From YouTube: Environmental Justice Event With Senator Ed Markey
Description
Mayor Wu will join Senator Ed Markey for an Environmental Justice Event.
A
We
were
able
to
pass
the
inflation
reduction
act
of
2022
through
the
senate
last
evening.
Now
it's
on
a
pathway
to
the
house
and
then
to
the
president
of
the
united
states
for
his
signature.
I'm
joined
here
today
by
our
green
new
deal
mayor
michelle
wu
by
clean
energy
champion
joe
curtitone,
president
of
the
northeast
clean
energy
council,
massachusetts,
environmental
warrior,
kabul,
ames
and
our
partner
in
environmental
justice,
roseanne
bond
giovanni
executive
director,
green
roots
chelsea
and
our
climate
and
environmental
justice
advocates
know
this
hard
fought.
Victory
is
decades
in
the
making.
A
A
In
the
intervening
decade,
we
have
suffered
the
consequences
of
climate
action
weather
that
used
to
be
extreme,
is
now
the
new
normal
and
that
normal
is
deadly,
but
today
powered
by
a
movement
that
never
once
wavered
in
the
struggle
for
a
livable
future.
We
have
a
fighting
chance
at
combating
this
crisis.
A
This
weekend,
my
democratic
colleagues
and
I
joined
together
in
passing
a
bill
that
makes
historic
investments
in
climate
justice
and
delivers
the
resources
we
need
to
get
started,
and
it
was
my
honor
to
be
partnering
with
elizabeth
warren
throughout
this
fight
to
make
sure
that
massachusetts
and
our
perspective
to
be
the
cutting
edge
state
and
showing
that
this
can
be
done,
guaranteed
that
we
would
get
the
vote
and
have
it
pass
on
the
floor
of
the
united
states
senate,
and
it
is
my
honor
to
partner
with
her
in
this
fight
and
critically.
A
This
legislation
passes
the
baseline
climate
test
of
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
creating
millions
of
new
good
paying
union
clean
energy
jobs
and
beginning
the
low
long
overdue
process
of
investing
in
justice
for
fright
frontline
communities.
So
this
bill
reduces
greenhouse
gases
by
40
percent.
A
A
It
will
create
nine
million
new
jobs,
clean
energy
jobs
in
our
country,
reduction
in
greenhouse
gases
by
40,
60
billion
dollars
to
environmental
justice
communities
and
nine
million
new
jobs
created
all
in
one
bill,
and
on
top
of
that,
there
is
also
a
dramatic
reduction
in
the
cost
of
prescription
drugs
for
seniors
in
our
country
and
funding
for
individuals
who
otherwise
would
have
seen
an
average
of
eight
hundred
dollar
increase
in
their
insurance
premiums
for
health
care
in
our
country,
all
in
the
same
bill.
A
So
this
is
an
historic
piece
of
legislation
it
is.
It
is
the
funding
we
need
for
the
health
of
the
planet
and
the
funding.
We
need
for
the
health
of
families
in
our
country
to
pay
their
health
care
bills,
and
so
for
me,
this
is
an
incredible
moment.
We
are
going
to
ultimately
say
to
the
american
people.
A
There's
no
reason
why
you
have
to
pay
four
or
five
dollars
a
gallon
for
gasoline
when
you
can
have
an
all-electric
vehicle
that
averages
75
cents
for
your
payments,
for
your
all-electric
vehicle
to
be
able
to
move
you
anywhere.
A
You
want
in
our
state
or
in
our
country,
and
we
put
in
for
the
first
time
a
four
thousand
dollar
tax
break
for
used
electric
vehicles
so
that
we
lower
the
income
level
ultimately
for
those
who
can
afford
it,
because
most
people
buy
used
cars
in
our
country,
not
brand
new
cars
and
by
having
a
tax
break
for
used.
A
We
create
the
incentives
to
ensure
that
there
is
domestic
manufacture
of
electric
vehicles
of
solar
panels
of
wind
turbines.
Here
in
the
united
states
of
america,
we
have
to
break
these
supply
chains
from
china
and
other
parts
of
the
world
that
are
more
dangerous
in
terms
of
a
guarantee
that
they're
going
to
be
available
to
american
workers
and
american
consumers.
A
Two
individuals,
two
to
cities
and
towns
across
the
country,
the
ability
to
be
able
to
get
super
low
interest
loans
in
order
to
take
on
climate
related
projects
in
their
own
communities.
Mackenzie.
The
consulting
firm
says
that
it
will
unleash
seven
to
ten
dollars
of
private
sector
investment
for
every
single
dollar
that
the
federal
government
puts
in
so
that's
30
billion
times,
10.,
okay,
so
upwards
of
300
billion
dollars
of
additional
investment
because
of
the
leveraging
that
it
makes
possible
and
it
can
be
for
housing
public
housing
units.
A
It
can
be
for
a
smaller
business
that
wants
the
funding
they
need.
It
can
be
for
a
community
that
wants
to
deploy
an
array
of
solar
in
their
community
to
remediate
otherwise
unsolvable
local
environmental
issues.
So
all
of
this
combined
makes
it
one
of
the
most
important
pieces
of
legislation
to
ever
be
considered
by
the
united
states
congress.
A
We
know
that
in
this
legislation
there
are
concessions
that
have
have
been
made
to
to
senator
manchin
in
terms
of
the
leasing
of
public
lands,
and
that's
something
I'm
going
to
be
monitoring
very
very
closely,
because
the
the
national
environmental
policy
act
nipah
is
the
constitution
of
the
environment
in
our
country.
A
It
has
been
on
the
books
since
1970
and
I
have
been
protecting
it
for
for
the
duration
of
my
career
and
I'm
going
to
be
monitoring
that
very
very
closely
to
make
sure
that
there
are
no
no
decisions
which
are
made
that
undermine
the
protections
which
our
country
absolutely
needs.
So
I
know
all
too
well
going
back
to
2009
and
2010
that
nothing
is
a
political
option
and
the
political
option
of
nothing
was
taken
in
2009
in
2010.
A
But
no
is
not
a
planetary
option.
We
have
to
take
action.
That's
what
this
bill
does
it
says
to
the
rest
of
the
world
that
the
united
states
is
back,
that
we
will
be
a
leader
that
we
are
not
going
to
be
sitting
on
the
sidelines
any
longer
and
that
we
have
to
reduce
dramatically
the
greenhouse
gases
that
go
up
into
the
atmosphere
to
avoid
the
worst
consequences
of
the
storms
of
the
floods,
that
we
see
every
single
night
leading
the
news
here
in
massachusetts
and
across
our
country,
and
we
have
to
be
the
leader.
A
So
that
is
why
you
know
I'm
so
happy
today
and
and
to
be
here
with
national
leaders
on
this
issue
and
none
more
than
our
great
mayor
of
the
city
of
boston,
the
great
michelle
wu.
Please
met
america.
B
I
share
all
the
time
that
my
two
boys
are
what
start
and
end
my
day
my
older
son
blazes
seven
and
when
he
was
born
in
december
of
2014,
I
was
processing
so
much
as
a
new
mom
and
a
new
city
counselor,
and
then
the
news
came
right
around
that
time
of
year
that
it
was
the
hottest
year
ever
on
record.
At
that
point,
right,
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
years
of
record
keeping.
B
Actually
we're
on
august
now
june
of
2022
is
the
hottest
that
we
have
seen
first
time
that
we've
reached
100
degrees
in
boston
in
70
years
and
we're
today
still
in
a
heat
emergency.
As
we
see
the
many
impacts
of
climate
change
continue
to
intensify,
and
so
this
couldn't
have
come
at
a
better
moment.
For
us,
we
are
so
thankful,
and
so
grateful
for
your
leadership
today
is
an
exciting
day.
For
many
reasons.
Also,
today
is
the
official
announcement,
as
we
welcome
boston's.
First
ever
green
new
deal
director,
oliver
sellers
garcia.
C
B
I
want
to
recognize
that
this
moment
also
is
a
victory
that
the
senator
has
championed
on
behalf
of
and
alongside
so
many
activists
and
community
leaders
who
have
been
pushing
us
all
along
for
decades,
and
some
of
them
are.
You
will
hear
from
soon
others
are
represented
in
this
room.
This
is
decades
in
the
making
and
would
not
have
happened
without
the
drum
beat
and
the
hope,
faith
and
relentless
advocacy
from
our
community
organizations
and
activists
so
keep
it
up
and
we're
so
excited.
B
Thank
you
especially
to
our
environmental
justice
organizations,
young
people,
who
have
been
organizing
all
across
the
country
to
make
sure
that
we
move
with
urgency.
In
this
moment,
this
legislation
centers
our
environmental
justice
communities
by
making
crucial
investments
in
ej
mapping,
community
air
quality
monitoring
addressing
urban
heat
islands,
as
well
as
improvements
to
the
walkability
safety,
transit,
accessibility
of
our
streets
and
neighborhoods,
and
making
climate
benefits
more
affordable
and
accessible
to
all
in
boston.
We've
been
proud
to
try
to
do
our
part
awaiting
praying
for
this
big
news.
B
We
are
requiring
large
building
owners
across
the
city
to
reduce
their
emissions.
We've
divested
city
funds
from
harmful
industries,
including
fossil
fuels,
private
prisons
and
tobacco,
and
we're
implementing
a
boss,
a
green
new
deal
for
boston's
public
schools
as
well,
upgrading
our
facilities,
reducing
municipal
building
emissions
and
creating
a
healthier,
more
nurturing
learning
environment
for
all
of
our
students.
We
know
this
work
couldn't
wait,
and
today
we
are
so
thrilled
that
we're
not
doing
it
alone.
B
This
is
the
type
of
investment
at
the
scale
that
we
need
and
it's
a
historic
day.
Boston
will
seize
all
of
the
opportunities
that
this
presents
from
funding
electrification
of
vehicles
in
fleets
throughout
our
city
and
encouraging
and
helping
to
break
down
the
barriers
for
all
of
our
residents
to
tap
into
green
energy
grabbing
those
tax
credits
for
energy,
efficient
buildings
and
plugging
our
families.
B
Our
hard-working
residents
into
the
some
of
the
nine
mil
we're
going
to
get
more
than
our
fair
share
of
those
nine
million
jobs
in
boston
and
the
greater
boston
area.
It
sets
us
up
to
serve
as
a
model
for
the
rest
of
the
world
in
being
bold
and
imaginative,
with
the
actions
that
we
can
take
to
protect
our
planet,
and
so
I'm
so
thrilled
to
be
celebrating
this
remarkable
victory
for
our
communities
and
for
our
planet
and
excited
to
demonstrate
just
how
much
we
can
accomplish
when
we
do
so
together
with
urgency.
C
A
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
and
next
again
joe
curtitoni,
somebody
who
transformed
the
city
of
somerville
and
is
now
the
president,
thank
goodness
of
the
northeast
clean
energy
council.
Welcome
mr
mayor.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you
senator
well
good
morning.
I
can't
tell
you
what
an
honor
it
is
to
stand
here,
alongside
just
incredible
leaders
and
champions
from
senator
markey
to
me:
woo,
roseanne,
giovanni
and
kevin,
but
also
percent.
How
proud
I
am
and
commend
boston
for
the
hiring
of
oliver
sellers.
Garcia
has
a
somerville
flavor
to
him.
Have
we
worked
together
for
several
years?
E
There's
this
there's
a
quote
from
the
book
metropolitan
revolution
that
cities
lead
nations
follow
and
in
oliver
I
don't
have
to
tell
you
this
manuel
you're,
someone
who
leads
with
values
who
understands
it
takes
a
whole
of
society
approach
to
meet
our
climate
action
goals,
to
lead
with
diversity,
equity,
inclusion
and
justice,
and
to
align
all
the
components
and
expertise
in
the
ecosystem
to
achieve
our
goals.
But
I
come
here
today
representing
a
clean
energy
and
climate
economy
organization
with
more
than
300
members
in
the
northeast.
E
It
is
this
century's
moonshot
I
mean
when
our
societal
existence
has
been
such
an
important
cause
like
climate
action,
but
also
inextricably
tied
to
business
development
and
economic
opportunity.
It's
right
there
for
the
taken,
and
what
I'm
here
to
say
today
is
that
the
inflation
reduction
act
that
is
called
is
is
the
fuel
that
will
propel
what
we
need
to
get
us
there.
Groups
like
the
northeast
clean
energy
council
have
spent
years
trying
to
educate
policy
makers
and
the
public
that
we
have
the
technology
to
pull
our
climate
out
of
this
nosedive.
E
In
fact,
we've
already
developed
60.
You
know
technology
that
will
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
60
over
the
next
decade.
If
we
can
bring
them
to
implementation,
we
can
produce
clean
energy.
We
can
move
around
and
manufacture
the
goods
we
use
in
modern
life
in
a
sustainable
way.
Yet
we
have
been
fighting
fighting
as
a
society,
an
established
and
deeply
entrenched
old
guard
that
has
done
everything
it
can
to
delay
this
necessary
transition
to
clean
energy.
E
This
bill,
led
by
senator
markey
and
others,
will
shatter
that
resistance
and
lead
to
a
transition
more
rapid
than
anyone
could
have
imagined
even
two
weeks
ago.
It
ensures
the
most
reliable
and
affordable
energy
projects.
We
can
build
our
clean
energy
projects
now,
if
you
want
a
resilient
energy
system
that
can
endure
heat
waves,
like
we've
been
having
this
summer
or
cold
snaps
like
we
had
last
winter,
then
renewable
energy
is
the
only
way
forward.
E
E
E
Also,
let's
keep
our
fingers
crossed
and
encourage
our
governor
baker
signs
the
landmark
climate
legislation
here
in
massachusetts
this
week,
then
we're
going
to
see
a
rapid,
clean
energy
transition
that
can
bring
opportunity
and
improve
quality
of
life
to
every
home
on
every
street
in
every
neighborhood.
Here
in
the
commonwealth.
E
Now
I
know
we're
not
used
to
hearing
the
good
news
when
it
comes
to
climate,
but
these
two
bills
together
will
reshape
the
commonwealth.
It's
always
hard
to
gauge
history,
why
you're
living
in
it?
But
this
is
the
moment
where
we
rolled
up
our
sleeves
and
got
to
work
on
securing
our
future,
where
we
jumped
on
a
champion's
back
to
get
it
done.
This
is
where
we
cleared
the
way
for
something
new
and
better
to
replace
the
technologies
that
are
killing
our
planet.
E
So
once
again,
I
want
to
thank
first
asmr,
who
said
every
advocate
and
activist
every
person
will
walk
a
life
who's
quiet.
If
you
don't
think
that
has
impact.
I
hope
this
sends
a
clear
message
that
it
does
and
our
work's
not
done
when
they
keep
fighting,
but
senator
markey
and
senator
warren,
along
with
our
entire
delegation,
the
house,
which
is
going
to
be
voting
this
bill,
and
especially
president
biden
and
vice
president
harris
who
will
sign
it
into
law.
E
A
And
next
roseanne
von
giovanni
from
green
roots,
chelsea
thank.
F
F
We
are
so
grateful
good
morning.
Thank
you,
senator
markey,
for
the
invitation
to
join
you
today
on
this
momentous
occasion
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
lifetime
commitment
to
climate
and
environmental
justice
that
has
helped
to
achieve
this
historic
moment.
My
name
is
roseanne
bongiovanni
and
I'm
the
executive
director
of
greed
roots.
We
are
a
resident-led
organization
working
to
achieve
environmental
and
climate
justice
and
improved
public
health
in
chelsea,
east
boston
and
surrounding
communities.
I'm
joined
here
today
by
some
of
my
fellow
colleagues.
F
Thank
you
again
for
this
invitation
to
be
with
you
all
for
those
of
us
who
live
in
environmental
justice
communities.
This
bill
is
a
matter
of
life
and
death.
Our
residents
have
been
disproportionately
burdened
by
decades
of
environmental
racism
and
oppression
that
have
left
our
neighborhoods
polluted,
unhealthy
and
dangerous
to
live
in
the
daughter
of
immigrant
working-class
parents.
I
grew
up
in
chelsea,
not
knowing
that
we
lived
in
a
waterfront
community.
Yes,
chelsea
is
surrounded
by
waterways
on
three
sides.
F
Despite
amazing
accomplishments
with
our
allied
partners
in
environmental
justice
like
ace,
neighborhood,
neighbor,
chinatown,
progressive
association,
low-income
communities
and
communities
of
color
continue
to
face
disproportionate
burdens.
Our
communities
were
the
hardest
hit
by
covet
19.
The
most
impacted
by
these
severe
heat
waves,
most
likely
to
be
lead
poisoned,
suffer
from
asthma
and
chronic
respiratory
and
cardiovascular
disease,
and
most
likely
to
continue
to
be
subjected
to
the
sighting
of
polluting
industries.
F
We
have
been
calling
for
bold
action,
investments
in
our
communities
and
prioritizing
the
lives
of
low-income
people
and
people
of
color.
We
have
raised
the
alarms
to
the
concerns
of
climate
threats
and
environmental
injustice,
we're
so
grateful
to
you,
senator
markey
and
your
fellow
democratic
leaders
who
have
responded
to
the
call
for
bold
action,
investment
and
prioritizing
the
lives
of
low-income
people
and
people
of
color.
F
While
this
won't
end
the
environmental
and
climate
threats
facing
our
communities
and
it
won't
unilaterally
end
the
harms
of
the
extractive
economy,
particularly
from
the
fossil
fuel
industry.
It
is
a
historic
moment
of
investment
and
prioritization
of
environmental
justice
communities
for
major
climate
advances.
It
is
the
bold
action
and
investment
we
need
to
positively
impact
the
life
or
death
scenarios
facing
our
brown
black
immigrant,
indigenous
and
low-income
communities.
F
G
I
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
say
that
I've
had
a
sleepless
night
and
not
the
kind
that
I
usually
have,
but
one
of
just
pure
excitement
and
joy
for
what
the
senator
has
delivered
to
us
today,
and
I
must
thank
you
wholeheartedly
for
your
leadership,
but
also
for
your
commitment
and
courage
to
this
fight
because
it
takes
political
courage
to
get
where
we
are.
Today.
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
To
disrupt
the
power
of
the
fossil
fuel
lobby
and
deliver
on
climate
change
solutions
and
he
has
prevailed,
we
will
continue
to
be
a
relentless
partner
in
the
fight
against
climate
change
and
we
look
forward
to
many
more
successes
with
climate
leaders
like
senator
markey,
like
mayor
wu
and
all
of
the
rest
of
you
that
are
out
there,
we
will
be
a
partner,
we
will
get
you
elected
and
we
will
fight
for
the
change
this
moment
deserves.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
I
was
able
to
pass
three
bills:
a
bill
to
create
the
18-inch
satellite
dish,
a
bill
to
move
200
megahertz
over,
so
that
young
entrepreneurs
could
maybe
figure
out
a
way
of
having
us
all,
disconnect
our
black
rotary
dial
phones,
and
maybe
we
could
have
some
device
that
was
in
our
pocket.
That
would
have
more
power
than
the
computers
that
put
a
man
on
the
moon
in
1969
and
then
the
1996
telecommunications
act
and
I'm
very
proud
of
that
bill.
A
Because
on
that
day,
president
clinton
signed
that
bill,
not
one
home
in
america
had
broadband,
not
one
home
in
america
had
broadband
and
that
unleashed
a
revolution
that
moved
our
whole
country
from
analog
to
digital,
from
narrowband
to
broadband
and
there's
no
looking
back
young
people
embraced
it.
This
bill
is
going
to
move
us
from
a
dirty
economy
to
a
clean
economy.
A
It's
going
to
be
the
same
kind
of
revolution
that
creates
the
same
number
of
millions
of
jobs
that
young
people
are
going
to
be
able
to
move
into
that
union
workers
will
be
able
to
embrace
and
provide
for
their
families.
It
won't
just
be
a
job
it'll,
be
a
career
for
generations
to
come
in,
transforming
our
economy.
A
Yale,
university
and
others
did
an
analysis
saying
that
the
death
of
that
bill
was,
as
a
result
of
the
largest
single
amount
of
money
ever
spent
to
defeat
any
bill
in
the
history
of
the
united
states.
Why
is
that?
Because
it's
the
wealthiest
industry,
it
was
going
to
be
disrupted
by
that
legislation,
and
so
I
realized
that
there
was.
A
A
A
On
that
day,
I
wore
this
tie
as
we
introduced
a
green
new
deal
and
I
wore
it
yesterday
on
the
floor
of
the
united
states
senate.
It's
a
little
bit
more
tattered
now
because
it's
gone
to
so
many
events
over
the
last
three
years.
A
But
ultimately
it
is
the
green
new
deal,
momentum
that
created
the
political
pressure
that
said
to
the
congress.
You
must
act,
you
must
respond
generationally
to
our
cry
that
you
no
longer
abandon
your
job
to
protect
future
generations.
In
our
country,
so
that's
the
day
that
we're
celebrating
right
now
and
it's
been
a
long
time
coming.
A
But
what
it's
going
to
do
is
it's
going
to
unleash
a
generational
revolution
that
will
employ
people
in
clean
energy
industries
to
the
point
where
the
rest
of
the
world,
in
the
same
way
that
they
now
have
these
devices
in
their
pockets?
They'll
have
access
to
very
inexpensive,
wind
and
solar
and
all
electric
vehicles
and
storage
battery
technologies
and
transmission
systems
invented
in
the
united
states
by
american
entrepreneurs
and
workers.
That's
what
we
did
in
the
90s
we're
going
to
do
the
same
thing
for
clean
energy
in
this
century
as
well.
A
So
let
me
let
me
stop.
A
Let
me
stop
and
ask
if
you
have
any
questions.
Yes,.
H
In
way,
does
this
reduce
inflation?
Does
it
reduce
inflation
and,
if
somehow,.
A
Well,
for
seniors,
there's
going
to
be
a
cap
on
what
they
pay
out
of
pocket
for
pharmaceutical
drugs.
That's
dramatic
for
seniors!
They!
They
won't,
have
to
make
unconscionable
decisions
because
of
this
legislation.
A
dramatic
lowering
of
pharmaceutical
costs
for
upwards
of
10
to
15
million
americans,
we're
going
to
save
them
800
a
year
in
their
insurance
premiums,
and
those
are
the
people
who
can
least
afford
it,
because
that's
what
the
affordable
care
act
actually
takes
care
of
those
who
can
least
afford
health
care
insurance
in
our
country.
A
We're
also
going
to
be
providing
the
the
incentives
again
for
weatherization
for
helping
the
poorest
communities
and
the
poorest
families
to
be
able
to
deal
with
their
energy
bills
by
helping
them
to
install
the
energy
technologies
that
are
going
to
going
to
dramatically
reduce
their
bills
and
in
the
long
term,
as
as
joe
said,
solar
and
winds
are
a
lot
cheaper
than
oil
and
gas.
A
A
They
don't
want
you
to
think
about
the
cost
of
all
the
young
men
and
women
we
have
to
send
overseas
in
order
to
protect
the
oil
that
we
import
into
our
country
and
the
oil
and
gas
industry
doesn't
want
you
to
think
about
all
of
the
asthmas
all
of
the
premature
deaths,
all
of
the
other
disease
that
we
have
in
our
society
because
of
the
toxic
nature
of
of
this,
of
this
curse
that
we
have
lived
with
for
too
long
of
the
the
oil
and
gas
industry
has
been
able
to
protect
us.
A
So,
yes,
we
are
going
to
be
fighting
inflation
and
at
the
core
of
it,
is
of
course,
a
300
billion
dollar
reduction
in
our
deficit
and
from
larry
summers
on
nobel
prize
winners
are
all
saying
that
this
is
going
to
reduce
inflation,
it's
by
definition,
deflationary
because
we're
taking
money
in
totality
out
of
the
economy
and,
and
that
has
a
deflationary
effect
on
the
economy
and
larry
summers
all
the
way
down
the
line.
A
They
all
agree
that
that
is
the
case
and
that's
where
ordinary
families
right
now
are
suffering
and
we're
going
to
do
something
in
this
bill
that
is
unprecedented
in
my
career,
we're
actually
reducing
the
deficit
and
we're
doing
so
with
no
republican
votes,
which
is
why
we
can
call
it
the
inflation
reduction
act.
Okay,
that
is
what
it
is
doing
and-
and
I
think
the
american
people
get
it.
I
While
you
envision
a
wonderful
future
during
the
transition,
won't
taxes
on
the
natural
gas
taxes
that
I
said
to
increase
average
family
gas
bills,
17
crude
oil
taxes,
16.4
cents
a
barrel
and
doubling
the
coal
on
electricity,
doesn't
that
mean
the
folks
that
right
now
can't
afford
a
car
or
even
at
4,
000
off?
Aren't
there
basically,
their
electricity,
their
gasoline
and
their
gas
bill
is.
A
A
Exxon,
exxon,
two
percent:
I
mean
exxon,
exxon,
mobil
paid
three
percent
on
their
revenues
last
year
and
they
are
going
to
and
chevron
paid,
two
percent
well,
finally,
we're
going
to
lift
them
up
to
15,
that's
what
they're
going
to
have
to
pay
and
that
will
pay
for
that
would
be
a
big
part
of
paying
them
for
all
of
these
programs
that
are
in
this
bill.
A
Finally,
they're
going
to
pay
their
fair
share,
a
little
close
to
their
fair
share
of
the
dues
that
they
should
be
paying
in
order
to
keep
our
society
going
and
and
on
the
on
on
the
issue
of,
but
it
turns
out
to
be
like
three
tenths
of
a
cent
per
gallon.
A
You
mentioned
the
16
cents,
this
that
well
there's
42
42
gallons
of
gasoline
per
barrel,
so
that
comes
down
to
three
cents
per
gallon,
but
that
money
is
going
to
be
used,
then,
for
a
fund
to
clean
up
the
toxic
waste
that
the
these
industries
leave
over
okay,
we
need
the
funding
in
order
to
accomplish
that
goal.
But
of
course
the
industry
doesn't
want
to
pay
for
three
cents.
A
You
know
three
tenths
of
one
cent
in
order
to
clean
up
the
messes
that
they
leave
behind
like
the
malden
river
and
they
also
don't
want
to
be
funding
their
fair
share
of
the
wit
of
the
wind
and
solar
and
all
electric
vehicle
revolution
that
we
have
in
our
country.
So
it's
just
another
example
of
crocodile
tears
from
the
oil
and
gas
industry,
but
and
even
that
message
is
kind
of
deceptive,
because
it's
three
tenths
of
one
cent
that
we're
talking
about
what.
I
Natural
gas,
that
seems
to
be
because
they
say
the
70
average
gas
bill
will
be
bigger.
A
The
the
the
the
the
crocodile
tears
of
the
natural
gas
industry
doesn't
actually
extend
to
all
of
the
export
terminals
for
natural
gas
in
our
countries
that
they
want
to
construct
to
send
natural
gas
from
the
united
states
overseas,
and
all
experts
say
that
that
leads
to
a
20
to
25
percent
increase
in
the
natural
gas
price
for
domestic
use
in
our
country,
because
there's
few
less
natural
gas
in
our
own
country,
they
don't
seem
to
care.
A
You
know
when
it
comes
to
consumers,
except
to
the
extent
to
which
it
leads
to
them
being
able
to
take
them
upside
down
and
shaking
more
dollars
out
of
their
pockets.
So
it's
just
more
hypocrisy
from
the
natural
gas
industry,
they're
absolutely
incorrigible,
and
that's
why
their
day
of
reckoning
is
arriving.
Okay,
that's
why
young
people
all
across
our
country
are
so
happy
that
there
has
been
an
intergenerational
movement
that
has
risen
up
in
order
to
finally
take
on.
A
A
Well,
I'll,
let
the
mayor
speak
to
this
as
well,
but
my
view
is
that
the
federal
government
has
to
work
in
close
partnership
with
the
mbta
in
order
to
get
the
t
back
online
again.
This
has
been
a
problem
which
has
festered
for
a
long
long
time.
A
A
They
don't
have.
You
know
the
public
transportation
which
is
available
to
them.
My
father
used
to
have
to
take.
You
know
public
transportation
to
go
from
malden
into
charlestown
to
the
hood
mill
company,
so
we
could
get
his
truck.
We
didn't
have
a
car.
When
I
was
a
boy,
we
were
totally
dependent
upon
the
public
transportation
system
until
we
got
our
pontiac,
but
before
that
my
father
needed
the
mta.
A
It
was
called
at
the
time
to
get
to
work
in
charlestown
and
if
you
don't
have
that,
it's
a
pain,
okay
and
it's
an
incredible
disruption
of
your
family.
So
for
workers
for
students,
it's
got
to
get
fixed
and
we
need
the
closest
working
partnership
with
the
fta,
which
has
identified
the
problems
and
eye-watering
detail
to
work
with
the
mbta
to
get
it
fixed
and
get
it
fixed
as
quickly
as
possible.
Madam.
D
A
A
I
live
in
malden,
we
have
an
orange,
we
have
an
orange
line
that
stops
at
oak
grove
and
it
stops
in
malden
square,
and
these
are
working
people.
It's
a
blue-collar
community
malden
high
school
last
year
was
27
percent
white
25
black
24
latino
23
asian
okay.
So
these
are
working
people,
immigrant
families
working
hard,
but
they
need
the
tea
okay,
and
we
cannot
have
this
system
shut
down
again.
A
We
have
to
do
it
right,
do
it
now,
so
that
we
don't
have
to
return,
and
that
has
not
been
the
case
for
a
long
long
time.
Madam
mayor,
I
think
you
should.
B
I
I
completely
agree
with
the
senator.
We
need
a
partnership
now
to
take
over,
and
the
situation
is
at
a
breaking
point.
When
riders
don't
know
on
any
given
day
what
might
come
up,
how
serious
of
a
safety
concern
might
emerge
that
day
how
late
they
will
be
that
day,
and
so
it
is
time
for
sustained
focus,
investment
and
action
to
tackle
what
we've
known
for
many
many
years
has
been
a
building
problem
with
any
service.
B
The
most
important,
I
believe,
is
for
those
who
experience
it
every
day
to
have
a
direct
voice
in
shaping
it,
and
so
the
further
away
you
get
in
terms
of
federal
oversight
of
a
local
service.
Complete
takeover,
I
think,
raises
some
concerns
about
what
that
impact
would
be.
In
fact,
we
should
be
going
the
other
direction
and
the
city
of
boston
and
many
of
our
municipalities
in
the
metro
area
have
been
fighting
for
direct
seats
on
the
mbta
governing
board
for
boston
and
another
municipality.
B
We
came
just
about
as
close
as
we
could
come
in
this
last
budget
cycle,
and
so
it
was
passed
by
the
house
and
senate
slightly
amended
by
the
governor.
Those
amendments
accepted
by
the
house
and
then
went
to
the
senate
where,
in
the
rush
of
many
many
priorities,
there
was
no
action,
and
so
we
are
still
hopeful
that
it
is
just
pending.
This
final
sign
off
from
the
state
senate
for
the
city
of
boston
and
another
municipality,
to
have
that
direct
voice
in
governance.
B
That
would
give
voice
to
the
many
many
riders
who
rely
on
the
service
every
single
day
and
who
have
no
other
options.
So
we
have
to
get
this
right
and
we
hope
that,
whether
it's
in
informal
session
to
address
other
issues
and
legislation
that
the
state
legislature
may
take
up
that
they
will
will
continue
to
take
this
up
as
well.
A
Last
year,
in
in
the
fall,
we
were
able
in
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
bill
to
include
nine
billion
dollars
for
massachusetts
for
transportation
issues.
So
you
know
a
vision
without
funding
is
an
hallucination,
but
nine
billion
dollars
is
a
lot
of
money
to
come
into
the
state
of
massachusetts.
In
order
to
work
on
this
issue
and
by
the
way,
there's
also
going
to
be
a
referendum
on
the
ballot
this
november
on
millionaires
tax.
A
E
We
need
to
get
this
right
from
the
climate
perspective
and
just
a
couple
of
points.
This
is
more
than
just
service
around
boston,
somerville,
cambridge.
The
orange
line
is
the
only
line
that
connects
to
every
other
line
and
serves
the
most
underserved
most
vulnerable
communities.
Our
most
skilled
workers,
the
metropolitan
boston
region,
is
more
than
101
cities
and
towns
and
contributes
more
than
80
percent
of
the
economic
activity
to
the
whole
commonwealth.
E
We
got
to
get
this
right
and
on
the
climate
side,
I
support
with
my
colleagues
some
bold
deliberate
intervention,
but
but
to
be
determined
what
that
looks
like
with
some
mandates
for
the
commonwealth,
we've
got
to
get
the
transit
a
good
state
of
repair.
We've
got
to
continue
investment,
I
think
senator
markey
and
others
who
fought
to
make
sure
projects
like
the
green
line
happen
continue
to
happen.
Salt
coast
rail,
but
also
to
develop
our
climate
action
goals,
because
we
don't
solve
that.
We
cannot
meet
our
climate
action
goals
for
the
entire
commonwealth.
B
And
I
think
it'd
be
important
to
hear
from
our
advocates
too,
because
the
impact
of
high
heat
in
boston
and
massachusetts
is
is
another
life
or
death
situation
that
climate
presents
now
in
a
ever
more
urgent
way.
We
and
when
the
city
of
boston.
I
know
there
are
key
experts
in
the
room
like
allison
brizias,
our
environment,
commissioner,
when
boston
solidified,
one
of
our
earlier
climate-ready
boston
reports.
B
The
toll
that
that
continues
to
take
and
much
of
our
city
infrastructure
also
is
relying
on
standards
that
were
set
many
decades
ago
that
we
need
to
update
and
maintain
city
pools.
For
example,
it
is
incredibly
frustrating
to
me
that
we
are
at
a
point
where
many
of
our
city's
pools
unnecessary
at
this
point.
B
Climate
mitigation
feature
are
down
because
several
of
them
are
decades
past
their
useful
life
of
when
they
should
have
been
maintained
and
updated
and
completely
redone,
and
so
we
are
partnering
with
our
federal
and
state
partners
to
figure
out
how
we
can
update
all
of
our
infrastructure.
That's
electrification,
it's
also
heat
mitigation
and
drainage
and
storm
water
retention.
B
Yes,
and
so
the
the
formal
declaration
of
a
heat
emergency
allows
us
to
make
sure
that
our
resources
are
targeted
in
that
way,
the
cooling
centers
will
be
open
for
all
of
our
residents.
That
will
be
deploying
water
trucks
throughout
our
neighborhoods.
D
B
Don't
have
an
estimate
off
the
top
of
our
head,
but
I
think,
as
we
think,
about
the
oliver's
new
role
and
and
climate,
what
we
know
for
sure
is
that
putting
in
the
money
now
whether
it's
for
public
transportation
or
infrastructure
or
electrification,
always
costs
less
to
do
it
now
than
to
kick
the
can
down
the
road,
and
it
is
a
it-
is
a
burden
on
residents
to
see
the
continued
acceleration
of
climate
change.
So
we.
D
B
We
are
now
talking
specific
bus
mitigation
measures
and
so
whether
it's
the
shuttle
buses
that
will
be
running
and
deciding
those
exact
routes
so
that
we
can
have
shuttling
from
in
kind
of
the
northern
half
of
the
orange
line,
the
green
line
and
then
the
southern
half
of
the
orange
line,
as
well
as
how
to
support
bus
priority
on
other
routes
that
are
already
existing.
For
example
like
the
39
bus
that
aren't
technically
a
shuttle
bus.
But
we
expect
to
see
a
lot
more
people
using
that
as
an
alternative
as
well.
You're.
D
B
It
will
be
chaos
there's
no
other
way
to
this
is
this
is
not
an
ideal
situation
by
any
means,
and
we
never
should
have
gotten
to
this
point,
but
it
is
because
of
decades
of
delayed
action,
deferred
maintenance,
starving
our
public
transit
system
of
the
resources
that
it
needed.
Attaching
the
big
dig
debt
to
a
public
transit
agency
that
made
the
mbta
carry
more
debt
than
any
other
public
transit
agency
anywhere
in
the
country,
and
so
the
infrastructure
improvements
that
needed
to
be
made
along
the
way,
the
focus
and
the
priority.
H
H
B
Yeah,
let
us
follow
up
to
make
sure
that
we
can
get
the
exact
statistics
if
there
were
heat
exhaustion
cases
and
what
had
happened.
We've
been
watching
it
very
carefully
and
again.
The
heat
emergency
declaration
makes
it
so
that
we
are
specifically
preparing
and
being
proactive
about
those
resources.
Activating
communications
with
residents
and
deploying
cooling,
misting
heat
resilience
measures
all
throughout
our
neighborhoods.
We
did
host
our
second
of
three
large
scale:
open
streets
events.
B
It
was
on
blue
hill,
lab
between
grove
hall
and
nubian
square,
and
that
was
during
one
of
the
days
of
the
heat
emergency.
So
we
had
said
this
would
be
rain
or
shine
or
100
degrees,
very
hot.
We
had
water
stations
along
the
route,
lots
of
small
businesses
and
residents
pitching
in
and
and
that
went
very,
very
smoothly.
We
saw
a
great
turnout,
performances,
artists,
people
enjoying
that
public
space,
and
that
is
another
mitigation
measure
too.
B
If
we
can
create
activities
for
people
to
come
out
of
their
homes
where
they
might
not
have
air
conditioning,
they
might
be
at
higher
risk
and
be
in
the
shade,
be
in
a
park.
Be
one
near
one
of
our
cooling
centers,
that
that
is
something
that
we're
actively
trying
to
increase
access
to.
I
A
B
No,
the
senator
and
congresswoman
presley
have
been
such
champions
for
removing
every
possible
barrier
to
public
transit.
We
know
that,
just
like
massachusetts
and
boston's
legacy
on
investing
in
the
public
goods
that
we
take
for
granted
today,
public
education,
public
parks
and
open
space,
public
libraries,
public
transportation
is
another
one
of
those
cornerstones
that
underlie
everything
and
the
more
people
ride.
B
The
legislation
that
another
bit
of
legislation,
maybe
that
could
be
for
that,
could
be.
For
oliver's
first
day
the
senator
and
the
congresswoman
have
filed
the
freedom
to
move
act
which
would
generate
billions
of
dollars
for
public
transit
agencies
to
to
be
incentivized
for
fair
free
access.
That
would
be
transformational,
and
what
we
do
know
in
this
shutdown
is
that
the
shuttle
buses
will
be
entirely
free,
so
residents
will
not
be
penalized
for
using
those
commuter.
B
Rail
will
essentially
be
free
as
well,
because
you
would
just
need
to
to
show
an
mbta
charlie
card,
but
not
be
charged.
The
commuter
rail
fee
for
any
getting
on
any
station
in
the
boston
area
and
ending
zone
1a
zone
1
or
zone
2
commuter
rail
station,
so,
for
example,
from
forest
hills
to
back
bay
or
from
forest
hills
to
ruggles
or
south
station.
There
will
be
twice
as
many
trains
stopping
at
forest
hills,
commuter
rail
trains,
stopping
at
forest
hills
to
take
commuters
there
as
well
downtown
as
well.
B
A
And
again,
to
put
an
exclamation
point
on
your
question
in
june
of
2020
congresswoman
presley
and
I
had
a
press
conference
on
our
legislation
in
mattapan,
and
then
council
of
wu
came
to
our
press
conference
to
speak
about
the
need
for
free
fares,
especially
in
poorer
communities,
and
for
those
who
needed
it
the
most.
So
this
is
almost
you
know.
Sometimes
you
can
be
right,
but
too
soon,
but
what's
what's
very
apparent
now
because
of
the
orange
line
and
the
green
line
is
that
we
need
to
do
something
about
this
system.
