A
A
A
B
So
it's
really
great
to
be
here.
This
is
my
neighborhood.
This
is
the
place
I
love
to
be,
and
I've
gone
running
around
this
area
on
the
morning
of
my
wedding,
but
it
also
is
a
place
that
means
so
much
to
so
many
in
this
in
this
community
and
so
we're
just
really
grateful.
B
As
many
of
you
know,
the
environment
department
has
made
many
plans
for
what
we
need
to
do
and
now
is
the
time
to
begin
enacting
those
plans,
and
so
we're
really
thankful
to
congressman
lynch
to
the
entire
delegation
for
the
support
of
the
work
that
we
need
to
do
to
make
sure
that
this
becomes
a
place
that
people
come
to
and
enjoy
and
not
a
place
that
people
are
scared
of,
because
it's
where
the
water
flows
into
our
neighborhoods.
So
we're
really
excited
to
work
also
with
our
partners
at
the
state.
B
This
is
an
opportunity
for
the
city
and
the
state
to
come
together
and
look
at
the
land
that
we
share
and
really
think
about
how
we
make
sure
that
our
waterfront
continues
to
be
a
source
of
joy
and
that
we
think
about
how
climate
change
is
changing
all
of
our
cities
and
work
together
to
make
sure
that
our
neighborhoods
are
protected.
So
really
thankful
to
have
you
here
last
time
I
was
here,
I
think
I
was
performing
a
wedding.
So
it's
really.
A
A
We
have
a
moment
and
a
chance
to
make
our
city
and
our
commonwealth
shining
examples
of
climate
resiliency.
Thank
you.
So
much
especially
congressman
congressman
lynch
whose
devotion
to
securing
this
investment
in
the
house
was
instrumental
in
ultimately
funding
this
project
and
to
our
senators,
who
have
been
stalwarts
of
a
green
new
deal
and
of
climate
action.
We've
had
the
chance
to
go
all
around
the
city
celebrating
the
various
funds
that
they
have
secured,
and
so
many
have
been
at
the
intersection
of
racial
justice,
climate
justice,
economic
justice
and
we're
so
grateful
for
your
partnership.
A
This
year
mark
represents
the
strongest
partnership
yet
between
our
city
and
state
when
it
comes
to
planning
and
designing
a
climate
resilience
project
in
boston.
We've
worked
at
the
state
on
all
sorts
of
matters
and
plans
in
the
past,
but
moakley
is
the
moakley
park.
Is
the
first
climate
resilience
project
heading
to
final
design
that
involved
city-state
collaboration
from
the
very
beginning.
A
For
decades,
this
beautiful
green
space
has
connected
dorchester
and
south
boston,
bringing
together
residents
from
across
our
city
and
state
to
play
sports
relax,
walk
around
the
water
apparently
get
married
as
well
as
one
of
boston's
largest
waterfront
parks.
This
space
and
the
communities
around
it
are
especially
vulnerable
to
the
impacts
of
climate
change
and
as
a
coastal
city,
we
must
stay
focused
on
taking
bold
action
to
protect
our
waterfront
and
our
environmental
justice
communities.
A
This
will
help
us
build
climate
resilient
infrastructure
in
areas
around
moakley
park
and
transform
this
green
space
into
one
that
our
communities
deserve.
It
also
protects
the
entire
city
from
serious
flooding.
Moakley
park
is
on
the
front
lines
of
rising
sea
levels,
and
without
these
measures
this
would
ultimately
be
the
gateway
to
waters
that
could
flood
all
the
way
into
roxbury.
C
Thank
you
good
morning.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
my
colleagues
in
government,
senator
warren,
senator
markey
and,
and
I
did
city
council
president
ed
flynn,
representative
beal,
and
I
did
see
city
council,
frank
baker
who
actually
represents
this.
This
part
of
south
boston
as
well,
so
welcome
frank
and
he's
been
very
active
on
on
these
issues
as
well.
So
this
is
a
great
day,
but
it's
it's
just
a
beginning
right.
I
do
want
to
explain
how
this
is
a
local
priority
project.
C
So
many
of
you
may
remember
years
ago
there
was
the
bridge
to
nowhere
and
and
congress
caught
a
lot
of
heat
because
the
the
lack
of
wisdom
around
that
project
and
the
lack
of
local
support.
C
I
think
so
so
now
we
have
a
situation
in
congress
where
we,
we
are
required,
as
members
of
congress,
to
go
out
into
the
neighborhoods,
our
towns
and
cities,
and
actually
ask
the
people
that
we
represent
what
they
would
like
to
see
as
a
local
priority
in
terms
of
sources
or
areas
to
be
addressed
by
federal
funding.
And
so
this
project
was
really
the
result
of
sitting
down
with
the
mary
ellen
mccormick
task
force.
Carol
sullivan
is
here
somewhere
and
also
families
from
the
ann
lynch
homes
at
old
colony.
C
Two
very
big
public
housing
developments,
deeply
affordable
public
housing
developments
to
find
out
what
they
wanted,
and
there
have
been
some
occasions
when
this
park
has
been
flooded
out
mostly
during
the
winter
and
it'll
freeze
over
and
provide
a
little
bit
of
opportunity
for
some
skating
and
things
like
that,
but
but
quite
disorganized,
and
we
could
see
that
the
the
the
impact
of
a
major
storm
would
not
only
threaten
the
park
itself,
which
is
a
treasure,
but
also
the
homes
that
collectively
between
federal
government,
state
government
and
city
government.
C
We've
invested
close
to
three
quarters
of
a
billion
dollars
in
these,
and
and
will
do
so
in
the
years
to
come
in
these
two
housing
developments,
eventually
creating
about
5
000
brand
new
units.
So
we
need
to
protect
that
investment,
but
we
also.
We
also
need
to
preserve
an
opportunity
for
people
to
enjoy
the
beach
and
enjoy
the
park
as
well.
C
So
like,
like
reverend
hammond,
I
I
I
jog
here
most
days
that
I'm
home
and
I'll
be
dressed
every
very
differently
later
on
in
the
day,
but
I'll
I'll
run
along
this
stretch
and
our
friends
at
umass
have
done
a
wonderful
job
in
creating
a
a
you
know,
a
green
way,
basically
to
to
allow
people
to
run
out
the
back
here
and
then
back
onto
morrissey
boulevard
and
back
into
south
boston.
So
it's
a
it's
a
real
treasure.
It's
it's
looking
better!
C
I
do
want
to
say
that
several
weeks
ago,
running
along
the
the
sugar
bowl
there
running
along
and
all
of
a
sudden,
a
small
seal
came
up
onto
the
onto
the
beach
in
south
boston.
So
you
know,
and
that's
a
result
of
the
the
billions
of
dollars
of
investment
that
that
our
federal
partners
have
have
made
in
terms
of
cleaning
up
the
water
by
by
virtue
of
the
you
know,
the
deer
island
water
treatment
facility.
C
So
those
those
are
proof
positive
that
that
are
good,
that
good
things
are
happening
here
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
all
along
the
way,
we
include
the
local
community
and
the
redesign
of
of
the
the
through
way
here
and
the
improvements.
I
I
heard
that
you
know
eventually
250
million
dollars
to
redesign
the
park
and
improve
this
area.
C
So
we
welcome
that,
but
I
do
want
to
come
back
to
the
local
community
that
really
were
the
ones
who
spearheaded
this
effort-
they're
the
ones
who
said
this
is
a
priority
for
us
and
and
we
would
like
to
see
our
homes
and
and
our
neighborhood
protected.
So
I
give
great
credit
to
my
my
friend
senator
warren
and
senator
markey,
who
who
championed
this
in
on
the
senate.
C
I
also
give
great
credit
to
my
local
city
councilors,
my
state
reps
and
my
senators
for
sitting
down
with
the
neighbors,
because
it
was
a
competition
of
ideas
right.
There
were
many
proposed
ideas
for
receiving
federal
funding.
C
This
is
the
one
that
won,
but
it
was
a
spirited
debate
and
there
are
others
in
the
community
who
want
their
ideas
funded
at
a
later
time
as
well,
but
but
we've
got
agreement
on
this,
we've
got
consensus,
but
it
came
from
a
lot
of
hard
work
from
our
local
officials,
and
I
want
to
give
them
credit
as
well.
So
god
bless
you
all
for
being
here.
This
is
a
wonderful
wonderful
day,
but
it's
only
the
beginning,
and
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
senator
warren
for
her
remarks.
Thank.
D
You
know
I
I
just
want
to
start
by
saying
a
very
special
thank
you
to
mayor
wu
that
we
can
be
here
with
her
to
congressman
lynch
who
really
has
pushed
this
forward
and
to
the
best
partner
I
could
ever
hope
for
in
the
united
states
senate,
and
that
is
ed
markey.
D
We
know
that
moakley
park,
floods
all
too
regularly
and
climate
change
is
making
this
flooding
more
frequent
and
more
severe.
This
park
is
situated
at
a
critical
breach
point
that
threatens
the
long-term
vitality
of
south
boston,
a
front-line
community
that
is
home
to
thousands
of
people
that
provides
critical,
affordable
housing
at
mary,
ellen,
mccormick
and
old
colony.
It
is
also
home
to
important
regional
transportation
infrastructure.
D
A
storm
surge
of
40
inches
in
this
area
would
affect
more
than
35
000
people
as
our
climate
changes.
So
must
we
we
must
adapt
to
our
changing
environment,
and
we
begin
by
making
this
park
more
resilient,
to
protect
our
neighborhoods
and
to
protect
our
city,
the
city
of
boston's,
climate-ready,
boston
program
and,
in
particular,
the
resilient
moakley
park.
Connectors
project
is
a
key
step
forward
in
preparing
and
protecting
our
communities
from
the
impacts
of
climate
change.
D
This
beautiful
park
is
named
after
the
late
congressman,
joe
moakley,
who
represented
loved
and
fought
for
southie
and
for
our
nation.
He
was
so
eager
to
serve
our
country
that
he
falsified
his
birth
certificate
so
that
he
could
enlist
in
the
navy
at
age
15..
He
was
later
elected
to
local
state
and
federal
offices
where
he
served
the
public
for
nearly
half
a
century,
joe
dedicated
his
entire
life
to
defending
his
country
and
his
community.
D
It
is
only
fitting
that
the
park
that
bears
his
name
does
the
same.
So
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
worked
on
this
project
and
the
members
of
the
community
who
have
put
in
such
long
hours
to
make
sure
that
their
voices
are
heard
thanks
also
to
the
work
done
by
the
city
and
the
local
community,
and
with
this
federal
contribution
we
are
prepared
to
undertake
these
climate
resilience
investments.
D
E
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
senator
warren
and
thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
here.
As
senator
warren
said,
she
and
I,
we
partnered
in
the
senate
in
order
to
ensure
that
this
funding
was
included
and
no
higher
priority
and
no
higher
priority,
because
steve
lynch
had
made
it
a
local
priority.
E
Local
and
you
know
when
joe
moakley
passed
away.
E
And
so
it's
natural
that
congressman
lynch
would
focus
on
this
to
make
sure
that
it
is
protected
and,
of
course
doing
so
in
partnership
with
great
mayor.
The
green
new
deal
mayor
of
the
world,
michelle
wu,
as
we
continue
to
focus
on
these
issues
and
ensure
that
the
funding
is
there
to
protect
this
incredible
natural,
wonder
which
god
has
granted
to
the
great
city
of
boston.
E
Almost
within
easy
jogging
distance
is
the
mary
ellen
mccomic
housing
project,
but
over
there
with
the
ann
lynch
named
after
the
congressman's
mother
projects
as
well,
and
this
money
is
meant
to
protect
them
all
of
the
tenants.
All
of
the
residents
of
that
of
that
great
part
of
the
of
south
boston
and
the
funding
that
we're
talking
about
right
now
is
is
part
of
nearly
140
million
dollars
in
direct
federal
spending
that
the
massachusetts
senate
and
congressional
delegation
has
brought
home
for
our
commonwealth.
E
It's
an
important
piece
of
our
plan
to
ensure
that
all
of
our
communities
can
withstand
the
growing
impacts
of
the
climate
crisis.
Moakley
park
is
one
of
the
city's
most
utilized
public
recreation
and
open
spaces,
but
it
sits
at
a
critical
breach
point
that
threatens
the
long-term
vitality
of
this
and
nearby
neighborhoods
the
impacts
nearby
housing
developments,
the
impacts
nearby
transportation.
It
impacts
over
35
000
people
when
40
inches
of
sea
level
rise
during
a
1
storm
event,
and
we
are
going
to
be
having
1
storm
events
here
in
the
city
of
boston.
E
We
can't
combat
climate
change
unless
we
center
the
needs
of
environmental
justice.
In
communities
and
we
can't
center
their
needs
unless
we
hear
their
voices
so
a
little
over
a
week
ago,
I
stood
with
senator
warren
and
congresswoman
presley
and
mayor
wu
and
other
members
of
the
east
boston
delegation
to
celebrate
two
million
dollars
in
congressionally
directed
spending
for
a
climate
resilient
piers
park
too.
E
Today
we
stand
in
south
boston
to
celebrate
this
neighborhood's
efforts
to
create
a
climate,
resilient
moakley
park
from
east
boston
to
south
boston,
our
communities
matter
and
today
we're
in
moakley
park,
but
we
won't
let
up
until
all
of
our
communities,
especially
front
line
environmental
justice
communities
have
access
to
green
space
and
are
resilient
against
the
most
damage,
damaging
impacts
of
climate
change.
In
mostly
alone,
seventeen
hundred
low-income
families
are
at
risk.
Those
turning
to
the
nearby
emergency
shelters
are
at
risk.
E
Our
transportation
and
storm
water
infrastructure
are
at
risk,
and
that's
why
projects
like
this
one
are
so
important
and
part
of
the
city's
climate
ready
boston
program.
This
community-led
project
will
ensure
that
critical,
pre-disaster
mitigation
efforts
are
made
to
close
the
flood
entry
pathway
and
to
protect
the
residents
with
the
city's
climate
resiliency
goals
in
mind.
This
park
will
undergo
design
and
construction
to
revamp
infrastructure
and
make
park
improvements
required
for
a
climate
resilient
locally
park.
Salty
residents
deserve
a
climate
resilient
waterfront
and
park.
E
They
should
not
have
to
bear
the
immediate
burden
of
the
climate
crisis.
This
is
a
bold
vision,
a
bold
green
new
deal,
vision
for
the
city
of
boston
and
for
all
of
its
residents
center
centering
environmental
justice
at
the
heart
of
it.
That's
why
we're
here?
That's
why
we're
celebrating.
We
know
we're
in
the
crosshairs
of
climate
change
right
here,
where
we're
standing
in
south
boston.
This
is
the
funding
that
will
help
to
protect
against
the
worst
most
catastrophic
effects.
So
thank
you
all
so
much
for
everything
you're
doing.
A
Now
we
will
hear
from
our
city
and
state
delegation
we'll
invite
up
first
city
council,
president
ed
flynn
followed
by
councillor
frank
baker,
councilor
michael
flaherty
and
rep
david
beal,.
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor
wu,
for
your
leadership
in
bringing
us
together
and
you
know,
government
is
about
working
together,
and
this
is
exactly
what
we've
seen
today:
city
government
under
mayor
wu
state
government
under
governor
baker
and
the
federal
government
under
senator
warren
senator
markey,
and
especially
congressman
lynch
bringing
us
together
to
make
sure
the
residents
of
dorchester
the
residents
of
south
boston
that
this
park
is
inclusive,
that
this
this
ocean
is
inclusive
for
everybody
across
the
street.
Congressman
lynch
mentioned
is
mary,
ellen
mccomic
down
the
road
is
ian
lynch
at
old
colony.
F
West
9th
street
development
is
right
across
the
street
as
well,
and
just
a
couple
blocks
down.
The
road
is,
is
west
broadway
and
you
don't
have
a
more
inclusive
public
housing
residence
than
we
have
here
in
south
boston
and
we're
proud
of
that.
But
what
we're
proud
about
is
also
congressman
lynch
bringing
us
together
to
make
sure
that
this
area
is
inclusive
for
everybody,
but
especially
for
people
from
public
housing
development.
F
G
Good
morning,
everybody
thank
you
for
coming
out.
I
first
want
to
thank
steve
lynch
for
always
having
your
feet
on
the
ground
and
what
also
senator
markey
senator
senator
warren.
What
senator
markey
didn't
mention
is
when
steve
went
to
congress.
He
said
to
us.
His
work
is
when
I
go
to
congress
you're
going
to
congress,
so
he
bought
400
of
his
closest
friends
when
he
was
sworn
in
that
night
it
was
a
great
night.
G
Thank
you
for
the
memory
that's
going
to
last
forever
and
he
talked
about
skating
right
over
there.
I
skated
there.
I
skated
at
moakley
park
when
it
was
fro
when
it
was
frozen,
swam
right
out
there
and
one
of
the
things
that's
going
on
in
this
whole
area.
Welcome
to
columbia.
Point
by
the
way
is
the
is
the
public-private
partnerships
that
are
happening
with
umass
in
the
accordion
development.
That's
going
on,
it's
been
the
catalyst
to
get
this
fall.
G
Moving
this
site
over
here
will
raise
up
by
25
feet
to
help
us
on
this
side.
The
the
resiliency
berm
will
be
here.
We
have,
we
have
kazusko
circle
in
the
middle
of
it.
All
these
discussions
are
all
about
resiliency
and
also
transportation.
I
grew
up
in
the
neighborhood
right
across
and
we
were
trapped
by
the
train
tracks,
the
highway
kazusko
circle
and
hopefully,
by
the
time
I
die,
we're
going
to
be
able
to
address
some
of
those
things,
but
the
importance
in
the
collaboration-
that's
happened
here.
G
I
think
that's
the
most
important
part,
the
the
catalyst
that
was
the
dorchester
bay
and
umass
over
here
to
get
us
all
talking
about
the
resiliency
to
get
us
talking
about
transportation,
and
how
can
we
connect
these
neighborhoods
that
are
as
close
to
close
to
any
place
to
the
water,
but
we
haven't
been
able
to
safely
get
here.
So
I'm
I'm
here.
I'm
grateful
that
we're
all
here.
G
I'm
grateful
that
we're
talking
and
I'm
grateful
that
we
have
the
money
for
the
resiliency,
the
mo
and
and
hopefully
some
money
coming
in
for
transportation,
also,
but
just
great
great
times,
coming
to
columbia.
Point
coming
to
south
boston
coming
to
dorchester.
This
is
a
sort
of
a
crossroads
where
we
all
meet
and
we
all
use
carson
beach
as
a
as
a
way
to
cool
off
in
the
summer.
Again,
thank
you,
everybody
for
being
here
and,
most
importantly,
thank
you
for
the
collaboration.
H
Thank
you.
I
my
name
is
city
council,
large,
michael
flaherty,
and
I
was
actually
born
in
the
old
harbor
projects,
which
is
now
muriel
mccormick
and
grew
up
playing
little
league
and
babe
ruth
at
moakley
park.
My
kids
played
soccer
and
pop
wanna,
so
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
park
and
all
excited
to
talk
about
those
improvements
and,
if
you
think
about
the
late
great
congressman
joe
mocha,
who
I
serve
with,
I
know,
congressman
lynn
show
what
I
know.
H
Senator
markey
had
the
privilege
of
serving
with
nobody
brought
resources
and
funding
back
to
boston
better
than
joe
and
to
realize
that
congressman
lynch
stepped
right
into
those
shoes
and
continues
to
scratching
car
and
do
what
he
can
down
in
dc
to
make
sure
that
this
district,
in
partnership
with
senator
warren
and
senator
markey
and
the
leadership
of
mayor
wu,
we're
going
to
be
in
great
shape.
H
H
Abbott
save
the
harbor,
save
the
bay
lots
of
folks
that
day
in
and
day
out,
while
we're
at
city
hall
or
the
state
house,
or
down
at
the
capitol
down
in
washington
folks
that
their
daily
lives
are
to
to
to
focus
on
these
issues,
to
keep
us
informed
and
to
tell
us
where
those
needs
are
working
with
our
community
here
in
south
boston
and
our
neighbors
in
dorchester.
H
This
is
going
to
be
a
great
thing
for
for
many
years
to
come
in,
as
we
continue
to
tackle
the
climate
change
issues
that
senator
markey
had
outlined.
We
know
that
we've
got
folks
like
steve
lynch
at
beacon
hill.
H
We
have
mayor
wu
at
city
hall,
we've
got
senator
nick
collins
and
david
beale
up
at
the
state
house
and
myself
ed
flynn
and
and
frankie
baker
at
city
hall,
all
working
together
in
partnership
on
behalf
of
the
community
with
all
of
the
non-profits
and
the
other
organizations
that
make
this
their
focal
point
every
single
day.
So
thank
you
obviously,
kathy
fred
save
the
harbor
save
the
base.
So
many
other
folks
here
that
made
this
opportunity
possible
will
continue
to
go
to
work
for
you.
Let
us
know
how
we
can
be
most
helpful
moving
forward.
H
But
again
I
just
want
to
thank
our
congressman,
congressman
lynch
and
our
both
of
our
senators,
senator
warren
sena
markey
and
our
mayor
for
sort
of
putting
this
thing
together,
we're
all
in
the
same
boat,
rowing
in
the
same
direction
and
know
that
you
have
a
a
very
listening
and
helpful
in
and
hopeful
ear
at
city
hall,
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
together.
Thank
you
all
for
your
time
and
attention
look
forward
to
the
groundbreaking
and
all
the
improvements
at
moakley
park
in
the
years
to
come.
Thank
you.
I
I
We
don't
get
here
today,
without
collaboration
collaboration
between
federal
partners,
led
by
congressman
lynch,
senator
marquis,
senator
warren
collaboration
with
our
city
officials,
meru
councillors,
flynn,
flaherty
baker
and
efforts
with
the
state
working
in
partnership
with
dcr
we're
in
dcr
property
right
now,
working
with
senator
collins.
One
thing
that
that
I've
learned
representing
this
community
living
in
this
community
is
that
we're
south
boston's,
a
peninsula
and
dorchester
is
a
coastal
community.
We're
surrounded
by
water.
I
We've
seen
the
need
for
resiliency
first
hand
and
just
very
proud
to
have
the
partnership
support
of
our
partners
at
all.
All
levels
of
government,
councilor
baker
alluded
to
having
private
partnerships,
which
is
equally
important.
The
only
way
we're
going
to
get
things
done
is
by
working
together,
public
private
nonprofits.
I
know
boston
harbor
now
is
here.
I
They've
been
tremendous
partners
because
we've
been
having
these
conversations,
and
one
thing
I
think,
we've
learned
over
the
last
two
years-
is
the
importance
of
our
parks,
the
importance
of
our
beaches
through
the
efforts
of
our
of
our
governments.
We
have
some
of
the
cleanest
beaches
here
in
south
boston
and
in
dorchester,
and
these
investments
will
ensure
that
our
parks
and
our
beaches
will
be
there
for
generations
to
come.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
today.
I
I
know
we're
at
the
start
of
a
conversation
on
on
what
on
how
we
can
get
this
across
the
finish
line.
Look
forward
to
being
a
part
of
that
with
the
community.
I
know
carol
sullivan's
here
on
behalf
of
the
tenants
who
were
driving
this
as
well.
So
thank
you
again
for
being
here
and
look
forward
to
the
work
ahead.
A
Thank
you
so
much
so
next,
we'll
hear
from
our
partners
in
various
state
agencies,
director,
fred
lasky
of
the
mwra
and
then
director,
sarah
white
of
dcr,
and
then
we'll
close
it
out
with
the
star
of
the
program,
ms
carol
sullivan.
J
No,
I
we
sit
here
on
a
beautiful
day
and
and
the
the
weather's
cooperated
and
and
we're
looking
behind
us
at
an
incredible
asset
in
the
beach
in
the
park
and
and
it
wasn't
easy
to
get
here
and
and
just
as
a
little
bit
of
background,
the
the
idea
was
to
build
a
massive
pump
station
down
the
other
end
of
of
the
beach
and
when
the
rain
would
come,
would
fire
up
this
big
fuel
pump
station,
the
second
largest
in
new
england
and
we'd
pump
all
of
the
sewage
somewhere
else
and
it'll
be
great
except
the
environmental
side
of
it.
J
The
second
largest
pump
station
in
new
england.
So
we're
going
back
and
forth.
It
was
very
contentious
with
the
neighbors.
The
council
remembers
that
well
and
and
yet
we
were
holding
the
line
holding
the
line,
we're
going
to
build
the
pump
station
it's
in
the
overall.
The
best
way
and
and
I've
got
an
invitation
to
go
to
congressman
lynch's
office,
and
I
went
up
there
in
this
next
sitting
there,
he
probably
members
and
dan
ryan.
J
I
the
congressman,
and
I
had
a
nice
conversation
and
I
get
back
to
the
office
and
they
said
well.
How
did
it
go?
I
said:
well,
he
made
me
an
offer.
I
couldn't
refuse
we're
going
to
plan
b.
What's
plan
b,
I
don't
know,
but
we're
going
to
figure
it
out
and
and
that
plan
b
was
the
massive
storage
tunnel
down
along
the
beach.
Here.
That's
led
to
the
cleanest
urban
beaches
in
the
country
and.
J
And
it
was
a
collaborative
effort,
federal
state,
local,
regional
and
then
the
neighbors
were
involved
from
the
beginning
and-
and
he
said
by
the
way
they
said
well-
was
there
anything
else
I
said
yeah.
He
wants
a
dog
park,
he's
tired
of
seeing
dogs
on
the
beach.
So
right,
you
have
your
dog
park
right
there
and
it
all
worked
out
and
it
all
worked
out-
and
I
thank
you
all
for
your
support
here
today
and
we're
glad
that
we're
included
in
this.
J
Obviously,
we
have
some
very
important
assets
that
we've
constructed
the
storage
tunnel,
the
ventilation,
the
the
headworks
and
it's
it's
critically
important
that
we
be
involved
and
we
are-
and
I
I
thank
you
all
for
that
and
again
I
congratulate
the
everyone
else
and
here's
my
ed
mackie
story
and
then
I'll
shut
up.
He
had
just
become
elected
as
u.s
senator
and
the
congressman's
office
was
in
medford
square.
I
live
in
that
for
my
wife
and
I
walked
the
dog
every
night.
He
had
gotten
elected
the
next
night.
J
K
Good
morning,
thank
you
I'll,
be
brief,
because
most
of
my
remarks
were
covered
by
everyone
else.
This
is
truly
an
amazing
partnership.
The
department
of
conservation
and
recreation
is
really
proud
to
be
a
partner.
In
this
initiative
with
the
city
of
boston
and
our
federal
delegation,
I
feel
very
fortunate
to
work
for
the
baker
polito
administration
that
really
puts
environmental
issues
at
the
real
heart
of
everything
that
we
do.
K
The
department
of
conservation
and
recreation
just
established
an
office
of
climate
resilience
where
I
work
and
we're
able
to
really
fully
participate
in
these
types
of
climate
change
initiatives
across
the
city
of
boston
and
beyond
under
mayor
wu's
leadership.
We're
really
excited
to
begin
to
invest
in
this
area
and
make
some
partnerships
along
the
way.
So
I'll
be
brief,
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
enjoy
the
park
while
you're
here.
Thank
you.
A
Miss
carol
sullivan
is
the
leader
of
the
marielle
mccormick
task
force,
we're
so
grateful
for
her
leadership,
and
it's
not
just
on
small
projects
like
this
one,
not
too
long
ago
carol
and
the
governor
and
the
congressman
and
fellow
colleagues
and
I
were
on
a
walk
of
the
housing
development
and
the
many
many
changes
that
are
needed
there
again.
It
will
be
a
city-state
and
federal
partnership,
and
so
we're
so
grateful
for
her
leadership
and
that
all
the
many
voices
that
she
represents.
L
Well,
all
I
can
say
is
wow
standing
here
with
such
a
group
of
people,
and
I
am
so
honored
my
good
morning.
My
name
is
carol
sullivan
and
I'm
a
tenant
of
the
mary
ellen,
mccormick
development
and
executive
director
of
the
mary
ellen
aquaric
task
force.
The
mary
ellen
mccormick
public
housing
development
is
owned
by
the
boston
housing
authority
built
in
the
1930s
and
a
community
of
1016
deeply
affordable
housing
units
that
for
generations
many
have
called
their
home
and
located
directly
across
from
oakley
park.
L
Parts
of
the
mariella
mccormick
development
are
in
a
flood
zone.
Several
years
ago,
many
of
us,
including
myself,
living
on
our
colony
ave,
were
affected
by
a
storm
surge
that
flooded
our
basements,
causing
many
units
to
be
infested
with
little
flies
that
caused
flooding
for
several
weeks
we
had
to
plug
our
drains
and
our
overflow
and
the
sinks
and
tubs
until
the
basements
could
be
dried
out
which
affected
our
quality
of
life.
L
Today,
today's
earmarks
announced
today's
earmark
announcement
is
very
exciting,
as
mariella
mccormick
and
moakley
park.
Each
undergo
significant
change
adapting
for
the
impacts
of
climate
change,
while
advancing
the
city's
goals
for
mixed
income,
housing
and
resiliency
the
boston,
housing
authority
and
marielle
mccormick
task
force
has
partnered
with
wind
development
to
redevelop
the
thousand
sixteen
units
and
preserve
affordability.
L
The
new
mixed
income
community
also
increases
density
to
achieve
this
public
purpose,
while
creating
modern,
affordable
homes
for
individuals
and
families.
The
new
development
will
include
many
resilient
and
sustainable
measures,
including
designing
all
residential
buildings
to
be
the
highest
of
the
highest
environmental
standards.
L
This
significant
private
investment
will
ensure
that
current
and
future
homes
for
thousands
of
bostonians
from
south
boston
to
roxbury
are
protected,
while
creating
open
spaces
for
all
to
enjoy.
Regardless
of
age
background
or
income,
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
giving
me
this
commun
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
talk
to
you
today
about
this
critical
endeavor.
Thank.
B
A
A
There
will
be
other
efforts
to
absorb
the
water,
and
overall,
it's
designed
will
be
further
designed
with
the
community's
voices
front
and
center
in
terms
of
how
to
preserve
and
enhance
the
existing
uses
that
are
already
here,
the
multi-faceted
recreational
uses,
but
with
that
key
core
component
of
protection
from
flooding
and
direct
absorption
and
mitigation
of
climate
change,.
G
A
Yeah,
so
the
the
beyond
this
two
million
dollar
investment
that
we
put
to
use
immediately.
There
is
a
multi-million
dollar
investment
that
the
city
is
looking
to
secure,
funding
for
and
move
forward
on.
That
will
include
the
entire
length
of
this
area
and
making
sure
that
the
improvements
to
play
facilities
and
family
spaces
accessible,
universal
accessibility
are
all
included.
G
G
It's
not
just
mowgli
park
sean,
it's
it's
accordia,
all
the
way,
all
the
way
over
it
all
connects.
This
is
the
the
berm
or
what
we're
looking
at
today
is
just
going
to
be
the
first
thing,
but
mowgli
is
a
pretty
heavy,
lift,
that's
250
million.
I
would
envision
the
city
will
be
there
according
will
be
there
and
different
partners
around
here
will
be
there
for
us
to
be
able
to
pay
for
it.
C
Just
this
one
thing
yeah,
so
if
you
notice
the
seawall
ends
down
there,
I
think
that
the
thinking
back
in
the
day
was
protect
the
residential
homes
that
are
along
the
water
there,
and
so
the
the
sea
wall
stops
right
there
at
the
beginning
of
babe
ruth
park
drive,
and
so
this
is
a
big
gap.
C
I
think
I
think
back
in
the
day,
they
thought
okay,
the
park
is
there
and
you
know
it
doesn't
need
to
necessarily
be
protected,
but
now
we're
seeing
storms
with
more
regularity
and
more
severity
to
quite
quite
frankly,
and
so
it's
actually
as
as
as
carol
sullivan
mentioned,
it's
impacting
the
the
housing
development
right
behind
there
we're
making
a
huge,
huge
investment
there,
like,
I
said,
three
quarters
of
a
billion
dollars
in
those
two
developments.
C
C
So
the
idea
is
to
try
to
maintain
access
to
the
beach
maintain
access
to
the
park,
but
do
it
in
a
way
that
you
know
we
we
implement
design
features
that
are
also
a
barrier
to
encroachment
during
those
severe
weather,
storms.
Other
events.
A
I
don't
have
details
on
that
and
I'm
sure
the
community
will
have
plenty
of
thoughts,
so
I
think
for
more
to
come
on
the
specific
design
details
after
a
specific
community
process
and
and
getting
all
the
components
in
order.
M
You
know
I
had
actually
had
a
question,
someone
sort
of
huge
answer
as
well
for
the
federal
folks,
but
regarding
the
supreme
court
in
the
fight
against
climate
change,
the
supreme
court
is
not
considering
a
case
will
rule
on
a
case
regarding
the
epa
and
the
regulation
of
greenhouse
gases.
You
know
it's
concerned
that
they'll
strip
the
epa
of
its
ability
to
regulate
that,
and
I
guess
I'd
ask
you
know
some
reactions
from
the
folks
in
washington
university
like
well
to
that
and
also
the
court
itself.
M
Does
it
sort
of
given
its
decisions
that
it's
made?
Is
it
a
concern
as
we
move
forward
trying
to
fight
climate
change.
D
I'll
start,
we
have
an
out
of
control
supreme
court,
they
have
torched
their
own
credibility
and
climate
is
just
the
next
item
up
where
this
court
may
prove
that
it's
not
about
law.
It's
about
politics.
D
That
means
that
we're
going
to
have
to
double
down
our
efforts
at
the
congressional
level
on
any
number
of
issues
from
road
to
voting
rights
to
climate.
The
way
we
do
that
is
that
we
focus
on
the
election.
In
november,
we
focus
on
local
elections.
D
We
have
a
gubernatorial
race
here.
It
matters
who
gets
elected
governor
and
I
just
want
to
say
we
have
maura
healey
running
against
a
trump-endorsed
person
who
would
take
the
state
in
the
wrong
direction.
It
also
matters
at
the
federal
level.
We
get
two
more
democratic
senators
who
are
willing
to
get
rid
of
the
filibuster
and
double
down
on
the
issues
that
matter
and
are
urgent
for
the
american
people
from
road
to
climate.
D
Then
we
can
make
real
change,
but
this
is
a
moment
when
we
can't
overstate
just
how
much
is
at
risk.
The
united
states
supreme
court
is
out
of
control,
and
congress
needs
to
react
quickly.
E
Thank
you.
The
most
important
environmental
decision
in
the
history
of
the
united
states
was
rendered
by
the
supreme
court
in
april
of
2007.
E
That
decision
was
ultimately
made
by
the
obama
administration
and
that's
what
gave
them
the
power
to
increase
fuel
economy
standards
of
the
vehicles
we
drive
and
to
take
other
actions
to
reduce
greenhouse
gases.
E
This
can
this
supreme
court
right
now
is
deciding
what
the
epa
can
do
to
reduce
greenhouse
gases
and,
unfortunately,
they're
disciples
of
justice,
scalia
justice
scalia
in
his
descent
in
massachusetts
versus
epa,
said:
what's
next
flatulence
from
cows,
just
showing
his
disdain
and
the
minority
disdain
in
that
decision
for
any
action
taken
in
order
to
reduce
greenhouse
gases
and
its
impact
upon
the
coastline
of
massachusetts,
but
upon
the
the
well-being
of
the
people
of
the
united
states.
E
So
this
decision,
which
they're
about
to
render,
could
very
easily
the
epa's
ability
to
promulgate
regulations
to
reduce
greenhouse
gases,
but
to
protect,
in
general,
the
environment
in
our
country.
By
saying
that,
in
the
absence
of
a
specific
law
passed
by
congress
to
specifically
talk
about
any
particular
problem,
the
epa
cannot
act.
The
problem
with
that
is
that
it
would
have
tremendous
repercussions
across
all
health
care
safety
regulations
across
the
entire
spectrum
of
issues
that
regulatory
agencies
in
american
history
have
put
on
the
books
in
order
to
protect
public
health
and
safety.
E
So
I
agree
with
senator
warren.
We
need
to
repeal
the
filibuster
so
that
we
can
expand
the
supreme
court
to
reclaim
the
two
stolen
seats
on
a
now
illegitimate
court,
which
are
stealing
the
rights
of
american
people.
We
need
to
repeal
the
filibusters,
so
we
can
pass
strong
abortion
protections
that
we
can
pass
strong
gun
safety
laws
that
we
can
pass
strong
environmental
laws
that
we
can
pass
laws
which
the
american
people
want
to
see
on
the
books.
E
C
Let
me
just
follow
up
and-
and
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
if
you
read
the
the
the
recent
supreme
court
case
in
jobs
b
jackson,
one
of
one
of
the
troubling
aspects
of
this
is
that
the
court
in
judge
alito's
majority
opinion
held
that
that,
because
a
fundamental
right
was
not
enumerated
and
and
extended
to
the
states
back
in
1868.
C
When
you
know
when
the
fourth
amendment
was
adopted,
that
that
it
it
does
not
have
the
legitimacy
to
exist
right
now,
if
and
and
so
now,
they've
undermined
what
was
a
a
broad-based
right,
recognized
by
the
supreme
court
that
extended
to
every
american,
now
they've
diced
it
up
by
state
by
state,
so
that
some
women
no
longer
have
that
right.
Some
people
don't
enjoy
that
secure
right
of
privacy
under
the
supreme
court's
view.
C
Right
now,
if
you,
if
you
apply
that
reasoning
to
the
west
virginia
case,
my
fear
is
that
they
will
undermine
the
national
spectrum
of
environmental
justice
that
they
will
dice
it
up,
just
as
they
have
done
in
the
reproductive
rights
case
and
say
that
each
state,
each
state
has
the
right
to
regulate
the
environment
within
their
borders.
That
does
not
work
that
that
undermines
any
meaningful
look.
C
The
climate
change
challenge
is
a
global
challenge
and
if
they
that
they
force
us
or
or
take
the
power
of
the
epa
to
to
do
their
work
on
a
national
and
on
a
global
scale,
they're
they're
they're,
causing
great
damage
to
our
efforts
that
we're
here
to
address
today
under
the
under
what
would
be
a
new
constitutional
scheme
so
that
that
that's
my
great
fear
that
that
they're
going
to
continue
this
down
this
same
road
in
the
same
way
to
to
undermine
our
ability
to
provide
rights
to
people
on
a
national
basis,
but
also
to
protect
to
provide
protections
for
our
environment
on
a
national
and
a
global
scale.
A
A
We
are
blessed
and
so
lucky
in
massachusetts,
to
have
this
federal
delegation
fighting
for
us
and
taking
every
possible
step
laying
out
the
path
to
make
a
difference
in
this
moment
at
the
federal
level,
but
I
will
say
at
the
city
level,
at
the
state
level.
I
know
I
speak
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
here
today
that
we
are
ready
and
we
are
poised
to
be
that
backstop-
and
we
have
been
here
before
as
a
commonwealth
massachusetts
from
revolution
to
abolition
to
marriage.
A
Equality
has
always
stood
up
even
when
the
rest
of
the
country
was
not
ready
or
was
not
willing,
and
each
of
those
instances
when
we
have
stepped
forward
to
provide
that
fundamental
recognition
that
every
single
person
is
valued
should
be
safe,
should
be
welcomed
and
should
be
home
protected
here.
That
has
an
impact
in
all
of
our
shared
prosperity,
our
commonwealth
for
generations.
A
To
come
right
when
we
became
the
state
leading
the
charge
for
abolition,
we
became
home
to
a
thriving
economy
and
workers
and
families
who
built
their
homes
here
and
just
as
right
now,
when
people
in
different
states
all
across
the
country
are
now
looking
at
the
erosion
of
federally
protected
rights
and
now
set
to
the
whims
of
individual
states.
Politics
not
feeling
at
home,
maybe
in
other
places,
boston
and
massachusetts
can
be
home
for
everyone.
