A
A
The
council,
we
we
have
a
great
relationship
with
all
of
the
the
people
here,
Alicia
and
Jim,
and
so
many
other
people
in
fennekin.
We
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
them.
I
see
some
very
special
friends
here:
Finola
Quinlan,
the
Irish
Council
general
here
in
Boston.
She
was
on
a
maternity
leave
and
she's
back,
and
we
want
to
welcome
her
back.
A
She
does
a
fantastic
job
on
behalf
of
her
country,
J
ash,
who
was
just
appointed
the
Massachusetts
competitive
partnership,
a
very,
very
good
appointment
for
a
very,
very
good
man
who
will
do
an
outstanding
job,
and
we
wish
him
much.
Success.
I
see
distinguished
gentleman
from
the
labor
movement,
probably
the
most
popular
labor
leader
in
Greater
Boston,
and
that
is
Harry
Breck.
Who
is
the
business
manager
of
local
12
and
his
motto
is
when
he
meets
with
a
developer.
He
just
says
you
want
to
go
the
easy
way.
A
You
want
to
go
the
hard
way,
that's
Harry
Harry
Brett,
and
there
was
just
so
many
other
Dan
Conley
farmer.
District
attorney
here
in
Suffolk
County
is
is
here
for
the
first
time
and
he's
with
men's
Levin
and
a
very
good
man
and
did
an
outstanding
job
and
a
very
distinguished
public
servant,
and
now
a
very
distinguished
private
citizen,
I.
We
have
a
couple
events
coming
up,
I
know
it's
it's
it's
a
tight
schedule,
but
if
I
could
just
say
quickly
on
Monday,
we
have
so
many
politics
and
eggs
events.
You
know
this.
A
Past
week,
farmer
mayor's
New
York
City
spoke
Michael
Bloomberg
on
Monday
we're
going
to
hear
from
the
new
chairman
of
the
Intelligence
Committee
and
Congress
Adam
Schiff
will
be

We
have
congressman
farmer
congressman
from
Maryland
John
Delaney

be

on
February

rown
distinguished
governor
from
the
base

Well,
we'll
be

little

then

and

A

and
then
we

Congressman

and
then
we're

the
month
of
February.
By
going
back
to
Washington
with
a
capital
conversation
with
congressman
bill
Keating,
so
it's
going
to
be
a
very
busy
time
to
say
the
least.
We
hope
that
many
of
you
join
us
in
Washington
for
our
annual
event
on
May,
8th
and
9th.
It's
going
to
be
a
fabulous
event.
We
have
five
new
members
of
Congress
from
New
England.
A
You
need
to
get
to
know
them
and
they'll
all
be
there.
Speaking
at
our
events
and
I
think
you're
going
to
enjoy,
but
today
I
think
for
the
purposes
of
introducing
our
keynote
speaker
and
somebody
who
wants
to
make
a
little
announcement
too,
and
that
is
me.
Hall
Chamberlain,
who
want
from
on
behalf
of
the
bank,
is
going
to
say
a
few
words
and
then
introduce
our
very
special
friend,
so
Miho.
B
Thank
you
Jim,
and
thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
New
England
Council.
It's
always
a
pleasure
toast
you
here
at
Bank
of
America
and
this
morning,
I
have
the
honor
of
introducing
our
special
guest
speaker,
the
mayor,
Boston
Marty,
J
Walsh
sworn
in
office
in
2014
and
reelected
in
2018.
Mayor
Walsh
is
a
lifelong
champion
of
the
working
people
and
a
proud
product
of
Boston
himself
since
taking
office.
B
He
has
made
tremendous
strides
and
not
only
fueling,
Boston's
growth,
but
doing
so
in
an
inclusive
way
that
provides
opportunity
for
everyone
to
participate
in
our
region's
economic
success.
Often
when
I'm
called
upon
to
introduce
a
guest
speaker,
I
run
through
a
list
of
their
accomplishments
and
their
priorities
and
with
Mayor
Walsh.
It's
easy
to
do
that
because
he
has
a
long
list
of
accomplishments
and
his
vision
and
his
priorities
are
clear.
B
But
today
I
want
to
take
a
different
route
and
talk
about
talk
for
a
minute
here
about
what
kind
of
a
leader
mayor
Walsh
is,
in
short,
he's
a
trusted
partner,
not
only
for
all
of
us
here
at
the
bank,
but
across
all
sectors
in
business
and
in
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city.
He
listens,
he's
respectful
of
everyone's
ideas,
he's
curious,
he's
bright,
he's
truthful,
and
we
know
he
sure
is
passionate.
B
Those
are
qualities
that
make
Marty
Walsh
an
extraordinary
leader,
and
it
helps
explain
why
all
of
us
are
here
this
morning
to
hear
him
speak
and
why
we
at
the
bank
are
so
proud
to
host
him.
Mayor
Walsh
said
before
his
second
inauguration
that
he
was
not
going
to
host
a
big
party
or
inaugural
ball.
Instead,
he
want
to
use
the
occasion
to
raise
money
for
Boston's
homeless
and
that's
the
kind
of
leader
Marty
Walsh
is
and
that's
how
Boston's
way
home
fund
became
a
reality.
B
He
set
a
goal
of
raising
ten
million
dollars
over
four
years
to
create
200
units
of
permanent
and
supportive
housing
for
Boston's
chronically
homeless
in
his
State
of
the
City
address
this
month.
The
mayor
announced
that
in
just
one
year
the
fund
had
raised
five
million
dollars
and
he
called
upon
all
of
us
to
help
it
helped
take
it
the
rest
of
the
way
Bank
America
was
honored
to
cede
that
fund
with
a
quarter
million
dollars
when
it
was
founded
in
January
of
last
year
and
in
short
order.
B
Our
region's
finest
corporate
citizens,
Liberty
Mutual,
Partners
and
Suffolk,
among
others,
stepped
up
with
major
pledges.
We
share
the
commitment
of
the
mayor
to
end
homelessness
here
in
Boston,
in
collaboration
with
Lindy,
a
downy
and
the
tremendous
people
that
work
at
Pine,
Street
Inn
and
on
that
note
before
I
hand
it
over
the
mayor,
I
like
to
announce
that
this
morning,
Bank
of
America
is
going
to
contribute
another
seven
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
Boston's
way
home.
B
C
Thank
You
me
Hall
and
I,
don't
know
where
to
start
I
had
a
different
stock.
For
my
speech,
let
me
just
let
me
start
by
thanking
you
for
your
friendship.
You
know,
assumes
his
role
right
right
after
I
assume
this
role
and
and
his
his
team
here
is
absolutely
incredible
and
he's
been
a
great
partner
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
for
your
donation.
Today.
Last
night
we
did
the
homeless
census
count.
Linh
dia
was
the
air
and
some
other
folks.
C
Are
they
a
bunch
of
people
were
there
and
it
was
probably
8
degrees
outside,
and
we
sat
at
City
Hall,
where
we
had
about
300
volunteers,
Rachel
Rawlings
was
there
pita
contusion
was
there?
There
was
some
city
councilors
there
and
we
started
walking
down
from
City
Hall
down
to
Downtown
Crossing
and,
as
we
walked
down
Washington
Street
towards
towards
the
money
in
building.
We
didn't
really
see
anybody.
No
one
was
out
and
then
we
we
took
a
left
and
we
started
this
and
went
down
the
stations
we
started
to
see
people.
C
We
started
to
talk
to
them.
So
our
kid
that
person-
that's
a
heroin
addict
sitting-
downstairs
at
Downtown
Crossing
station,
with
just
a
very
light
jacket
on
in
telling
me
that
you
know
he
hasn't
used
in
awhile,
kazi's
and
he's
taking
the
vivitrol
shot
and
we
were
able
to
try
and
convince
him
to
go
into
into
shelter.
C
We
walked
further
down
some
the
street
and
we
saw
a
couple
of
girl
and
boy
kind
of
woman,
probably
in
their
thirties,
sleeping
in
a
doorway
under
blankets.
They
didn't
want
to
go
in.
They
wanted
to
stay
on
the
street
in
trying
to
convince
them
on
why
they
should
go
in
and
then
Pine
Street
was
out
in
the
street
and
Prentiss.
She
was
able
to
make
sure
all
night
long
that
check
and
checking
these
folks
that
wouldn't
come
in.
C
C
As
far
as
moving
forward
I
said
this
before
when
Long
Island
Bridge
closed,
it
was
a
tough
day
for
me
to
figure
out
what
we're
gonna
do
to
move
forward.
We
we
sheltered
homeless
people
prior
to
that
no
offense
to
the
city,
I'm,
not
criticizing
the
city
or
anyone,
but
we
shelter,
people
and
I-
remember
Lynn,
dia
and
Amy
coming
in
my
office
or
as
a
state
Rep,
and
they
would
talk
about.
C
They
would
talk
about
homelessness
and
homelessness
and
at
the
state
level
we
try
and
push
and
push
and
push,
and
we
realized
that
we're
doing
it.
We're
not
doing
it
quite
the
way
we
should
be
doing
it,
so
we
kind
of
throw
out
the
PlayBook
and
start
it
over,
and
we
had
people
come
in
my
office
and
we
started
talking
about
how
do
we
deal
with
homelessness,
because
what
we
were
doing
is
picking
them
up
at
the
end
of
the
night.
He
put
him
on
a
bus.
Take
him
up.
Long
Island,
put
him
out
there.
C
C
You
gotta
put
him
somewhere
else
and
they
put
him
on
the
south
end
and
people
go
crazy
and
then
it's
a
downtown
cross
and
people
go
crazy
and
what
we're
doing
is
literally
warehousing
people,
that's
what
we're
doing,
but
what
we
started
to
do
in
2014.
It's
really
think
about
a
plan
and
from
that
date
of
today,
we've
housed
over
1,600
people,
that's
4,000
years
of
homelessness
that
are
people
living
in
homes,
but
there
are
still
more
people
on
the
streets.
C
So
bosses
way
home
fund
is
a
fund
that
is
privately
raised
to
build
supportive
housing,
200
units
which
we're
going
to
do
with
Pine
Street
in
and
I'm,
when
I'm
done
with
the
$10,000,000
I'm
gonna
raise
more
money
somewhere
else,
because
we
have
to
do
this.
It's
our
obligation,
it's
not
about
hiding
people
in
a
tent.
It's
not
about
hiding
people
in
the
building,
it's
about
making
sure
they
get
a
chance
to
get
on
their
feet.
C
So
that's
what
that's
what
this
is
all
about,
and
that's
what
this
donation
today
helps
us
towards.
So
thank
you
me
Hall!
Thank
you,
Bank
of
America!
Thank
you!
Everyone
here,
Thank
You,
Pine
Street
as
well,
and
all
the
other
organizations
and
I'll
shut
you
all
in
a
minute.
I
wonder
well.
I
want
to
thank
I,
want
to
thank
the
Inland
Consul
I
want
to
thank
Jim
Brett.
C
C
You
know
one
thing
about
Jim
that
I
have
to
announce
today
that
I
feel
really
bad
for
him.
That
he's
never
been
quite
recognized
for
all
the
work
he's
done
so
tonight.
In
case
you
don't
know
the
Boston
Police
Foundation
is
giving
the
civilian
award.
So
if
anyone
just
you
know,
congratulations
on
that
awards,
you
really
appreciate
it.
C
You
know
father
Tom's
back
there
from
st.
Anthony's
would
walk
by
saying
in
TS
last
night,
father
Tom,
Tom
seen
anything
said
some
incredible
work
as
well
with
homelessness
and
with
folks
and
with
people
last
night
I
was
walking
around.
Let
me
just
tell
you
one
quick
story:
I'm
completely
off
script,
but
when
I
was
a
kid
growing
up,
we
would
go
in
town,
my
my
little
shop
and
we'll
go
down
to
Downtown
Crossing,
we'll
go
to
Jordan
watch
the
filings
and
everyone
that
lives
in
Boston
or
around
Boston.
C
You
did
the
same
thing
with
your
parents
or
your
mother
or
father,
and
every
time
we
went
in
town
we'd
have
to
stop
at
st.
Anthony's
every
single
time,
with
light
a
candle
say,
a
prayer,
and
that
was
what
we
did.
There
was
a
gentleman
that
used
to
sit
on
a
stoop
in
front
of
st.
Anthony's.
I
must
have
been
on
how
old
I
was
maybe
10
11
years
old,
he
was
homeless
and
he
sat
every
single
day.
Every
time
I
lit
in
town.
He
was
there.
He
had
doc
here.
C
He
had
these
kind
of
bulging
eyes
because
of
alcohol
and
he
was
there
and
doing
things
and
you
think
about
how
life
goes
and
opportunities
and
I
don't
know
what
what
this
man
had
an
opportunity
for,
but
I
was
at
a
meeting
one
night,
a
meeting
one
night
and
a
guy
got
up
at
the
podium.
He
sat
talking
and
he's
talking
about
all
these
homeless
for
years,
in
the
streets
of
Boston
and
and
about
how
his
life
gets
over
and
it's
like
turned
around.
C
He
has
a
job
today,
an
apartment,
all
the
stuff
talking
and
I
went
over
to
him
and
went
up
to
my
stick.
Why
do
you
look
familiar
I,
said
I
said
by
any
chance
and
I
was
at
the
time
I
was
in
my
30s.
Is
there
any
chance
you,
you
used
to
kind
of
hang
out
at
a
time
seen
anything
shrine.
He
goes
yeah.
The
second
door
was
my
stoop
and
you
think
about.
He
was
on
the
streets
for
about
35
years
in
Boston.
C
So
when
you
think
about
the
opportunity
for
entry
into
recovery
and
help,
it
is
people
like
from
the
trauma.
It's
people
like
Pine,
Street
and
again
some
of
the
great
organizations
in
here.
So
thank
you
we're
in
interesting
times
in
Boston,
not
in
our
city,
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
how
great
the
city's
going
in
a
minute,
but
with
the
federal
government
with
the
shutdown
that
was
closed
last
month.
Yeah,
you
know,
I
want
to
people
to
don't
either
think
about.
C
That's
been
consider
that
the
contract
for
a
moment
on
one
hand
we're
here
this
morning,
the
public
sector,
the
private
sector,
nonprofit
sector,
working
together
to
end
homelessness
and
be
able
to
talk
about
how
what
we're
doing
in
the
gains
that
were
making.
On
the
other
hand,
the
conversations
that
are
in
Washington
is
is,
is
stuck
on
on
campaign
rhetoric
about
building
a
wall,
it's
all
about
building
a
wall
and
not
moving
our
country
forward.
The
shutdown
that
we
just
that
just
ended,
lasted
35
days.
It
was
the
longest,
as
you
know,
on
record.
C
It
cost
the
American
economy,
11
billion
dollars
in
GDP.
According
to
the
Congressional
Budget
Office,
we
felt
it
here
in
Boston,
11,000
federal
employees,
work
for
the
in
this
work
in
the
city.
2000
work
for
agencies
that
were
closed,
many
of
the
contract
workers,
including
security
guards,
custodians
and
food
service
as
well.
That's
on
top
of
the
the
2,000
employees,
thousands
of
families,
hundreds
of
thousands
of
families
across
the
country
didn't
get
a
paycheck.
They
were
struggling
to
pay
their
rent,
their
mortgages,
their
bills
experiencing
stress
uncertainty,
but
it
was.
C
We
were
talking
about,
creating
some
sort
of
food
pantry
for
the
people
that
work
at
TSA,
but
we
took
it
one
step
further.
We
have
about
13,000
people
that
have
housing
vouchers
in
the
city
of
Boston
those
vouchers
weren't
going
to
be
paid.
So
we
were
thinking
what
we
do,
because
landlords
aren't
gonna
be
letting
people
stay
in
their
homes
if
they
can't
pay.
What
do
we
do?
Is
there
an
opportunity?
Do
we
can
we
access
some
funds
in
the
city?
Boston?
Can
we
access
our
rainy
day
fund?
C
Can
we
do
this
to
pay
that
food
stamps
the
bills
weren't
going
to
be
paid?
They
weren't
going
to
be
renewed,
so
the
ATM
machine
was
empty
and
there
was
no
opportunity
for
an
investment,
a
deposit.
So
if
people
that
were
dependent
upon
food
stamps
and
food
programs,
they
weren't
happening
contracts
in
our
schools
and
other
places,
they
were
going
to
not
be
paid
as
well
and
we
were
gonna
have
to
decide.
Do
we
just
end
these
programs
and
let
them
go
by
the
wayside,
or
what
do
we
do?
C
It
didn't
go
on
for
a
week,
it
ended,
but
it's
not
over
because
week
one
is
today.
Last
week
one
was
I
think
is
now
week.
Two
is
in
two
more
weeks
and
weeks
for
week.
Four
means
another
shutdown
in
seven
weeks
or
six
weeks
from
today.
Those
conversations
that
I
have
we're
gonna
have
with
Dave
Sweeney
I'm
gonna
have
to
happen,
and
what
are
we
gonna
do?
There
are
millions
and
millions
and
millions
and
millions
of
Americans
all
over
the
United
States
of
America
that
are
affected
by
the
shutdown.
C
Now,
maybe
most
of
us
in
this
room
unaffected
might
direct
deposit
was
in
my
bank.
Everything
that
I
had
was
working.
I
was
watching
on
TV
seen
it
was
going
on,
but
there
are
people
that
are
affected
by
the
people.
That
I
saw
last
night
on
the
streets
of
Boston.
That
don't
have
the
same
means
that
all
of
us
have
are
affected
by
this
shutdown.
C
C
The
opportunity
with
these
conversations
have
been
happening
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
has
been
causing
problems,
but
the
opportunity
costs
have
been
growing
for
two
years.
We
are
paying
the
American
people
are
paying
for.
What's
not
moving
forward
in
America,
not
just
our
international
relations,
but
here
in
here
in
America,
the
good
news
is
I
was
down
in
Washington
last
week
and
the
US
Conference
of
Mayors.
We
had
a
conference.
C
I
came
away
feeling
pretty
good,
because
we
have
a
bipartisan
group
amiss
in
Washington,
quite
honestly,
I'm
sitting
in
meetings
with
me,
as
I
neva
know,
if
the
Democrats
Republicans,
because
that's
not
the
question,
we
asked
each
other,
because
the
challenges
that
we're
facing
are
the
same
challenges
that
we
all
face.
We're
facing
challenges
on
housing
will
change
facing
challenges
on
economic
opportunities
or
facing
challenges
on
inequality
or
facing
challenges
on
poverty
which
facing
challenges
on
moving
our
city
forward.
C
They
can't
tell
you
there's
a
policy
on
the
climate,
because
there
isn't
one
we're
better
than
that
as
a
country
and
on
delegations
across
the
country
are
better
than
that
as
well.
And
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
the
conference
is
push
some
of
the
some
of
the
federal
folks
to
stop
focusing
on
what's
important,
I
chaired
a
panel
on
job
training
in
for
people
in
recovery,
and
we
had
mayor's
that
we
talked
about
the
elderly
and
we
talked
about
how
do
we
move
our
economy
forward
and
right
now,
in
this
time
in
our
country?
C
There
were
very
many
positive
conversations,
a
lot
of
great
shared
ideas.
We
listened
and
we
learned
from
each
other
best
practices,
and
that
is
why
I
think
today
that
cities
are
leading
in
the
United
States
of
America
and
that's
why
I
think
we
need
to
continue
to
lead
and
Boston
is
one
of
those
leaders
in
the
United
States,
marek
I
said
it
at
my
state
of
the
city
the
other
day.
But
it's
true.
C
If
you
ask
any
city
in
America-
and
you
say,
give
me
four
cities
that
you
want
to
kind
of
be
that
I'm,
the
boss
is
one
of
the
ones
are
going
to
point
to
why?
Because
of
the
people
in
this
room?
Why?
Because
of
our
political
atmosphere?
Why?
Because
we're
making
investments
historic
investments
in
places
that
haven't
been
made
before?
Why?
Because
our
congressional
delegation,
quite
honestly,
is
probably
one
of
the
most
effective,
powerful
delegations.
C
We
have
right
now
that
we've
had
since
I
said
this
not
too
long
ago,
the
days
of
Tip
O'neill
and
Ted
Kennedy
and
Joe
Moakley
with
the
folks
that
are
in
office.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
move
up,
not
just
Massachusetts
forward
but
move
our
country
forward,
we're
working
to
bring
you
back
to
Boston.
This
one
give
you
a
few
stats
in
Boston
one
of
the
things
that
that
we're
looking
the
biggest
challenges
we
have
couple
is
housing.
C
The
final
numbers
for
2018
are
in
it's
one
of
the
biggest
years
we've
ever
had
in
housing.
We
permitted
over
4200
units
of
new
homes
in
the
city
of
Boston.
That
brings
the
total
of
new
homes
built
under
our
housing
plan.
In
the
last
five
years,
29,000
new
units
of
housing
in
the
city
of
Boston
we're
ahead
of
pace.
Our
goal
is
to
we
took
a
goal.
Last
year
we
raised
that
goal
from
53,000
to
69
thousand
units
in
new
housing.
Why?
C
Because
many
of
the
employees
in
this
room,
you
hire
people
there
millenials
they're
from
other
places.
They
want
to
live
in
Boston
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
give
them
the
opportunity
to
stay
in
our
city.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
give
an
opportunity
for
the
people
that
grow
up
in
our
city
and
live
in
our
city
to
stay
in
our
city
and
not
price
them
out
of
our
city.
C
So
we
have
to
increase
the
housing
stock
so
that
you
can
continue
to
recruit
great
talent
to
our
city
and
we
can
continue
to
make
sure
they
have
the
opportunity
live
in
Boston.
We
also
working
to
create
more
affordable
housing
in
Boston.
Our
city
wide
ratio
is
one
in
five
income
restricted
units,
it's
the
highest
United
States
of
America,
which
means
that
poor
people
have
an
opportunity
to
live
in
the
City
of
Austin
economic
development.
Last
year
we
saw
a
six
point:
nine
billion
dollars
worth
of
new
approvals.
C
Last
year
since
I've
taken
office,
we've
approved
over
28
billion
dollars
of
investment,
56
million
square
feet
of
new
construction,
it's
the
biggest
building
boom
in
the
city
of
Boston's
history
and
over
12
billion
dollars.
Right
now,
today,
this
morning
we
walk
got
bo-kaap
is
under
construction.
In
our
city
we
have
broken
new
brown,
new
grounds
and
new
investments
to
make
sure
that
we
share
opportunities
more
widely
I've
mentioned,
we've
mentioned
affordable
housing,
but
we're
using
development
to
drive
that
we
sat
down.
We
raised
the
inclusionary
development
and
we
sat
down.
C
C
C
We
need
the
money
of
the
investments
and
people
did
it
by
having
dialogues
and
conversations
we're
investing
in
winter
square,
garment
of
square
garage,
the
proceeds
of
winter
square,
we're
investing
28
million
dollars
in
Boston
Common
we're
investing
28
million
dollars
in
Franklin
Park
we're
investing
in
public
housing
throughout
the
entire
city
of
Boston
to
make
sure
that
this
is
one-time
payment
that
we're
making
investments
in
our
public
assets.
So
people
can
see
the
benefits
of
what
we're
doing
here
in
the
city.
C
C
The
Seaport
and
they're
gonna
be
putting
in
a
couple
thousand
jobs
and
we're
working
with
them
to
make
sure
that
the
funds
from
the
job
training
on
that
project
are
going
to
go
into
making
sure
that
people
get
trained,
so
they
get
good-paying
jobs
and
we're
gonna
be
working
with
a
lot
of
you
here.
Our
city
is
safer.
Today.
Last
year,
crime
went
down
for
the
fifth
straight
year
in
a
row,
total
drop
over
five
years,
25%
drop
in
violent
crime.
C
Our
arrests
are
down
by
25%
as
well
we're
walking
fewer
people
up
because
we're
working
differently
then
calmly
sentence
edn
by
no
dance.
Here
we
work
with
the
ends
office
when
he
was
the
DA
to
have
different
philosophies.
Din
Dan
was
working
what
he
was
doing
in
his
office.
We
were
working
in
our
office
coming
together,
saying:
okay,
let's
try
and
put
each
other
out
of
business
here.
C
We're
gonna,
hopefully
continue
that
relationship
with
Rachel
Rawlings
I
know
we
will
we're
gonna
keep
that
relationship
going,
but
it's
important
to
understand
that
the
job
isn't
just
to
arrest
and
prosecute
the
job
is
actually
to
try
and
help
get
people
back
on
their
feet.
We're
making
progress
on
climate
change.
We
have
a
plan
for
as
a
Inaba
plan
you
saw
it.
C
I
talked
about
it,
the
chamber
of
commerce,
about
building
a
space,
to
draw
up
the
whole
city
of
Boston
to
make
sure
that
sea-level
rise
rises,
we're
protecting
our
shoreline,
we're
also
connecting
people
to
the
waterfront
by
creating
green
space
on
where
that
that
is
something
that
is
really
important,
but
we're
still
waiting
for
a
federal
infrastructure
plan,
we're
still
making
making
record
investments
in
our
streets
and
sidewalks
and
bridges.
But
we
need
that
help
financially
we're
a
strong
city
for
five
consecutive
years.
We
have
a
triple-a
bond
rating.
C
I
can't
stress
that
enough,
because
the
importance
of
that
is
in
a
bad
economy
by
having
a
strong
bond
ability,
helps
the
city
of
Boston,
we're
mandated
by
the
state
to
have
a
fully
funded
pension
liability
by
the
year
2040
right
now.
Boston
is
on
pace
to
have
that
fund,
fully
funded
by
2025,
far
ahead
of
anyone
else
in
the
Commonwealth,
maybe
even
in
the
country
again
puts
Boston
in
a
very
strong
position
for
the
future.
C
Our
unemployment
rates
for
December
at
2.3
percent,
the
lowest
ever
recorded
so
I,
think
you
get
the
message
inside
City
Hall
we're
working
to
continue.
Diversifying
the
workforce
continue
to
make
sure
that
we're
working
to
have
better
policies
in
City
Hall
to
make
sure
that
women
and
people
of
color
and
veterans
have
access
to
city
contracts.
We
changed
that
a
couple
years
ago,
where
veterans
weren't
part
of
the
equation
there
and
we
lose
women,
people
color,
and
we
put
veterans
on
there
to
make
sure
the
veterans
that
fight
for
our
country
and
come
home.
C
They
have
an
opportunity
to
get
on
to
some
of
these
city
contracts
as
well
we're
working
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
more
inclusive
City.
Yesterday
I
signed
an
executive
order
promoting
racial
equity
in
city
agencies.
It's
not
about
you
it's
about
internally,
because
if
I
stand
up
here
and
ask
you
to
diversify
your
boards
and
create
opportunities
and
pay
equal
pay,
which
I
shouldn't
have
to
do
anymore,
making
sure
that
women
have
access
to
your
boards.
C
They
shouldn't
have
to
do
that
anymore,
making
sure
that
you
look
at
promoting
people
of
color
within
your
organization's.
I
shouldn't
have
to
do
that
anymore,
but
the
fact
that
I'm
we
have
to
do
it
with
internally
first,
but
because
I
can't
say
to
you
what
I'd
like
to
see
happen
in
our
city
to
make
sure
we
create
opportunities
for
everybody,
I
focus
on
legislation.
C
We
file
a
bill
regarding
liquor
licenses,
particularly
in
our
neighborhoods,
for
small
businesses,
to
create
opportunities
in
equity
and
equity
opportunity
in
our
neighborhoods
and
working
in
TOR,
with
our
Main
Street
programs
to
strengthen
our
Main
Street
programs
to
strengthen
our
small
businesses.
Again,
many
of
you
support
our
Main
Street
programs.
Bank
of
America
is
one
of
the
main
sponsors.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
build
up
equity
in
our
communities.
C
We're
working
on
education,
ride-sharing
them
and
come
back
to
education,
a
second
ride
sharing
we
had
a
conversation.
You
saw
the
comment
that
the
report
came
out
yesterday
about
climate
and
in
there
there's
a
$5
proposed
fee
I.
Think
it's
like
a
trend.
I
know
it's
called
I,
don't
know
how
it
got
in
there,
but
get
in
there
I'm,
not
supportive
of
that.
C
My
support
today,
I,
don't
know
how
it
works
there,
how
it
works
in
in
England,
but
I'm
not
supported
today,
but
where
I
am
supportive
is
filing
legislate,
which
we
did
file
legislation
that
uber
and
lyft.
If
they're
gonna
drive
people
around
with
one
person
in
the
car
all
day,
long
AG
on
the
streets
that
ride
should
cost
more
than
cost
sharing
in
the
dot.
We're
gonna
add
a
job
to
that
ride,
so
that
that
money
will
go
back
into
opportunities
to
to
put
moment
into
the
environment.
C
Education,
you've
heard
this
conversation
a
million
times
me
and
Menino
stood
at
this
podium
and
talked
about
education.
The
importance
of
education,
Marie
Flynn,
stood
at
this
podium
and
talked
about
the
importance
of
education,
I'm
sure
camera
white
stood
at
this
podium
and
talked
about
the
importance
of
education.
C
We
have
to
pass
legislation
at
the
Statehouse
that
works
for
everybody.
We
can't
pass
legislation,
that's
floating
around
right
now
at
the
Statehouse.
That
does
not
benefit
the
city
of
Boston
does
not
benefit
other
cities
and
towns
across
Massachusetts
Laura
Perella
interim
superintendent
is
here.
There
was
a
story
in
the
paper
the
other
day
that
talked
about
Boston
being
a
rich
city
with
plenty
of
money.
C
We're
doing
well
no
question
about
it,
but
in
the
next
two
years,
if
we
don't
get
a
major
education
funding
shift
we'll
be
paying
the
Commonwealth
for
education
in
the
next
two
years.
Next,
three
years,
next,
four
years
next,
five
years,
there's
a
good
chance
that
there's
gonna
be
a
downturn.
The
economy
it
happens
at
the
legend
is
a
trap.
It
happened
three
times
when
Jim
Brett
was
a
state
Rep.
C
It's
time
for
my
friends
at
the
Statehouse,
including
the
governor,
to
look
at
the
legislation
and
work
together
to
pass
legislation,
not
some
person
sitting
in
the
back
room
saying
what
are
we
going
to
do
with
it?
So
we're
gonna?
Do
it
listen
to
the
cities
and
towns
that
are
dealing
with
it
every
single
day?
C
Listen
to
the
challenges
that
we
have
listen
to
our
budget
people,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
the
ones
who
do
the
work.
The
bill
that
I'm
supporting
and
that's
been
filed
lifts
every
single
city
in
town
in
Massachusetts
up
it
doesn't
pit
Boston,
verse,
someplace
else,
Lowell
versus
someplace
else.
It
doesn't
pitch
suburban,
verse,
urban,
it
doesn't
pit
white
kids,
whereas
black
kids,
it's
a
piece
of
legislation
that
is
really
important,
called
the
promise
act.
C
We
have
57,000
kids
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools.
Many
of
you
were
involved
in
it
just
think
about
the
growth
in
the
city
of
Boston,
the
last
five
years.
Think
about
the
headquarter.
Companies
that
have
moved
into
our
city
think
about
your
own
companies
that
have
expanded,
think
about.
What's
happened
in
our
universities
and
our
hospitals
think
about
what's
happening
in
our
city.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
the
kids
that
go
to
our
schools
have
opportunities
in
the
future.
C
What
we're
doing
today
is
building
a
strong
Boston
for
tomorrow
is
laying
down
the
foundation
to
make
sure
that,
when
we're
not
here,
anyone
I'm
not
the
mayor
anymore
and
other
people
on
here,
we
have
a
strong
foundation
for
our
city
to
move
our
city
forward,
the
way
that
happens
to
education.
The
way
that
happens
is
not
being
politicized,
politicizing
education,
but
actually
sitting
down
and
listening
to
other
people's
ideas,
and
that's
what
we
have
to
do
when
it
comes
to
our
schools.
C
C
C
Who's
helped
us
with
bosses,
way
home
fund
or
principal
for
a
day
program
or
former
Boston
leaders,
business
leaders
like
Bob
Gallery,
who,
who
retired
and
came
back
to
to
chair
the
the
the
Boston
Public
Library
Board,
and
it's
done
an
amazing
job
of
putting
the
putting
the
Boston
Public
Library
on
what
I
wanted
to
be
the
greatest
library
in
the
country.
I
want
to
thank
the
nonprofit's
that
are
here
today.
I
want
to
thank
that
the
the
lobbyists
that
lobbied
for
companies
at
City
Hall
in
the
Statehouse
I,
want
to
thank
the
energy
companies.
C
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
that
are
here
today,
because
truly
it
takes
all
of
us.
I
want
to
talk
to
the
hospitality
industry
for
what
you
do
in
our
city,
because
it's
important
for
us
to
thank
everybody.
If
we're
going
to
continue
to
meet
the
challenges
of
the
21st
century
and
what
we've
seen
so
far,
it's
gonna
take
all
of
us
working
together.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
and
I
also
want
to
thank
Jim
Brett
for
his
leadership
here
at
the
newland
council.
C
He
has
certainly
kept
the
conversation
at
the
forefront
a
bipartisan
conversation
at
the
forefront
not
getting
caught
up
in
the
politics
of
it.
All
and
I
want
to
thank
the
Newland
Council
for
for
doing
something
really
important
for
our
city.
It's
for
elevating
these
conversations
that
we
have
to
have
and
now
I'll
take
a
few
questions.
If
you
haven't.
A
A
A
A
C
No
update
on
it
yet
because,
when
I
announced
it
when
we
talked
about
announced
that
the
government
was
shut
down
last
week,
I
was
in
Washington
for
the
US
Conference
of
Mayors
I.
Believe
the
governor
is
going
down
for
the
Governors
Association
meeting
next
week
and
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
reach
out
and
talk
to
some
other
mayor's
to
put
a
coalition
of
people
down
and
go
down
to
Washington
and
start
to
lobby.
You
know
lobbying,
as
you
know.
C
Most
of
you
should
know
if
you're
lobbying
in
DC
right
now
there's
nothing
to
lobby
everything
shut
down.
There's
no
agenda
no
plan.
The
committees
are
just
being
set
up.
There's
no
bills,
there's
only
no
no
plans
really
as
far
as
moving
forward
they're,
just
finalizing
them,
so
I
would
suggest
sometime
late
spring
early
summer.
We
go
down
there
because
that's
when
we'll
see
the
committee's
up
and
running,
hopefully
the
government
won't
be
shut
down
and
we'll
be
seeing
some
some
legislation
moving
through
the
process.
D
Miha
outlined
such
a
great
list
of
your
qualities
as
a
leader
and
you've
clearly
been
a
master
at
getting
out
your
message
and
providing
a
vision
for
the
city
of
Boston,
and
you
talked
about
this
bipartisan
group
of
Mayors,
which
is
very
reassuring
and
I
think
really
helpful
to
the
cause.
I
wonder
if
I
could
coax
you
into
giving
us
any
nuggets
that
would
come
from
someone
as
accomplished
as
you
are,
as
we
look
ahead
to
the
next
two
years
and
think
about
electing
a
president
in
2020
I.
C
You
know
III
think
that
it's
gonna
be
interesting,
obviously
I
think
in
the
election.
You
know
four
years
two
years
ago,
three
years
ago,
the
Republicans
once
was
the
same
thing.
Whether
it
was
it
was,
you
know,
seven
or
eight
and
nine
people
running
for
president
actually
think
they're
17
at
one
point,
I
think
that
there's
gonna
be
a
wide
range
of
options
to
choose
from
what
we
want
to
see
in
a
leader.
You
know
I
the
people
running
obviously
I
know
a
lot
of
them,
certainly
send
a
warning
or
work
very
well.
C
Sending
here
in
Massachusetts
senator
Harris
had
a
chance
to
meet
centenares
in
a
you
know,
tough
person
I
mean
when
I
say:
tough,
tough
and
fair.
You
know
Vice
President
Biden
has
announced
yet,
but
he's
considering
it
me
a
Pete
from
South
Bend
Indiana
is
in
the
race.
We
have
some
other
folks
that
you
know
I
know
and
I.
Don't
know
them
that.
Well
so,
I
I,
just
think
that
you
know
as
the
next
next
year.
I
don't
think
he'll
be
two
years.
I
think
the
next.
C
The
next
eight
months
will
be
really
interesting
on
the
Democratic
side
to
see
if
who
can
emerge
and
who
can
keep
the
momentum
moving
forward.
I
think
with
that
with
the
media
and
with
social
media,
it
changes
the
dynamics
of
a
presidential
election,
because
every
little
thing
becomes
a
big
story
on
a
whether
it's
a
Twitter
feed
or
a
story.
So
I
just
think
we
have
to
kind
of
ride
through
this
and
see
it
we'll
see.
C
What's
moving
forward,
I
feel
I
like
a
lot
of
the
candidates
running
president
and
I
certainly
could
could
live
with
any
of
them.
I
think
the
interesting
thing
will
be.
Is
there
gonna
be
a
Republican?
That's
going
to
challenge
Donald
Trump
on
the
Republican
side
and
I
think
that
you
know
I
think
over
the
course.
The
next
eight
months
is
gonna
be
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
all
of
us
as
Americans
to
really
think
about
what
direction
we
want
the
country
to
go
in
and
I
think
that
that's
going
to
be
really
important.
C
That
I
hope
that
this
presidential
election
is
about
the
issues
and
not
personalities.
I
hope
that
this
presidential
election
is
about
vision
for
the
future
of
the
country
and
not
about
whatever,
whatever
they
talk
about.
That's
really
what
we
need
right
now
in
this
time
in
this
country,
not
just
from
me
person
I,
think
we
need
to
change.
It's
not
just
about
a
change.
It's
about
a
change
with
vision,
not
just
a
change
with
a
slogan.
E
Ronnie
Miller
from
the
Irish
international
immigrant
Center
mayor
thanks
so
much
for
all
of
your
leadership
and
how
much
you
genuinely
care
for
all
residents
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
another
area
where
you've
really
shown
tremendous
leadership
is
with
immigration
and
immigrants
and
I'd
love
you
to
speak
just
a
bit
about
you
know.
You
see
the
value
in
the
role
of
immigrants
in
the
city
of
Boston.
C
Yeah
Thank
You,
Ronnie
immigrants,
I
mean
immigrants.
The
role
and
value
of
immigrants
across
the
United
States
of
America
are
important
when,
when,
when
Trump
did
the
band
I
was
down
in
Washington,
not
too
long
after
that,
with
the
US
Conference
of
Mayors
and
mayor
Tate,
from
Allen
in
Haines,
California
Republican
was
very
concerned
about
the
the
ban
on
immigration,
because
a
lot
of
his
service
workers
are
immigrants.
C
The
mayor
from
from
Mesa
Arizona
is
Republican,
was
very
concerned
about
the
ban
on
immigrants
and
I.
Think
that,
let
me
just
back
up
I
think
the
country
needs
immigration
reform.
We
have
13
million
immigrants
in
America
that
we
know
of
that
are
undocumented,
and
we
have
to
figure
out
what
to
do
with
the
13
million
people,
and
we
have
to
create
opportunities
for
pathways
to
citizenship,
those
people
that
are
living
legally
and
doing
what
working
and
doing
what
they're
doing.
We
have
to
create
pathways
for
citizenship.
C
We
also
have
to
figure
out
what
do
we
do
with
new
immigrants
coming
into
the
country,
because
America
needs
immigrants,
because
we
have
more
jobs
than
people,
and
we
also
have
to
look
at
our
college
universities
where
we're
educating
people
are
coming
from
other
parts
of
the
world
to
get
educated
in
Boston
when
they
get
educated.
What
saying
you
have
to
go
home
now,
so
we're
losing
bright
people
that
are
coming
into
this
country
to
be
educated?
C
There
are
companies,
tech
companies
and
biotech
companies
and
other
companies
that
would
love
to
bring
people
from
India
and
China
to
work
here
in
the
end
States
of
America,
because,
though,
but
the
work
visa
is
not
long
enough,
we
need
to
think
about
as
a
country
who
we
are
and
start
getting
into
the
whole
conversation
that
immigrants
are
bad
and
they're
criminals.
It's
not
about
that.
C
It's
about
how
do
we
truly
have
immigration
reform
and
that
has
not
come
up
once
throughout
this
whole
conversation
about
border
security
and
border
walls
and
all
this
other
stuff,
you
can
build
all
the
security
you
want.
You
can
build
all
the
walls
you
want,
but
we
still
need
to
deal
with
immigration
as
a
country
and
what's
our
policy
on
that
and
there's
many
different
levels
of
immigration,
I
think
that
we
have
to
do
but
immigrants
add
a
big
value
in
Boston
Massachusetts.
We
have
about
700,000
people
that
live
in
our
city.
C
Twenty-Eight
percent
of
them
were
born
in
another
country.
48%
of
them
are
first-generation
like
I
am
like
Jim.
Brett
is
like
a
lot
of
you
in
this
room
are
I
just
went
through
some
numbers
biggest
building
boom
in
history,
city
of
Boston,
building,
more
housing,
the
period
of
history
of
our
city,
triple
a
bond
rating
paying
down
pension
liability.
Twenty
five
percent
reduction
in
crime,
25%
reduction
in
arrests,
Boston,
is
doing
pretty
good
in
twenty.
Eight
percent
of
the
people
live
in
our
city
were
born
somewhere
else.
C
F
F
Come
on
man,
yeah,
rashon,
Mayan
Constitution
was
a
man
and
a
Boston
public
school
parent,
I.
Think
he's
just
here
for
folks
about
sort
of
your
thoughts
about
the
chapter
set,
the
current
state
at
chapter,
17
funding
and
in
railey
your
thoughts
about
how
it
really
should
work
and
how
that
would
help.
You
know
the
city
and
also
just
maybe
some
thoughts
on
the
true
either
challenge
of
cost
of
what
it
would
of
whatever
what
it
would
take
to.
You
know
to
improve
the
infrastructure
of
the
BPS.
C
A
big
question,
the
funding
piece,
the
chapter
70,
is
a
formula
that
is
very
complicated
in
quite
honestly,
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
sit
here
and
tell
you
the
whole
formula
complication,
because
it
takes
wait,
the
students
it
takes
the
value
of
a
city,
how
much
the
city
has
and
investments
and
how
much
they
owe
which
they
are
and
I'll
pour
they
out.
But
I
know
today.
C
C
If
and
we
see
the
charter
school
reimbursement
rate,
which
used
to
be
fully
funded
by
the
state
up
until
2013,
that
every
single
dollar
out
of
schools
was
funded
by
through
came
to
the
state
budget
appropriation
and
since
that
time,
that
number
for
the
cities
and
towns
has
gone
down,
which
means
that
our
costs
to
fully
fund
charter
schools
has
gone
up.
So
we
are
paying
in
Boston
I.
C
Think
this
year
we're
gonna
pay
19
million
dollars
out
of
our
fund
to
fully
fund
charter
schools
when
that
obligation
really
depends
should
have
been
on
the
state.
The
reason
why
I
changed
I
was
a
rep
at
the
time
when
it
happened
is
that
the
economy
was
going
down
and
there
was
shifting
money
around
so
they
shifted
some
of
the
burden
over
to
the
cities
and
towns.
Now,
Boston
cities
like
Boston,
can't
afford
to
pay
that,
but
what's
happening
for
a
short
period
of
time,
but
over
time
that
cost,
when
can
he
grow,
grow,
grow.
C
So
now,
that's
where
we're
paying
money
back
so
we're
gonna,
have
lower
income
from
chapter
70,
a
greater
charter,
school
reimbursement
number
and
that's
what
we're
gonna
end
up
being
paying
the
state
for
education
funding,
because,
ultimately,
we
won't
be
getting
any
education
very
little
education,
money
from
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts,
because
the
way
the
formula
is
written,
our
formula
we've
done
in
the
past
we've
we've
filed
legislation
that
has
taken
care
of
Boston
or
taking
care
of
several
cities
and
towns
around
Boston.
What
the
promise
act
does
it's
fully
funds
education?
C
It
doesn't
when
I
say
fully
fun,
it
gives
Boston
more
money
and
other
cities
and
towns
more
money
and
it
lifts
all
boats
about
a
1.2
billion
dollar
investment
over
a
seven-year
period.
So
it's
an
investment
in
education
at
the
state
level
and
we
need
to
make
that
investment.
Our
schools,
125
school
buildings.
C
Two-Thirds
of
them
were
built
prior
to
World
War,
two,
so
we're
making
investments.
We've
already
made
three
hundred
million
dollars,
investments
in
new
new
school
buildings
in
Boston,
and
whether
it's
a
new
construction
or
retrofit
or
what-have-you,
and
we
have
another
about
eight
hundred
million
dollars
that
we're
going
to
do
over
the
next
couple
years.
We're
building
Boston,
Arts
Academy
right
now
we're
building
the
Josiah
Quincy
school
next,
one
out
of
the
box.
But
let
me
just
say
about
education,
and
this
is
where
I'll
get
in
trouble
here.
C
It's
frustrating
that
every
story
you
read
is
about
how
bad
the
schools
are,
how
convoluted
they
are.
We
have
a
formula
that
the
money
follows
the
child's
when
you
read
in
the
paper
in
the
next
couple
weeks,
not
the
paper's
father
I'm,
just
saying
when
you
read
the
paper,
that's
a
couple
weeks.
There
might
be
a
story
today,
I'm,
not
sure
that
you
know
sex
school
got
underfunded.
C
It
didn't
get
underfunded.
What
happened
was
the
population
of
kids
they
had
their
last
year
was
higher
than
the
population
of
kids.
That
is
projected
to
go
there
next
year.
The
money
follows
the
soon
so
I
would
ask
you
to
ask
that
question
to
a
school
when
somebody
says
the
only
underfunded
X
school?
Well,
what
was
your
population?
Last
year
my
publish
laser
is
400
what
you
publish
in
this
you
at
350.
Well,
you
lost
50
kids,
what
business
model
fulls
fleet
that
keeps
that
model
going
from
year
to
year?
C
C
If
their
number
is
whatever
it
is
to
run
13
million
dollars
around
the
school
and
say
that's
8,000,
kids
to
run
the
13
million
dollars
in
the
next
year,
they
get
900,
kids
and
they've
lost
a
million
and
a
half,
and
they
still
don't
fund
the
school
at
13
million
dollars.
They
have
to
make
adjustments.
So
that's
some
of
the
stuff
that
we're
trying
to
get
out
there
there's
a
lot
of
complications
in
our
school
system.
C
On
a
positive
note,
we
have
more
level
1
and
level
2
schools
right
now
in
Boston
any
other
period,
the
history
of
our
city.
If
you
go
to
our
most
underperforming
school
in
the
city
of
Boston
today,
I'm
not
sure
what
it
is,
but
you
go
into
that
school.
You
walk
in
the
front
door
and
you
walk
around
that
classroom.
C
You're,
seeing
learning
going
on
you're,
seeing
incredible
teachers
you're
seeing
incredible
opportunities,
it's
just
a
matter
of
making
sure
that
that
process
is
through
every
classroom
and
every
leader
in
the
district
and
that's
what
we're
working
on
is
trying
to
continue
those
no
woman's
for
it.
It's
complicated,
57,000,
kids,
I
think
the
number
is
87
percent
of
our
kids
that
go
to
our
school
districts
are
eligible
for
free
and
reduced
lunch.
Think
about
that
for
a
minute,
57,000,
kids,
87
percent
are
eligible
for
free
and
reduced
lunch.
C
C
So
it's
important
for
us
that,
as
we
think
about
these
young
people,
we
are
creating
opportunities
for
these
young
people
to
be
the
first
in
their
in
their
in
their
in
their
families.
To
graduate
high
school,
maybe
go
to
college,
get
a
job
have
an
opportunity,
that's
what
we're
facing
when
we
think
of
public
education
and
I
think
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
make
the
investments
and
we've
made
record
investments.
C
Every
year
since
I've
been
mayor
in
2014,
we
made
a
direct
investment,
2015
16
17
18,
we've
made
record
investments
and
right
now
we're
in
the
midst.
Right
now
we're
in
the
midst
of
a
budget
in
a
contract
negotiation,
so
we're
in
this
thing
place
this
year
in
the
budget,
but
the
process
started
last
week
and
it
doesn't
end
till
June,
so
there's
a
long
time
to
figure
out
as
we
move
forward
what
the
investments
will
be.
I
guarantee
there'll
be
more
investment
in
schools.
Again
this
year
the
National.
G
C
G
C
I
think
that
women
in
technology
in
Boston
particularly
run
startups,
are
outpacing
men
for
venture
capital
funding
on
the
East
Coast.
Actually
in
the
country.
That's
one
area
where
I
think
that
we're
making
great
gains
might
we
have?
We
have
a
woman's
work
force
council
in
the
city
of
Boston
that
we
do
work
on
we're
working
right
now
to
train
women
in
salary
negotiations,
workshops
we're
working
with
the
women's
workforce
council
we're
working
with
Evelyn,
Murphy
and
Kathy
Metohija
on
chair
at
workforce
council.
C
Many
women
in
this
room
are
part
of
that
that
are
working
to
make
sure
that
we
were
taking
data
from
companies.
Many
of
the
companies
in
this
room
and
giving
us
data
anonymously.
We
analyzed
in
the
data
were
able
to
see
where
the
paid
paid
gaps
are
one
part
of
that
that
didn't
work,
that
we
didn't
have
the
information
for
women
of
color
last
time.
We
did
this,
but
we're
asking
for
that
information
this
time.
So
I
I
mean
I,
think
I
think
women
are
the
future
workforce
of
the
country.
C
Let
me
just
throw
a
couple
month
as
a
Lea
52%
of
the
people,
the
households
in
the
city
of
Boston,
led
by
by
women
single
women,
outpacing
men
I,
think
that
I
think
that
it's
vital
for
our
economy
and
vital
for
the
future
of
Boston
to
continue
to
push
the
efforts
of
not
just
equal
pay.
I
mean
I
said
this.
When
I
first
became
in
I
mean
I,
don't
have
any
piece
of
legislation.
C
I
voted
on
for
equal
pay,
Jim
vote
on
a
ton
for
equal
pay,
jackie
have
one
on
time,
for
you
go
pay
it's
time
to
stop
talking
about
legislation
for
equal
pay
and
actually
acting
on
it
and
doing
something
about
it,
and
I
think
that
we've
seen
some
gains
incremental
games
in
some.
In
some
cases,
we've
seen
better
gains
and
others,
but
the
women,
women,
entrepreneurs'
women
and
technology
women
in
every
single
workforce
across
Commonwealth
and
across
the
city
is
very
important.
Thank.
G
A
H
C
No,
it's
a
great
question.
I
think
one
of
the
things
on
filing
legislation
on
the
canonic
ingestion
on
on
the
on
the
ride-sharing
companies
I
got
my
license.
I
said
this
story.
The
other
day
I
got
my
license
back
when
I
was
17
3035
years
ago,
when
I
drove
in
town
on
the
southeast
expressway,
it
was
backed
up
I'm
bumper-to-bumper
35
years
ago,
when
I
I
grew
up
on
a
street
in
Dorchester
and
when
I
want
to
pop
my
car
at
the
pocket
on
Victoria
Street
in
May
5th
Street,
which
is
two
streets
away.
C
Traffic's,
not
new
I,
think
what
we
have
to
think
about
are:
how
do
we
make
these
investments
in
in
other
modes
of
transportation?
As
far
as
moving
forward
the
governor
is
making
eight
billion
dollar
investment
in
public
transportation,
our
MBTA
and
I
may
get
in
trouble
for
this
again,
our
MBTA
is
reliable
most
days,
meaning
there's
some
delays,
but
does
the
lady's?
If
you
drive
in
town,
we
have
to
continue
to
build
and
make
investments
in
our
public
transportation
system.
C
We
have
to
continue
to
make
investments
in
our
in
our
in
an
alternative
modes
of
transportation
like
bicycling
and
walking.
We
have
to
get
people
out
of
their
cars.
We
have
to
get
people
walking
into
town
walking
around
town.
You
know,
transportation
is
not
going
to
be
solved.
Easy
synonymous.
Vehicles
might
help
us
down
the
road
electric
vehicles
might
help
us
down.
The
road
ride-sharing
might
help
us
down
the
road,
but
it's
it's
it's
a
complicated,
very
complicated
process.
C
So
in
the
city
of
Boston,
we
have
a
plan
Gina
for
our
transportation
commissioners
here,
but
we
have
a
plan
called
goal:
Boston
2030
we're
looking
at
in
some
areas,
the
city
of
Boston
lining
up
at
a
streetscape,
b-better,
Street
pathways,
I
think
the
biggest
thing
that
was
trying
to
encourage
people
take
public
transportation.
That's
the
biggest
that's
the
biggest
thing.
I
can
say
and
do
I
mean.
C
There's
I
can't
tell
people
not
to
drive
in
I'm,
not
a
real
big
fan
of
this
congestion
tax
that
that,
like
I
said
they
talk
about
England,
driving
and
I.
Don't
know
how
that
would
work,
but
but
I
do
think
that
traffic
is
something
that's
here
and
it's
it's
not
gonna
be
solved
by
the
mayor
of
Boston.
It's
not
gonna
be
solved
by
the
governor
of
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts.
It
has
to
be
solved
by
all
of
us.
C
It
has
to
be
almost
a
mindset,
change
on
how
we
how
we
decide
to
do
transportation
ten
years
ago
in
Boston,
if
you
were
working
in
the
the
Back
Bay
area,
and
you
wanted
to
go
to
downtown
Boston
Downtown
Crossing.
Ten
years
ago
you
drive
you
get
in
your
car,
you
drive
down
Boylston,
you
know
down
childs
up
Beacon,
you
know
down
to
Tremont
and
you
park
in
a
garage
somewhere
ten
years
later.
C
If
you
will,
if
you
look
at
the
the
systems
and
the
patterns
of
people,
a
lot
more
people
are
walking,
we
need
to
get
more
people
thinking
different
types
of
mobile
transportation.
As
far
as
walking
in
getting
around
the
city
of
Boston.
That's
a
duplicate.
I
know,
I
need
answer
the
question
anyway.
You
want
me
to
it's
a
complicated,
it's
a
complicated
question,
but
Jean.
If
and
I
can
give
you
all
the
stats
and
everything
else,
if
you
want
and
she'll
tell
you
so
make
it
sound
good
she'll
dress
up
what
I
just
said.
A
He
streamlines
all
of
the
process
of
regulations
on,
but
the
most
important
quality
I
think
that
he
has.
He
has
this
compassion
for
the
underdog
and
that
to
me
singled
him
out
many
other
people
that
he
is
passionate
about
the
homeless,
he's
passionate
as
well.
People
who
have
a
drug
addiction
of
alcohols
roblem
the
very
few
times
that
I
do
call
the
mayor
and
maybe
on
a
case
of
a
young
person,
person
who's
having
a
difficulty
struggling
with
life
boy.
A
A
Contribution
he
just
thinks
that
everyone
should
have
an
equal
opportunity
to
live
a
very
comfortable
life
and
he
gets
his
juices
flowing
when
he
meets
somebody
who's
struggling,
not
somebody
who's
doing
well,
but
he
says
god
bless
them.
It's
the
person
who's
struggling
that
he
wants
to
spend
more
time
with
I've
watched
him
over
the
years.
A
Do
that
it's
not
something
new,
but
all
of
Austin's
has
seen
that
in
the
last
couple
years,
so
we're
blessed
to
have
him
as
our
chief
executive
officer,
how
a
man,
but
he
brings
passion
and
so
many
wonderful
qualities
to
us
to
me.
That's
what
makes
this
city
great
as
he
said,
the
people
absolutely
and
it
snaps
at
the
top
of
the
leadership
I
also
want
to
just
acknowledge
the
presence
of
tissue
kamala
tissues
with
beth
israel,
deaconess
she's.
