Description
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and MA Governor-Elect Maura Healey host a joint press conference following their first private meeting since the Attorney General was elected the next Governor.
A
Well,
it's
nice
to
see
you
all.
Thank
you
for
coming.
I'm
really
really
excited
about.
What's
ahead
for
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
entire
Commonwealth,
we
have
an
incredible
leader
here,
and
the
city
and
the
state
have
a
lot
of
big
issues
to
tackle.
But
I
know
with
the
governor's
leadership
and
the
team
that
she's
assembling,
we
are
going
to
have
some
amazing
amazing
progress.
Here
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
pressing
needs
for
City
and
and
Statewide
around
housing
and
transportation.
B
B
I
think
this
is
a
subject
of
ongoing
discussion,
and
really
you
know
what's
important
here
is
that
teams
are
talking
the
State
team
talking
with
the
team
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
working
with
other
towns
and
cities
around
the
state,
making
sure
that
there
is
a
ready
flow
of
information
and
then
together
we'll
figure
out
what
we
need
to
do
when
it
comes
to
housing
and
treatment
and
options?
It's
all
about
communication,
and
it
is
about
partnership.
B
Well,
that's
what
we're
going
to
determine
right
now.
It
is
true.
The
state
has
done
an
awful
lot.
You
know,
I
think
about
the
money
that
has
come
in
over
the
years,
some
of
it
by
way
of
settlements
from
the
Attorney
General's
office,
a
lot
of
it
through
the
legislature
as
well,
and
a
lot
has
been
provided
by
cities
like
Boston
and
so
right
now
it's
about.
A
An
issue
that
I
know
she
cares
very
deeply
about
has
already
demonstrated
in
her
years
of
Public
Service,
some
of
the
strongest
most
Community
Driven
leadership
here
delivered
results
for
cities
and
towns.
Already
we
are
already
able
to
benefit
from
the
settlement
that
she
secured
and
using
some
of
those
resources,
try
to
repair
some
of
the
harm
from
pharmaceutical
companies
and
others
in
this
space,
and
so
I
think
we
have
a
a
partner
here
and
with
every
policy
it
ends
up.
A
The
success
of
our
implementation
ends
up
being
about
the
day-to-day
conversations
Communications
on
the
ground
and
the
nitty-gritty
details
of
how
to
move
things
forward,
and
you
know
we
have.
We
have
that
commitment
and
we
have
that
partner
and
I'm
eager
to
help
provide
whatever
support
we
can
in
the
city
of
Boston,
so
that
we
can
see
that
that
relationship
built
at
every
level
with
with
our
teams
as
well
funding,
specifically
on
the
issue
of
funding
regarding.
A
A
You
know
there
are
many
pieces
that
go
into
addressing
the
opioid
crisis,
but
every
step
that
we
take
has
to
also
be
about
immediately
saving
lives,
and
so
we
regularly
take
in
many
many
more
syringes
than
are
given
out
through
the
harm
reduction
programs.
For
example,
and
we
have
seen
a
a
big
drop
and
data
proven
success
with
the
parts
of
this
Pro.
The
goals
of
this
program,
which
are
to
ensure
that
there
is
a
stop
to
communicable
diseases
that
are
preventable.
B
I
said
that
when
it
comes
to
this,
it's
up
to
communities
to
decide,
I
will
tell
you
that
housing
will
be
a
priority,
continue
to
be
a
priority
for
the
Healy
Driscoll
Administration.
We're
working
really
hard.
Looking
at
a
lot
of
policies
right
now,
looking
at
a
lot
of
things
that
we
can
do
to
support
housing
production
around
the
state.
A
A
Those
are
those
are,
you
know
it's
impossible
to
say:
are
you
for
this
or
that
without
looking
at
the
specifics
of
it,
and
so
our
goal
is
to
really
present
all
of
the
research
and
the
conversations
and
and
data
and
thinking
that
is
behind
our
policy
and
make
the
the
case
that
this
is
what
we
need
in
this
moment
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
then
work
and
engage
the
state
at
that
point.
All
right.
Thank.
