that
boston
were
really
big
on
eggs
and
meds,
and
could
that
be
something
that
we
look
a
little
bit
deeper
into
entry
level,
employment
opportunities
and
we'll
follow
the
colleges
and
universities
that
we
have
and
all
of
the
healthcare
facilities
that
we
have.
It
seems
like
there
will
be
an
abundance
of
employment
opportunities
that
can
be
tapped
into,
and
what
can
we
do
to
remove
barriers
that
prevent
folks
from
from
accessing
those
employment
opportunities?
N
A
And
I
also
wanted
to
just
say,
and
then
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
the
next
panelist,
but
you
know
back
in
the
day
I
used
to.
I
always
should
be
a
public
health
educator
and
I
used
to
pass
out
condoms
all
around.
I
was
the
condom,
lady
around
my
way,
and
then
I
had
some
some
kids
that
lived
across
the
street
and
I
knew
that
they
would.
You
know
they
were
dealing
and
I
would
give
them
condoms
and
I
would
say,
listen
every
time
you,
you
sew
your
little
dime
bag.
A
Why
don't
you
give
a
little
pretty
peck
of
condoms
and
keep
your
clients
alive?
You
know
at
first
they
were
like.
No,
I
missed
you
crazy,
and
then
I
got
to
the
point
where
they
started
knocking
on
my
door,
asking
me
for
content,
so
they
can
distribute
right.
I
think
that
oftentimes,
we
have
a
hard
time
unders,
looking
at
what
leadership
looks
like
and
also
really
figuring
out.
H
A
Okay,
thank
you,
I'm
going
to
move
on,
so
that's
cute,
so
that
I
should
do
the
same,
because
we
are
having
a
shortage
of
time
here.
I'm
going
to
go
next
to
the
next
panelist
david.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
being
here,
you're
welcome
to
stay
and
enjoy
the
conversation
that
we're
having
today.
So
I'm
going
to
go
next
to
kevin
steebley
he's
the
executive
director
of
the
mayor's
office
of
returning
citizens.
You
now
have
the
floor.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Real
briefly,
the
orc
was
created
to
assist
individuals
as
they
are
released
from
incarceration
in
areas
of
transitional
housing,
education,
health
and
employment.
The
orc
also
brings
organizations
together
to
identify
gaps
and
services
and
other
impediments
that
lead
toward
recidivism.
D
That
being
said,
within
the
last
two
years
we've
been
able
to
put
over
350
individuals
in
workforce
programs
and
in
front
of
hiring
managers.
However,
the
obstacles
due
to
quarries
are
considerable.
People
impacted
by
corey,
find
it
increasingly
difficult
to
obtain
employment
in
housing
due
to
discriminate,
discriminatory
regulations
surround
surrounding
by
having
a
quarry.
Now
there
are
a
couple
of
questions
that
I
I
want
to
kind
of
lead
toward.
D
D
There
are
certain
regulations
that
restrict
people
from
having,
as
the
conversation
just
was
introduced
with
the
cannabis
industry.
If
you
have
a
no
contest
or
dismissal
or
continue
without
a
finding
on
your
record,
it
makes
you
ineligible
for
working
in
those
industries,
not
to
mention
having
an
actual
actionable
item
on
your
quarry.
D
D
So
we
want
to
so,
as
we
look
at
what
are
some
next
steps
that
we
can
do,
we
need
to
really
look
at
these.
The
cmrs
see
how
they
restrict
individuals
from
moving
forward.
We
have
to
begin
to
challenge
this
new
and
emerging
industry,
this
cannabis
industry,
because
of
the
restrictions
that
exist
within
that
industry,
I
can
share
the
I
will.
I
will
forward
and
share
the
documentations
with
you.
We've
been
reviewing
these
things,
because
these
are
clear,
discriminatory
regulations
that
are
being
created
to
identify
a
very
specific
group
within
our
population.
D
The
credit
we
have
seen
a
number
of
issues:
we've
helped
nearly
900
individuals
in
the
last
two
years
that
we've
been
in
in
operation,
and
the
credit
issue
is
something
that
I
I
appreciate
that's
being
addressed
with
council
campbell,
because
some,
the
the
the
talk
is
well,
it's
not
your
corey,
it's
your
credit
now.
If
an
individual
is
being
rejected,
and
we've
seen
this
case
quite
a
few
times
that
they
received
the
letter
that
their
credit
was
considered
in
their
employment
application,
as
opposed
to
their
quarry
background.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much,
I'm
going
to
first
defer
to
the
sponsors
of
this
hearing.
Counselor
flynn,
see
if
you
have
any
questions
or
comments
that
you'd
like
to
add
at
this
time.
You
now
have
the
floor.
C
C
C
D
In
many
cases,
in
many
cases
the
employer
is
following
a
set
of
guidelines
that
they
have,
that
they
put
into
in
in
many
times,
is
an
archaic
law
that
they're
just
following
the
procedure
of
a
full
hire.
D
So
what
we
have
done
is
we've
challenged
those
hiring
managers
to
say
that
person's
charge
has
nothing
to
do
with
what
they'll
be
doing.
If
this
person
was,
you
know,
had
a
charge
of
shoplifting
and
now
they're
working
with
waste
management.
Where
is
it
there?
There's
no
connection,
so
that
quarry
should
have
nothing
to
do
with
this
person's
second
chance
and
opportunity
to
make
an
economic
life
for
himself
and
in
their
family.
C
Yeah
right,
I
I
agree.
I
wonder
if
there's
a
list
of
convictions
that
might
be
you
know
we
might
be
able
to
look
at
that,
are
on
a
quarry
that
you
know
going
forward.
C
They
wouldn't
they
shouldn't,
be
part
of
the
background
check
or
in
or
impact
someone
from
getting
a
job,
especially
low-level
type
crimes,
and
especially
if
they
happened
so
many
years
ago.
What
what
you
know
you
think
of
it?
Why?
Why
would
that
have
an
impact
on
someone's
ability
to
try
to
to
try
to
get
a
job
in
as
a
in
any
type
of
field?
So
maybe
just
something
we
can
continue
working
on
and
thinking
about.
E
Yes,
thank
you.
Man,
kevin
knight,
very
point,
the
piece
about
the
credit
worthiness
and
in
the
need,
I
think,
for
you
know
another
like
the
school
there
is
it's
on
the
financial
literacy
side,
making
sure
that
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
to
kind
of
educate
folks
about
how
that
out
that
place.
E
You
know
again
it's
solid
credit
and
or
kids,
that
you
know
families
sort
of
bank
with
the
traditional
institutions
and
have
no
idea
in
terms
of
the
role
that
that
plays
on
on
that
credit
history,
so
very
important
point
that
kevin
raised.
So
that's
something
else.
E
I
think
we
need
to
look
closely
at
and
making
sure
that
on
the
financial
literacy
side,
that
the
the
organizations
that
are
represented
on
on
this
at
this
hearing,
but
also
out
there
trying
to
help
making
sure
that
that's
sort
of
part
of
their
program
as
well
to
educate,
particularly
the
young
kids,
of
how
important
it
is
and
how
it
does
come
back
and
can
be
a
barrier.
E
So
unless
we're
gonna
be
eliminating
the
entire
credit
portion
of
it,
and
I
think
some
some
degrees
will
have
some
success
in
certain
sectors.
But
not
on
the
highly
regulatory
side
of
the
house,
you
know
financial
institutions,
banking,
securities,
cyber
security,
all
those
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
jobs
out
there
that
that
are
highly
regulated,
that
you
know
that'll
be
an
impediment
to
a
bar
for
employment.
So
we
need
to
address
that
as
well.
So
great
points,
kev
appreciate
the
work
you're
doing.
A
Hands:
okay,
I
do
I'm
gonna
have
a
quick
question
for
you.
I'm
curious
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
there
is
a
a
way
that
you're
tracking,
who
are
the
employers
in
the
city
of
boston
that
are
really
are
doing
a
great
job
at
working
in
partnership
with
the
city,
to
support
your
efforts,
and
I
I'm
also
just
as
curious
to
know,
which
are
the
employers
that
have
not
been
doing
such
a
great
job
with
the
city
and
that
could
use
a
little
bit
of
a
a
push.
If
you
will.
D
Absolutely
well,
I
you
know
we
want
to
work
in
a
positive
nature.
Madam
chair,
there
are
some
organizations
that
that
we
utilize
community
work.
Services
is
a
amazing
program
that
we
that
we
use
and
they
help
to
not
only
identify
where,
where
our
potential
employees
could
use
work,
but
they
they
help
them
bridge
that
that
gap
and
that
knowledge
gap
and
move
them
forward.
D
We
have
a
number
of
employment
agencies
that
we
use,
because
we
know
that
they're
out
there
and
those
employment
agencies
like
express
employment,
massive
staffing,
they
are
wonderful
in
understanding
the
the
the
individuals
that
we
use
in
our
very
own
office
of
workforce
development.
D
They
have
been
outstanding
in
providing
funding
to
help
us
pivot
to
more
resilient
industries
like
the
technologies
to
be
able
to
provide
a
stipend
and
education
in
areas
where
folks
of
color
just
have
not
been
accepted
and
have
not,
and
in
return
haven't,
looked
into
it.
So
those
you
know,
we've
been
working
in
some
areas
and
then
there
are
some
there's
some
agencies
that
it's
it's
not
that
they're
bad.
But
what
has
is
happening
in
the
hr
areas
of
these
companies
is
that
they
do
not
understand
how
to
read
a
quarry.
D
A
That's
right,
thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you
for
that.
I'm
gonna
go
to
in
the
interest
of
time.
I
don't
see
any
other
blue
hands.
I
know
that
we
have
a
two
hour
limit
with
our
public
hearings
and
we're
moving
along
nicely,
so
I'm
gonna
go
next
to
joseph
feaster,
who
is
counsel
with
mckenzie
and
associates.
O
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair,
for
having
me
participate.
I
want
to
thank
particularly
my
good
and
dear
friend,
michael
flaherty,
who
is
the
one
who
requested
that
I
participate.
Madam
chair,
I'm
gonna.
We
are
a
different
hat
because
I'm
bringing
my
role
as
the
chair
of
the
urban
league
to
this
conversation.
O
Also
the
coach
here
of
my
brother's
keeper
to
this
conversation,
but
I'm
going
to
take
a
little
different
tack,
because
I
don't
practice
in
this
area,
and
I
have
so
many
experts
who
do
this
work
and
I
call
it
god's
work.
Yeah.
A
O
I've
had
an
interest
in
this
area
for
many
many
years
and
as
a
lawyer,
I
did
go
back
and
read
to
find
out
exactly
what
the
status
is
with
response
to
corey
reforms.
I'll
just
answer.
I
know
I
see
that
council
president
jamie
is
not
born
right
now,
but
it
was
august
6
2010,
when
governor
patrick
did
some
reform
on
the
legislation
and
then
again
in
2018
when
it
was
done.
But
let
me
just
I'm
gonna
come
at
this
in
terms
of
a
different
way,
because
I've
thought
about
this.
O
Over
the
years
I've
been
an
employer.
I
had.
I
was
administrated
at
the
housing
authority,
town
manager
in
stoughton.
You
know
so
I've
looked
at
it
from
the
standpoint
of
an
employer
as
to
how
you
can
address
this,
and
we
have
certain
rules,
federal
and
otherwise,
with
regards
to
what
we
did
at
the
boston
housing
authority.
O
So
I'm
going
to
come
at
it
from
the
standpoint
of
some
of
the
things
which
I
think
are
important
and
as
a
resident
of
you
know
of
and
having
been
with
the
naacp
and
lived
in
boston,
most
of
my
life,
I
go
back
to
what
rufus
said
part
of
part
of
the
thing
that
we
have
to
do
as
far
as
returning
citizens
is
to
educate
societies.
I
could
never
understand
why
we
would
say
that
one
has
served
their
time
and
treat
them
so
horribly
when
they
come
back
into
the
community.
O
Both
understand
how
people
perceive
them,
but
to
say
you
can't
get
work,
you
can't
get
housing
etc.
So
what
the
heck
do
we
expect
them
to
go
back
and
do.
Why
are
we
being
concerned
about
recidivism,
so
I
used
to
have
this
this
debate
consistently
from
a
policy
standpoint.
It
just
made
no
real
sense
to
me
so
what
roof
has
said?
I
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with.
As
far
as
educating
there
now
hey,
we
can
talk
about
all
of
that.
All
we
want
in
terms
of
what
people
are
going
to
believe
and
perceive
what
they
wish.
O
So
therefore,
just
like
I
did
when
I
had
children,
I
don't
believe
in
in
this
thing
of
time
out.
I
I
won't
be
specific
about
what
my
timeout
was
with
regards
to
my
children,
who
my
daughter's
40
something
now,
but
she
would
be
able
to
tell
you
she
loves
her
daddy,
but
nonetheless,
the
issue
is
I
from
an
employer's
standpoint.
O
I've
said
this
and
no
one
seems
to
listen
to
me
over
the
years
we
have
to
deal
with
immunity
from
prosecution,
because,
yes,
there
are
going
to
be
some
persons
who
are
going
to
do
things
just
as
any
person
in
an
employment
situation
not
focusing
strictly
upon
a
person
with
a
corey.
But
can
you
imagine
if,
in
our
litigation
society
a
person
with
a
corey
gets
hired?
Does
something
at
a
job
hurt?
Someone
does
something
such
as
that
that
employer
and
everybody
else
is
sue.
O
So
I've
always
said:
if
you're
going
to
tell
me
to
take
the
risk,
then
you
have
to
give
me
some
leverage.
Now
we
have,
we
have
in
terms
you
can't
certain
amounts,
so
you
can't
sue
the
commonwealth
over
things
of
that
nature,
so
I'm
I'm
putting
on
the
table
immunity
from
prosecution.
O
The
other
thing
is
in
terms
of
training,
as
I
began
to
look
at
and
review
what
the
corey
requirements
are
and
kevin
pointed
out
clearly,
and
I
believe
that
the
first
speaker
did
as
miranda
pointed
out,
people
don't
understand
exactly
what
their
rights
are
under
in
getting
things
sealed.
Getting
things
expunged,
what
things
employers
can
ask
counselor
flynn
has
asked
multiple
times
as
to
well.
Why
people
do
things
after
well?
The
rules
now
say
you
can't
ask
them
at
the
initial
interview.
O
You
have
to
do
it
at
a
particular
point
in
time.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
rule
pieces
and
maybe
davo
does
it.
Maybe
miranda
does
it.
Maybe
there's
other
organizations
here
that
do
that,
but
is
the
education
not
only
for
the
individual
who
is
a
returning
citizen,
but
also
for
employers
as
to
what
they
are.
So
I
have
the
education.
O
Now
it's
interesting
that
this
that
I
was
invited
to
this
hearing,
because
I
reached
out
last
year
to
sheriff
tompkins
because
programmatically
we
have
training
programs
at
the
urban
league
of
eastern
massachusetts
which
anyone
can
participate
in,
but
I
didn't
have
a
program
and
I
felt
consistent
what
I
just
stated
about
my
own
feelings
and
beliefs
that
our
returning
senate
citizens
were
not
being
provided
the
opportunity
and
those
of
us
who
were
in
housing.
I
know
councillor
bach
is
came
from
a
housing
housing
arena
as
well.
O
We
know
that
the
the
situation
is
that
when
one
comes
to
speak
to
a
landlord
is
a
landlord
gonna
take
a
risk.
If
there's
a
possibility
that,
if
something
happens,
one's
gonna
say
well,
you
knew
that
the
person
had
a
record.
Why?
Why
did
you
have
it?
So
we
have
to
think
about
immunities
in
those
particular
areas
as
well.
For
russ
said
urban
league.
We
would
like
to
be
set
up
some
type
of
training
program
directly.
O
So
that's
where
I
will
stop,
but
I
look
at
it
from
the
standpoint
madame
tier
that
you
know,
but
for
providing
some
type
of
immunity,
most
employers,
most
landlords
are
not
going
to
take
the
risk.
A
Thank
you
for
that.
I
really
do
appreciate
your
honesty
and
because
it
really
helps
us
understand
what
are
the
barriers
coming
from
all
sides,
so
I'm
gonna
ask
counselor
flynn
if
you
have
any
questions
or
comments.
That
would
be
a
great
time
and
then
I'm
gonna
move
on
to
counselor
flaherty
and
ask
my
colleagues
and
then
I
do
have
some
questions.
C
C
You
know-
maybe
maybe
me
what
about
with
these
great
companies
coming
into
boston,
they're,
coming
into
the
south,
boston,
waterfront,
they're,
coming
into
the
downtown
area
and
the
prudential
area.
You
know
what
about
during
the
development
process
is
asking
asking
them
to
take.
It.
C
Take
a
look
at
hiring
people
with
quarries,
whether
it's
during
the
construction
phase
and
or
hiring
people
with
quarries
in
the
in
the
actual
company,
giving
them
an
opportunity
to
start
at
the
ground
level
at
the
very
beginning
and
maybe
considering
giving
them
some
type
of
incentive,
whether
it's
a
whether
it's
a
tax
incentive
and
what
what
you
would
have
is
you'd
have
a
strong
company
hiring
people
from
the
community.
But
you
would
also
have
a
strong
neighborhood
in
in
the
many
neighborhoods
of
boston.
C
Maybe
it's
south
boston,
maybe
it's
dochester,
maybe
it's
roxbury,
but
that
returning
citizen
has
the
dignity
of
a
job.
He
goes
back
to
south
boston
or
she
goes
back
to
dochester,
roxbury
east
boston,
with
a
job
with
with
some
dignity,
they're,
paying
bills
that
they're
paying
taxes
and
they're
contributing.
C
O
Counselor,
certainly
that's
an
admirable,
and-
and
I
also
there
was
a
I
can't
remember
specifically,
but
there
was
a
governmental
program
that
provided
incentives
along
that
line
not
dealing
with
returning
citizens,
but
in
other
areas-
and
I
just
can't
recall
specifically-
I
mean
that's
a
possibility.
You
know
I
think
we
have
to
as
kevin
sibley
pointed
out.
We
have
to
try
everything
in
that
now
granted.
You
know
what
I
was
saying
earlier,
joking
seriously
about
I'm
into
you
know.
O
Sometimes
you
have
to
have
requirements
that
people
need
to
follow.
So
therefore,
if
say,
for
instance,
you
had
in
zoning-
and
you
said
fine-
you
part
of
what
you
have
to
do-
you
have
to
hire
persons
who
who
have
previously
been
incarcerated.
Well,
you
have
to
see
if
that
will
work.
If
you
talk
about
it
in
terms
of
incentives,
you
have
to
try
that
see.
If
see.
O
If
that
works,
the
presumptions
are
that
at
least
for
the
black
and
brown
communities
that
the
racism
won't
won't
step
into
the
way
of
of
that
in
terms
of
because
for
some,
what
will
the
incentive
be
for
them
in
order
to
do
that
is.
Is
the
incentive
large
enough,
so
I
would
say
to
you
that's
worth
to
try.
I
wouldn't
I
mean
all
of
these
things.
O
A
A
A
No
no
hold
on
one
quick,
second
console
clarity,
because
I
know
I
have
internet
issues,
so
I
don't
know
if
me
or
you,
but
there's
something
happening
with
the
way
you
sound
and
if
can
folks
shake
their
heads.
Are
they
hearing
the
same
thing
that
I'm
hearing?
Okay?
The
problem
is,
on
your
end,
console
clarity.
You
sound
like
you're
underwater,
so
I
need
you
to
move
your
computer
too,
closer
to
the
router
or
something
so
that
we
can
be
engaged
in
the
dialogue.
A
E
Very
good.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Good
morning,
joe
joe,
I
said
joe
absolutely
nailed
it
on
the
community
piece
spoken,
obviously,
and
then-
and
I
think
it's
important
to
have
lawyers
in
in
the
discussion
because
they
see
the
real
life
implications.
Indoor
scenarios
that
pop
up-
and
that
was
one
of
the
issues
that
we
dealt
with
when
we
brought
folks
down
to
meet
the
the
employers
down
at
the
ray
flynn
marine
industrial
park-
and
that
was
one
of
their
main
concerns
that
they
were
willing
to
to
sort
of
take
the
shot.
E
Take
the
risk
to
give
folks
a
fair
shake,
but
they
didn't
want
it
to
kind
of
come
back
and
bite
them
and
their
concerns
was
exactly
as
she
described
joe
the
slip
and
fall
in
aisle
four
and
they
see
dart
summer
off,
and
then
they
schedule
the
fall
mri.
And
then
they
see
the
specialists
in
the
winter
and
the
meat
is
running
the
entire
time
sort
of
on
a
workers
comp
claim,
and
then
they
see
their
workers.
Comp
rates
go
up
so
having
some
built-in
immunity
on
that
is
critical.
E
You
know-
maybe
it's
a
three
month
or
a
six
month
or
a
nine
month
or
maybe
a
year,
but
that
was
probably
the
biggest
impediment
for
some
of
our
larger
employers
that
you
know
with
the
warehousing
freight
forwarding
the
seafood
processing,
the
cold
storage,
like
a
lot
of
really
good
companies,
great
jobs
by
the
way,
good
wages,
good
benefits,
but
that
was
their
real
concern
was
that
you
know
they
get
they
get
they
get
they
take
in
an
individual,
and
then
you
know
two
three
four
days
or
a
week
later,
they're
dealing
with
a
lawsuit.
E
So
so
you
nailed
it
on
that
one
and
trying
to
find
a
way
around
that
I
think,
is
critical
for
some
of
boston's
largest
employers
to
to
be
able
to
participate
here
and
to
partner
with
us
they're
going
to
need
some
type
of
some
backup.
You
know
at
least
for
a
short
period
of
time.
Again,
I
don't
think
it
needs
to
be
open-ended,
but
incentivize
a
little
bit
at
the
same
time.
Have
them
willing
to
take
the
show.
E
I
take
that
risk
and
then-
and
we
work
with
them
on
that
so
and
joe
while
ahead,
you
just
going
to
touch
base,
maybe
a
little
bit
on
my
brother's
keeper
and
quick
update
on
that
and
how
we
could
how
we
can
continue
to
partner
on
that.
O
Thirdly,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
very
much
counselor.
I
wanted
to
just
amplify
just
a
bit
on
what
I
was
referring
to
for
the
immunity.
That's
one
area.
I
want
to
give
the
example.
O
You
know
I
don't
do
much
litigation,
but
I
know
there
is
much
healthier,
I'm
thinking
of
the
situation
that
occurs,
the
employee-
that's
that's!
That's
returning
citizens
at
the
employer
gets
in
a
fight
into
somebody,
both
people.
You
know
both
people
get
terminated
because
that's
the
company's
policy,
the
person
who's
injured,
sues
the
company
because
of
the
circ
situation
that
occurred.
That's
the
type
of
immunity
that
I'm
talking
about
if
something
is
happening
not
from
the
employee
using
some
of
the
rules
of
the
of
the
employer,
I'm
talking
about
the
circumstances.
O
If
something
happens
to
an
external
person-
and
I
don't
want
to
give
all
vivid
examples
of
what
I'm
referring
to.
But
there
are
situations
where
I
can
see.
Clayton's
attorney
says
well,
mr
employer,
didn't
you
know
that
so-and-so
returning
citizen
had
a
record
and
here's
their
record
and
they
had
this.
They
had
this.
They
had
this.
They
had
this.
What
that
looks
like
in
a
trial
proceeding,
so
that's
the
part,
that's
the
type
of
immunity
I'm
talking
about.
With
regards
to
my
brother's
keeper,
we
we
have
a
new
executive
director.
O
O
So
we
like
several
of
the
organizations
we're
trying
to
work
with
the
young
people
around
that
we
have
our
our
association
would
be
a
man
with
a
bam,
so
we're
still
moving
forward
still
trying
to
strengthen
that
particular
organization
and
now
there's
some
discussions
that
we
want
to
have
as
far
as
some
type
of
mentoring
program
that
will
take
place
with
umass
boston.
So
we
continue
to
grow.
But
you
know
it's
a
matter
of
trying.
The
city's
commitment
is
still
there.
We
still
have
our
board
for
the
mbk,
so
we're
moving
along.
A
A
A
So
I
think
that
there
is
an
opportunity,
if
I'm
sure
that
that
already
exists,
but
that
when
our
returning
citizens
are
back
and
before
they
enter
the
workforce,
the
employer
will
go
through
here,
all
the
things
you
should
and
shouldn't
do,
and
you
need
to
sign
this
contract
that
you
know
that
you
have
read
fully
and
understand
what
the
expectation
is
and
how
you're
going
to
show
up
that
everybody.
A
Does
it
not
just
our
returning
citizens
but
everybody
so
that
there's
a
level
of
accountability
there
and
I'm
just
curious
to
do
you
know
joe's
if
that
happens,.
O
I
can't
speak
to
that
counselor
here,
but
I
that's
along
the
lines
of
what
I
would
see
an
an
organization
like
an
urban
league
would
do
it.
It's
always
like
to
dress
for
success.
O
Type
of
program
which
be
because
I
think
that
yes,
we
do
make
to
presumptions
and
depending
upon
if
a
person
has
been
out
of
work
with
a
say,
seven
years
or
more,
has
been
incarcerated
for
a
period
of
time
and
et
cetera.
We
we
need
to
address
that
somewhere.
I
it
sounds
like
to
me.
Some
of
the
programs
have
either
where
davio
is
or
either
where
kevin
is.
O
They
do
some
of
that
in
terms
of
talking
speaking
with
these
individuals,
but
that's
what
my
thing
is
we,
if
you're
going
to
break
down
the
barriers,
you
want
to
present
the
potential
employee
with
the
best
thing.
So
if
you
deal,
if
you
remove
the
credit
concerns
and
address
that,
if
you
deal
with
my
questions
of
well,
I
want
to
be
immune
from
prosecution
on
things.
O
If
we
can
move
some
of
those
barriers
out,
then
we're
going
to
get
to
the
real
issue
as
to
why
people
are
saying
no,
and
we
know
that
some
of
those
issues
are
going
to
still
exist,
but
but
if
we
can,
if
we
can
do
all
of
these
things,
so
I
think
the
training
program
that
you're
talking
about
the
incentive
program
that
council
flynn
was
talking
about
if
you're
the
immunity
from
prosecution
piece
that
I'm
proposing
here
now.
A
Thank
you,
thank
you
and
then,
in
terms
of
just
you
know
the
immunity
situation,
I'm
also
curious
about.
You
know
we
wouldn't
even
be
having
this
conversation
and
some
of
the
crimes
that
some
of
the
young
people
have
committed
were
not
classified
as
a
crime
right
like
there's
certain
like
this
is
just
some
things
that
kids
do,
whether
it
be
a
fight
or
you
know,
just
go
through
anger
management
and
that's
it
but
oftentimes.
A
They
end
up
getting
locked
up
for
things
that
I
think
oftentimes
is
just
criminalizing
poverty
in
many
ways,
and
so
I
just
feel
like
there's
some
work
that
needs
to
happen
even
beforehand
that
are
more
preventative
right,
so
that
we
wouldn't
be
having
this
conversation.
And
if
we
had
more
opportunities
and
job
employment
opportunities
for
young
people,
then
they
wouldn't
be
running
the
streets
too
right.
A
A
If
we
had
different
systems
and
structures
in
place
to
to
begin
with,
so
I
think
the
work
that
the
urban
league
does
my
brother's
keeper
and
all
these
programs
that
we
have
here
in
the
city
of
boston
need
to
be
fully
supported
and
funded,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
move
more
on
a
on
a
prevention
model
and
intervention
so
that
we're
not
feeling
these
effects.
O
Thank
you
for
that.
I
certainly
my
colleague
tren
who
was
with
us
at
the
urban
league
for
sure
and
did
a
lot
of
the
things
to
try
to
help
us
on
our
financing,
but
I
also
want
to
point
out
madam
chair.
There
is
some
effort
on
the
part
of
within
the
corey
law.
Like
I
said,
I
did
some
homework
this
morning
where
they
tried
to
look
at
mitigating
some
of
this.
O
So
certain
types
of
crimes,
certain
terps
of
juvenile
records,
certain
types-
if
something
is
found
not
to
have
been
if
the
lord
changes
and
is
no
longer
criminalized
like
we're
doing
with
marijuana,
there
are
certain
things
in
that
regard.
One
can
go
in
administratively
or
before
judge
and
do
it.
I
don't
want
to
presume
to
be
the
expert.
This
is
just
my
quick
fast
reading
this
morning
of
the
cory
laws.
So
we
are
so
so
they
are
trying
to
address
it.
O
But
yes,
if
we
can
get
into
the
preventative
mode
and
there's
a
myriad
of
organizations
that
are
trying
to
do
it
from
our
wives
to
our
boys
and
girls,
clubs
we're
all
trying
to
address
that
as
many
organizations
in
your
district
that
are
doing
these
things.
O
So,
yes,
we
have
a
role
to
play
there
for
sure,
but
I
think
that
when
we
start
talking
about
where
we
are
now
as
far
as
the
a
a
process
that
can
prevent
one
from
making
a
positive
change
in
their
life,
then
what
you
have
this
hearing
here
today,
what
you're?
Having
is
so
important
to
talk
about
what
ways
we
can
help
the
kevins
of
the
worlds,
the
the
mirandas
of
the
worlds,
the
jeffersons
of
the
world,
who
are
in
this
space
to
be
able
to
help
these
young
people?
O
That's
what
we
need
to
begin
to
look
at,
and
I
and
I
can't
underscore
enough
if
we
can
get
some
employees
in
the
room
and
get
to
a
council
of
flynn's
incentive
idea,
immunity
from
prosecution.
I
can
tell
you
as
an
employer.
Now
again,
I
don't
remember
all
the
rules
at
the
housing
authority,
but
I
think
that
we
would
have
had
restrictions.
We
average
restrictions,
as
we
know
in
terms
of
people
with
criminal
records,
can't
even
live
in
our
public
housing.
O
So
so
we
have
restriction
there.
So
if
you
have
it
there,
then
we
have
our
affordable
housing
programs.
So
we
already
know
that
wealth
is
built
by
several
different
ways.
You
know
and
and
if
one
can't
get
housing,
if
one
can't
get
a
job,
you
know,
then
what
are
they
going
to
turn
to
so
yeah?
We
have
to
look
at
and
I
think
kevin
raises.
We
have
to
look
at
some
of
the
barriers
there
that
are
there.
You
asked
about
the
cannabis
industry.
I
was
going
to
comment
on
that.
O
Only
from
the
standpoint,
I
think,
if
you
go
to
the
cannabis
control
commission,
that
would
be
prohibitive
that
one
has
a
core.
He
probably
would
not
be
now.
I
don't
know
if
that's
for
sure,
but
that's
where
we'd
have
to
check
at
the
rules
for
the
for
the
cannabis
control
commission,
because
I
know
for
the
owners
of
that.
That
certainly
is,
would
be
an
impediment,
so
I
don't
know
what
it
would
be
with
regards
to
employees,
but
that's
something
to
take
a
look
at
yeah.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
appreciate
you
being
here
and
your
patience.
I
know
you
were
almost
second
to
last,
and
so
thank
you
for
for
staying
here
so
long
and
I
look
forward
to
working
in
partnership
with
you
and
I've
learned
a
lot
in
this
short
period
of
time.
Thank
you
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
so
we're
saving
the
best
for
last.
A
You
are
not.
You
are
with
the
mayor's
office
of
workforce
development,
and
you
know
that,
but
just
for
the
record
we'd
like
to
invite
you
to
to
speak,
and
you
not.
P
Have
the
floor.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
counselor.
Majia
I'd
love
to
be
last
because
then
I
get
to
hear
everything
and
say
everything's
all
set.
My
name
is
trenwyn,
I'm
the
director
of
the
mayor's
office
of
workforce
development
and
we
always
like
to
say
that
we
we
love
to
lead
from
behind.
So
a
lot
of
leaders
that
you've
you've
heard
from
we've
loved
to
just
make
sure
that
things
get
executed
from
behind
the
curtain.
So
that's
our
what
our
role
and
what?
P
What
our
calling
is
and
we're
happy
to
do
that.
We
all
know
that
this
is
this,
there's
a
host
of
different
issues,
and
particularly
now
you
know
back
in
february,
our
labor
market
was
very
prosperous.
We
had
an
unemployment
rate
of
2.3
percent
in
boston
and
today
we're
at
18.9
percent,
which
you
can
imagine
how
hard
it
is,
and
we
know
that
this
number
is
much
higher
in
communities
of
color
and
for
those
who
are
looking
at
or
focusing
on
employment
and
resources
for
those
with
corey.
P
P
So
there
are
a
few
things
quickly.
Currently
this
year,
we
we
provided
all
renewal
funding.
We
staved
off
all
the
cuts,
and
we've
made
financial
commitment
up
to
13
million,
to
standing
partners
who
prioritize
serving
low
to
moderate
income
residents
in
boston
and
those
who
are
prioritizing
groups
for
funding
with
residents
with
corey.
P
So
that
has
been
a
priority
in
our
grant,
making
a
policy
from
day
one
and
now
it
has
been
more
in
the
front
lines
than
ever,
and
a
specific
example
is
that
our
neighborhood
jobs,
trust,
which
is
one
of
the
most
flexible
funds.
It
is
still
a
performance
based
contract
or
grant,
but
we
have
really
prioritized
and
make
sure
that
our
partners
are
serving
residents
with
corey.
P
There
are
other
several
programs
that
were
mentioned
here,
that
we
fund
and
support
over
the
years
we
we
do
have
a
new
england
center
for
homeless
veterans
as
our
strong
partners,
morgan
memorial
goodwill,
new
england
center
for
community
servings,
best
hospitality,
new
england,
culinary
arts,
broca
boston,
who
you
heard
from,
and
casamirna
vesquet
and
college
bound
dorchester
are
all
partners
in
which
we
support.
P
As
you
know,
our
youth
options
unlimited
here
in
located
right
in
nubian
square,
where
we
separate
we,
we
fund
them
from
our
general
operating
funds,
and
we
we
put
more
funds
into
that
program
for
young
people
16
to
24,
who
have
have
have
been
involved
in
the
criminal
justice
system
as
well,
and
just
through
the
second
quarter.
Ryru
have
served
247
young
people
and
147
continued
on
job
placements
and
including
60
placed
in
private
employer
partners
as
well,
and
this
summer
we've
served
within
just
our
yo.
P
You
program,
106
young
people,
into
employment
and
career
readiness,
as
well.
All
of
our
young
people
in
our
youth
options,
unlimited
program
are
covered
under
the
tuition-free
community
college
program
if
they
are
interested
in
that
post
secondary
ed
track.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
removing
those
barriers
as
much
as
possible.
And
finally,
more
recently,
you've
heard
a
project.
Opportunity
came
up
by
dr
falk
several
times,
and
I
just
want
to
add
some
of
the
details
to
that
that
it
was
a
response.
P
We
have
virtual
quarry
ceiling,
expungement
clinics.
We
have
community
dialogues
with
partners
to
know
that
this
is
very
important.
We
have
jobs
and
resource
fares
as
well,
and
all
the
fees
around
expunge
expungement
if
they
haven't
been
waived
owd
our
office
covers
that
and
waives
all
the
fees
for
the
clients
as
well
and
since
the
launch
in
just
five
weeks
as
dr
falk
mentioned,
we
served
over
300
residents
and
175
residents
on
expungement
and
ceiling.
P
87.8
were
focused
on
ceiling
and
26.8
were
on
expungement.
We
know
there
is
a
huge
need
around
this
clinic,
because
people
have
questions
around
whether
or
not
their
quarries
could
be
sealed
or
expunged,
particularly
around
this
2018
criminal
reform
bill.
I
think
the
bills
and
policies
are
great,
but
we
don't.
We
need
to
really
focus
on
executing
them
rolling
up
our
sleeves
and
taking
actions
and
deconstructing
some
of
this.
So
we
can
really
reduce
the
barriers
and
getting
these
records.
P
Sealed
is
one
major
area
in
which
we
can
focus
on
other
than
that,
I'm
happy
to
answer
additional
questions.
What
we
do
is
not
a
panacea
for
everything
by
all
means.
We
we
should
do
a
lot
more.
When
we
were
looking
at
this
quarry
ceiling
and
expungement,
we
were
looking
at
colorado
denver.
P
We
were
looking
at
san
francisco,
we
were
looking
at
some
southern
states
and
some
of
them
are,
I
have
to
say,
they're
much
more
forward
than
us,
and
so
we
have
a
lot
to
catch
up
and
we
have
to
a
lot
to
learn
and
we
we're
focused
on
it
and
there's
so
much
more
that
we
we
can
do
and
you've
you've
heard.
My
colleagues
and
you
know
that
our
office
is
on
it
happy
to
answer
questions.
Thank
you
for
all
your
support,
and
this
hearing
is
very
important.
There
should
should
be
many
more.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
know
I'm
curious
if
all
your
administration
colleagues
feel
that
way
about
all
the
hearings
that
we
host,
but
this
is
really
important,
and
I
appreciate
you
all
being
here
and
understanding
that
these
conversations
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
tuning
in
and
for
the
first
time
are
hearing
about.
You
know
what
the
work
that
is
happening
from
the
city
and
I
think
that
zoom
and
and
covet
has
really
created
an
opportunity
for
real
civic
engagement.
A
So
it's
such
a
great
opportunity
for
people
to
listen
and
learn
and
and
understand
the
barriers
that
we
face
and
the
work
that
needs
to
happen
to
move
our
people
forward.
So
really
do
appreciate
you
all
being
here,
I'm
going
to
go
to
counselor
flynn
and
then
council
flaherty,
and
I'm
going
to
ask
my
colleagues
by
show
of
blue
hands.
If
you
have
any
questions
so
council
flynn,
you
now
have
the
floor.
C
Thank
you
councilman
here
and
thank
you
to
tren
and
her
team
for
the
outstanding
work
that
you
do
for
the
residents
of
boston.
You
play
an
important
role
and
I
always
enjoy
working
with
you
and
with
your
dedicated
team
and
helping
helping
people.
What
what
I
like
most
about
this
job,
even
during
this
pandemic,
is
on
the
weekends
on
saturdays
and
sundays,
is
talking
to
city
employees
in
various
departments
that
I
see
in
the
neighborhood
and
throughout
the
neighborhoods
in
my
district,
some
of
them
have
quarries
and
some
of
them
don't.
C
But,
but
I
always
strike
up
a
conversation.
I
always
thank
them
for
what
they're
doing
and
sometimes
their
past
comes
up,
and
we
we
have
a
conversation
about
it.
But
but
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
say
is
that
you
know
the
city
of
boston
has
always
been
a
place
where
we
don't
look
down
on
people
that
have
struggled
in
the
past
and
instead
of
walking
by
them.
C
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
trent
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
those
people
that
had
corey's
that
are
dedicated
city
employees
now
and
they
help
keep
our
city
moving
forward
even
during
this
difficult
time,
they're
on
the
front
lines
of
our
streets,
they're
sweeping
they're,
sweeping
the
streets
they're
under
the
sewers,
they're
they're,
providing
so
much
needed
work
that
we
desperately
need
in
our
city
and,
if
we're
just
so
fortunate,
to
have
a
dedicated
city
workforce
that
cares
about
the
residents
and
and
many
of
them
have
and
many
of
them
have
quarries.
C
So
that's
what
I
that's
what
I
think
about
when
I
think
about
corey
reform:
that's
that's
your
brother
or
your
sister
or
your
or
your
cousin,
so
everyone
deserves
a
fear,
a
fair
opportunity.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
trent.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
thank
you
to
kevin
and
to
and
to
the
others
that
are
here,
rufus
and
and
to
into
mayor
walsh,
for
giving
our
city
employees
a
second
an
opportunity
or
a
third
opportunity
to
get
back
in
a
society.
Thank
you.
Trent.
A
Thank
you,
counselor
flynn.
Thank
you
for
that.
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
counselor
flaherty.
I
don't
see
you
here,
not
sure.
If
you
drowned
it
or
something
happened
to
you.
A
Listen
public
hearings
are
I
you
know
I'm
trying
to
keep
these
things
lively
here,
but
you
know
I'm
so
flattered.
I
don't
see
you
so
I'm
going
to
move
on
why
we
went
to
castle.
A
You
better
bring
me
a
hot
dog
or
a
burger,
so
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
my
colleagues.
If
you
all
by
show
of
blue
hands,
we
have
reached
the
end
of
our
panelist
and
now
counselor
campbell,
I'm
going
to
give
you
the
floor.
H
Thank
you
and
thank
you
all
the
panelists
for
the
work.
You
guys
do
every
single
day
really
appreciate
you
and
hope
you
and
your
families
are
staying
safe
and
healthy,
and
I've
been
listening
intently
because
I
mean
obviously
I
care
deeply
about
this
issue,
not
just
for
personal
reasons
have
having
had
family
members
and
currently
who
are
incarcerated,
but
also
the
district
I
represent.
Largely
dorchester.
Mattapan
are
the
folks
that
are
very
much
dealing
with
the
cory
issue
and
high
numbers
of
unemployment.
H
Even
before
colbit,
and
now,
of
course,
as
tren
was
talking
about
post
covert,
it's
just
it's
awful,
and
so
I
do
think,
there's
there's
we
have
to
be
really
creative.
I
think
joe
joe
got
to
this
and
counselor
flynn,
but
I
think
you
know
for
me
it's
it's
also
removing
stigma
and
thinking
about
what
type
of
campaign
could
we
run
as
a
city
as
a
collective
of
electeds
and
advocates
to
remove
the
stigma.
I
think
councilor
flynn
spoke
to
this
a
little
bit.
Many
of
our
employees
have
made
mistakes.
H
All
of
us
have
made
mistakes.
We
just
probably
haven't
gotten
arrested
right,
and
so
how
do
we
run
something
that
I
think
that's
sort
of
low-hanging
fruit
that
could
remove
the
stigma
for
folks
who
have
a
quarry
and
that
folks
see
the
value
in
these
individuals
and
human
beings
and
then
the
second?
I
guess
it's
more
of
a
question,
or
maybe
it's
a
comment.
H
You
know
tren
we've
obviously
done
some
work
together,
along
with
many
advocates
with
the
gaming
industry
right
and
held
this
incredible
event
where
folks
did
not
know
all
of
the
jobs
that
were
available
to
them
in
the
gaming
industry.
Even
if
you
had
a
corey,
they
said.
H
Yes,
we
want
you
so
there's
a
lot
of
industries
out
there
that
are
already
quarry
friendly,
and
I
don't
think
that
we've
maximized
the
opportunity
there
to
pull
those
folks
in
who
don't
need
any
incentives
who
are
already
get
it
and
who
need
folks
who
need
a
workforce,
and
so
we
were
able
to
do
some
creative
things
before
covert.
I
think
now.
Obviously,
we
have
to
get
really
creative,
but
I
guess
the
question
is
what
industries
or
employers
post
covid
without
any
incentive
who
are
cor
already
corey
friendly?
H
Could
we
as
a
collective,
be
connecting
with
and
pushing
for
those
industries
to
show
up
here,
and
I
would
love
to
be
a
part
of
continue
to
be
a
part
of
that,
and
I
guess
that's
my
only
question,
of
course
thanking
the
advocates
and
the
folks
on
the
ground
who
are
doing
the
technical
assistance
to
many
of
these
individuals.
H
You
know
resumes
interviews
the
skill
sets.
All
of
that
is
critically
important.
Your
driver's
license
having
your
materials
ready.
All
that's
also
important,
too,
and
so
of
course,
I
think
we
can
always
resource
whether
it's
the
office
of
returning
citizens
with
more
resources
or
organizations
on
the
ground
that
are
doing
this
work,
I
think,
is
critically
important
and
also
something
we
can
do
as
a
city.
D
Councillor
campbell
to
answer
some
of
the
questions
about
who
has
been
with
us,
amazon
has
been
a
great
partner
in
working
with
us,
as
we've
pivoted
in
in
this
quarry
industry
as
well
as
we
have
warehousing
partners
that
have
been
helpful
with
us
and
also
the
supermarkets
have
been
greatly
helpful
in
hiring
individuals
who
we
had
in
the
restaurant
mark
in
the
restaurant
and
hospitality
we've
been
able
to
pivot
them
in
more
more
covered
resilient
areas.
So
those
are
some
of
the
partners
to
answer
that
question.
H
No
that's
helpful
kevin
and,
of
course
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
every
day,
but
see
that
that
would
be
really
helpful
is
how
do
we
as
a
collective,
want
all
know
who
those
employers
are
and
then
expand
that
list
and
really
go
in
to
to?
Let
folks
know
that
there
are
folks,
even
in
the
midst
of
covert
19,
who
are
hiring
in
hiring
folks
with
covet,
and
I
see
your
hand
trained.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
P
I
agree
with
my
colleague
kevin
and
I
think
that's
a
great
question
counselor.
I
actually
don't
think
that
everybody
understand
what
a
quarry
is.
I
I
think
that
people
have
this
huge
stigma
and
puts
a
blank
assumption
and
judgment
on
a
quarry,
and
if
you
really
look
at
it,
quarries
are
a
little
more
complicated.
They
have
different
levels.
There's
some
of
some
of
them
are
lower
and,
and
they
are
subject
to
compliance
and
other
industries
that
and
others
are
not.
P
So
I
I
think
one
we
have
to
really
have
inform
the
public,
the
community
employers
about
those
breakdowns.
The
second
piece
is
that
when
you're
looking
at
an
industry,
people
always
think
of
it
as
again
a
blanket
approach.
Let's
look
at
the
healthcare
industry
in
boston,
we
did
this.
We
we
said
it
is
a
growth
area.
There
are
lots
of
jobs
here
this
is
pre-coveted
and
then
everybody
when
we
we
looked
and
talked
to
healthcare
employers.
Everybody
said
we
can't
take
people
with
cory's
and
these
hiring
managers.
P
So,
on
the
one
hand,
residents
with
corey
think
that
oh
it's
a
blanket,
I
it's
a
stigma
and
that's
why
we
have
the
corey
clinics
is
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you're
linked
to
a
legal,
professional
and
say.
Let
me
look
at
your
record
and
explain
to
them
what
it
means
and
then,
on
the
other
side,
which
is
the
workforce
and
labor
side,
we
also
have
to
work
with
employers,
hiring
managers
and
even
city
agencies.
P
We
will
be
launching
this
fall
with
the
office
of
returning
citizens
and
dr
falk's
group
we're
hosting
info
sessions
on
quarry
to
city
agencies,
because
even
my
colleagues,
even
I
myself,
don't
understand
its
complexity,
and
so
I
I
think
we
need
to
break
that
down
a
little
bit
more
and
start
putting
in
intentional
efforts
and
thought
process
that
needs
to
to
fully
understand
and
break
down
these
barriers.
H
A
H
No,
that's
really
hey
it's
great,
let
her
let
her
be.
I
had
a
three-year-old
that
was
going
crazy
this
morning,
so
I
understand,
but
no
that's
really
helpful
because
I
think
you
know
I'm
always
thinking
about.
There
are
clearly
ways
in
which
we
need
the
federal
government
to
show
up
the
state
to
show
up,
but
then
there
are
ways
in
which
we
can
throw
power
and
control
show
up
on
this
issue,
so
whether
it's
a
campaign
on
the
one
side
reaching
those
folks
to
say
if
you
have
a
quarry.
H
No,
that
is
not
the
end
of
your
life.
We
got
you
right
and
then
the
other
is
employers.
Who
are
you-
and
we
already
know
that
we're
blessed
in
the
city
of
boston,
to
have
employers
who
want
to
employ
anyone
who
lives
here?
Well,
how
do
we
work
with
you
as
a
collective
to
make
sure
you're
informed
as
to
what
a
quarry
really
is?
H
What
a
consumer
report
is
all
of
that
to
break
down
those
barriers,
so
we
can
maximize
the
opportunity
with
respect
to
folks
who
need
these
jobs,
and
my
last
question
is-
and
maybe
I
missed
this-
I
I
don't
think
so
is:
do
we
have
a
sense
of
the
numbers
in
terms
of
the
residents
in
the
city
of
boston
who
may
have
quarries
or
not
just
just
curious.
P
Okay,
if
I
may
answer
that
question,
thank
you
campbell.
I
think
that's
a
really
important
question.
We
looked
at
that
and
we're
trying
to
get
data
from
the
state
about
those
who
have
what's
the
number
of
quarries
in
suffolk
county
and
then
also
break
it
down
to
levels
of
quarry
level
of
crop
level
of
seriousness
of
that
those
quarries
within
suffolk
county
and
so
we're
still
getting
that
trying
to
get
that
data
from
the
the
state,
but
that
that's
something
that
that
we
need.
A
So
I'm
going
to
in
the
interest
of
just
making
sure
that
we
wrap
up
on
time
we're
a
little
bit
a
few
minutes
behind
council
campbell,
I'm
I'm
going
to
just
you
know.
I'm
all
set.
H
A
Chips,
so
I
I
do
I
you
know
davo,
I'm
so
glad
to
see
you
back
here
on
the
screen
here
and
especially
in
the
work
that
you're
doing.
A
Doing
all
of
this,
like
I
really
and
supermarkets,
I
really
do
appreciate
those
job
opportunities,
but
I'm
really
going
to
try
and
really
push
the
our
those
who
are
doing
business
in
the
city
of
boston,
to
open
up
their
doors
to
our
returning
citizens
and
to
and
and
to
folks,
because
I
I
think
we
need
to
move
beyond
just
the
traditional
types
of
jobs
that
may
be
available
for
folks
and
really
push
ourselves
to
really
think
about.
A
How
do
we
really
build
strong
pathways
to
economic,
empowerment
and
justice
for
for
those
who
are
coming
back
into
society?
And
I
really
do
appreciate
joe's
comments
in
terms
of
immunity
and
and
and
dr
rufus's
earlier
comments
in
terms
of
shifting
that
narrative,
and
I
think
what
counselor
campbell
is
talking
about,
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
really
bring
these
worlds
together
in
terms
of
that
narrative
shifting
in
terms
of
holding
ourselves
accountable
to
having
fruitful
jobs,
and
I'm
just
I
know
trying
you
had
your
hands
up
with
that.
A
A
Well,
you're
gonna
have
to
clean
your
camera
because
I
can't
really
see
what
you
were
doing
over
there
and
you
all
have
to
come
camera
ready.
When
you
come
to
one
of
my
hearings:
okay,
because
I'm
gonna
call
everybody
out
on
some
stuff.
I
know
that
counselor
flaherty,
you
were
underground
for
a
quick
second,
not
sure
if
you,
as
one
of
the
co-sponsors
of
this
hearing,
want
to
have
some
final
remarks
or
some
questions
to
to
share
with
us
and
then
I'm
going
to
go
to
counselor
flynn.
E
Thank
you
yeah.
I
had
bad
service.
Hopefully
this
is
a
little
better,
but
I
appreciate
your
time
and
attention
to
detail
madam
chair
and
for
all
the
panelists
and
the
and
the
guests,
as
well
as
all
of
our
colleagues,
for
which
I
think
is
a
very
meaningful
discussion
about
giving
folks
that
second
chance,
people
that
have
paid
their
debt
to
society
and
they're
looking
forward
to
to
move
on
and
put
some
time
and
distance
from
their
last
offense
or
turning
the
page.
E
You
know
for
being
sort
of
lack
of
a
better
phrase:
young
and
stupid.
We've
all
been
there
and
we've
all
learned
very
valuable
lessons,
but
for
the
grace
of
god,
we
take
it
choose
a
certain
path,
but
could
have
very
well
been
different
from
for
all
of
us
on
on
this
hearing.
E
So
I'm
all
for
giving
someone
a
fair
shake
and
providing
opportunity
so
that
they
could
get
meaningful
employment
opportunities
to
get
those
health
benefits
for
to
reim,
with
reimbursable
care,
for
our
medical
institutions
make
sure
that
they
have
access
to
to
to
to
quality
housing
and
educational
and
advancement
opportunities.
So
that's
what
I'm
about!
E
That's
how
I
was
born
and
raised,
and
and
hopefully
we'll
continue
this
conversation,
and
I
know
that
all
of
our
great
efforts
around
corey
got
sidetracked
to
some
degree
because
of
covid
like
everything
else,
and
just
want
to
make
sure
that
during
these
times
that
we
continue
to
pay
attention
to
the
great
work
and
the
great
organizations
that
are
doing
that
work
and
find
ways.
We
can
strengthen
our
partnership
and
move
forward
so
appreciate
everyone's
time
and
attention
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
together.
Thank
you
manager
and
thanks
to
the
co-sponsor.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilman
here
for
sharing
this
and
counsel
me
here
for
your
important
work
on
this
issue
for
many
years
as
well
glad
to
partner
with
my
colleague,
counselor
flaherty,
as
well
in
his
work
as
an
assistant
district
attorney
working
on
courier
reform
for
many
years.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
council
of
flaherty
to
all
of
my
colleagues,
to
mayor
walsh
and
to
the
panelists,
especially
that
are
here
that
have
never
never
given
up
on
people,
and
that's
really.
C
The
the
boston
way
is,
is
never
looking
down
on
somebody
and
trying
to
give
someone
a
hand
up
in
an
opportunity
to
a
job.
The
job
is
the
best
social
program
there
is,
and
everybody
wants
to
work.
Regardless
of
your
background,
everyone
wants
to
pay
their
bills.
Everyone
wants
food
on
their
table
for
their
kids.
So
thank
you
to
the
panelists
for
the
incredible
work
that
you're
doing.
A
Thank
you,
thank
you,
and
so
at
this
point
I
would
like
to
thank
all
of
our
panelists
and
my
colleagues
for
for
joining
us.
I
am
as
the
chair
of
small
business
and
workforce
development,
see
myself
as
a
partner
and
someone
who
will
hold
myself
accountable
to
this
conversation
and
making
sure
that
we
are
being
transparent
with
the
work
that
we're
trying
to
move
forward,
as
it
relates
to
this
very
specific
issue.
A
I'm
an
experiential
learner
and
I've
learned
a
lot
in
this
conversation
and,
more
importantly,
I
think
that
you
know
we
can't
continue
to
just
do
business
as
usual.
We
have
an
amazing
opportunity
in
front
of
us
to
figure
out
how
we're
going
to
support
small
businesses
and
and
our
returning
citizens
to
see
themselves
as
partners
in
this
conversation,
and
so
we
can't
continue
to
be
doing
this
all
over
the
place
and
then
expecting
things
to
change
and
nobody's
ready
to
do
the
work.
A
So
I'm
here
for
all
of
it
and
and
appreciate
michael
the
co-sponsors
of
this
hearing
for
bringing
it
to
the
forefront.
I
really
do
appreciate
you
being
here
and
and
hosting
us
and
as
well
as
my
colleagues
who
have
joined
us
and
so
in
the
interest
of
not
holding
anyone
else
hostage
during
this
public
hearing.
I
think
let
me
read
my
script,
so
I
can
make
sure
that
I
say
all
of
this
right,
because
you
know
everything
is
formal
up
in
here.
So
thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
public.
A
Thank
you
to
the
panelists
for
their
testimonies.
Before
closing
this
hearing,
I
believe
everyone
had
already
shared
their
closing
remarks
and
I
will
now
draw
this
hearing
to
a
close
and
I'm
gaveling
us
out
with
my
bootleg
gavel
here
and
thank
you
everyone
for
for
being
here.
I
really
do
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
