Let
me
just
say
a
couple
words
about
our
mayor.
He
has
been
so
instrumental
in
thinking
about
what
people
need
as
they
age
in
this
city
and
really
thinking
about
how
we
create
an
age-friendly
boston,
he's
work
to
get
discounts.
A
B
That's
why
we
here

of
the
reasons

think

couple
of

I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
get
all
the
things
out
of
the
way
anyone
I
missed.
I'll
get
you
later.
You
know
this
is
a.
This
is
not
interesting
times
in
our
country.
After
the
election
last
week,
there's
been
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
fear
in
some
corners,
uncertain,
see
in
other
corners,
and
what
I've
been
saying
all
along
is
that
Boston
we're
a
special
place.
Boston.
B
Things
are
happening.
The
reason
why
we
have
great
people
like
you
in
the
shroom
who
have
been
in
the
city
for
so
long
so,
regardless
of
who
you
voted
for
week
ago,
Tuesday
and
regardless
of
all
the
things
that
are
happening
in
this
country,
that
doesn't
mean,
as
a
city
we're
going
to
stop
we're
going
to
continue
to
move
forward
as
a
city
we're
going
to
continue
to
be
united
in
the
city.
I,
don't
know
where
anyone
is
an
immigration,
but
I
know
one
thing
for
sure.
Many.
B
Emily
talked
about
one
of
the
most
important
segments
or
people
at
on
city
are
our
senior
citizens
and
the
other
day
comcast
announced
a
program
that
is
called
the
comcast
internet,
essential
for
senior
citizens
and
working
to
make
sure
that
seniors
have
access
to
high-speed
Internet
service,
but
also
at
a
lower
price.
So
when
they
came
back
with
that,
I
want
to
thank
them
for
that.
I
want.
B
This
last
time
we
were
together.
Water
and
sue
came
up
with
a
rate
if
you're
a
homeowner
in
the
city,
and
you
obviously
you
have
water
and
so
on,
make
sure
you
take
advantage
of
the
senior
discount
that
we
have
we're
going
to
see
a
discount
right
now,
if
you
own,
all
in
your
city,
make
sure
that
you
fill
out
your
tax.
If
you
haven't
done
that,
if
you,
if
you
are
houses
in
the
trust,
you
can
still
fill
out
the
document
to
get
that
exemption.
B
So
that
was
a
question
that
one
of
them
somebody
asked
me
I
figured.
We
were
one
of
the
place,
the
last
part
time
later
party,
and
it
was
it-
was
that
the
north
end
group
that
actually
asked
me.
So
those
are
things
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
to
continue
to
move
our
city
forward.
We
have
blessed
in
the
city
we
have
blessed
to
have
a
good,
safe
city.
We
r
plus
day
I,
know
one
gentleman
grabbed
me
on
the
construction
that
what
I
was
going
everywhere.
B
There
are
some
streets
in
the
north
end
that
we
can't
touch
it
with
water,
so
we're
still
going
down
there
and
I
wonder
what
I
want
to
want.
I
want
to
want.
You
know
let
you
know
that
as
the
air
goes
on,
we'll
keep
you
notified,
because
when
water
and
stewards
done
what
their
work
will
be
able
to
go
back
and
do
some
work
on
those
streets.
So
this
in
the
Prado
we're
going
to
be
working
doing
some
renovation
for
the
Prado
we're
working
on
a
lot
of
different
parts.
B
The
counselor
is
interested
in
in
looking
at
not
interested.
We
talked
about
it.
Is
there
a
way
for
us
to
look
at
our
community
center
than
nothing,
and
it's
a
way
for
us
that
maybe
we
deserve
redesign
rebuild
a
new
community
center
at
some
point
in
the
future.
The
schools
in
the
north
end
are
the
best
of
the
city.
Quite
honestly,
and
some
of
you
have
grandchildren
goes
to
those
schools,
or
some
of
your
kids
might
have
ones,
that's
cool
and
you
lost
touch
with
the
school,
but
some
great
things
happening
in
the
city.
B
B
So
I
want
to
thank
you
all,
I'm
going
to
turn
the
microphone
over
now,
I'm
going
to
give
it
to
out
our
work
when
you
ring
politics,
you
always
respect
your
elders,
all
right
and
joe
and
my
elder
is
a
guy
named
Sal
LaMattina,
so
the
teen
of
the
delegation
we're
going
to
bring
him
up
here
all
right.
Thank.
B
A
D
That's
also,
but
on
I'm
so
proud
to
be
here
as
a
grand
son
of
Italian
immigrants
who
came
to
this
country
early
1900s,
to
make
a
better
life
for
our
family.
So
I
am
so
grateful
on
to
celebrate
matheran
heritage
mother,
because
I
celebrate
my
grandparents
who
came
here
from
Avellino,
Naples
and
Sicily,
so
I
have
the
best
of
both
world.
I
am
so
unfortunate
of
investable
world,
but
at
home
right
tell
my
mother,
I'm
Sicilian.
She
gets
upset
with
me
because
there's
no

from
Naples,
because
you're
born
I'm

bothering
your
mom.
D
You

but

will
say:

same,
but

I
am
so
grateful
and
honored
to
VTO
city
councillor,

love
the
not

hundreds
of
grandmothers

I've
been
a
new
right,
but
I've
been

four
times
in
the
last
five
months.
Right
so.
B
C
It's
great
to
be
here
today
to
celebrate
our
italian-american
heritage.
I'm
an
italian-american,
it's
great
to
have
a
mayor
in
the
city
recognizes
the
contributions
that
Italian
Americans
have
made
the
city
since
its
inception
and
building
this
city
up.
You
know,
I
was
so
happy
during
October,
which
wasn't
our
Italian
heritage
month
to
be
invited
by
the
mayor
and
city
council
of
la
macchina
had
a
full
of
venom
city
hall
plaza
to
raise
the
Italian
flag.
It
was
the
first
time
in
a
wild.
C
C
That
comes
to
my
next
wicked,
as
I
was
leaving
city
hall.
Don't
back
up
to
beacon
hill
walking
on
to
my
office.
I
walked
by
the
mayor.
Coming
from
another
event,
he
had
a
group
of
people
were
you
coming
from
it's
at
City
Hall.
We
were
raising
the
Italian
flag,
yeah.
We
talked
about
something
else
and
as
I
was
walking
away,
he
said
to
his
entourage
with
people
around,
and
he
said
you
know:
I
love
the
Italian
Americans
and,
let's
don't
we
all
love
him
too?
Don't
the
italian-american
level.
