Every elected official at City Hall should be ashamed. This is what a neglected community looks like. Mass & Cass requires a recovery focused & recovery incentivized approach. It is clear your current efforts/strategies are ineffective & a waste of resources/time.

Tackling gun violence includes holding people accountable. If you think its okay to shoot with kids & families walking by, you don’t deserve to be on our streets. Our kids should be able to walk to their local corner store without having to worry about getting shot.

Massachusetts schools still have 1 billion of unspent money. Boston has only spent a third of the money it was allocated. It has $294,691,000 remaining, unspent. $294 Million. If it’s not spent by next year, Boston schools lose this money.
