Posted on Author Matt ContiComments(4)

In addition to asking why 14 meetings were cancelled this year, the committee members are concerned about potential behind-the-scenes deals being made between developers and the Boston Redevelopment Authority.

  3. 14 meetings cancelled. A travesty against democratic government.
    Boston residents’ civil rights have been and are being trashed.
    Most unforgivable: planning for the harbor area does not emphasize certain future floodiing of the harbor area and further into the city. Parts of the city face major flooding within this generation.
    Foundations will crumble (Check the research.)

    Boston cannot continue giving $$ incentives to obscenely wealthy builders. People are homeless and hungry; some are dying on the street.
    Forget charity. Think and act with prudence and justice.
    Mayor Walsh must learn how to lead. Movers and shakers of Boston must operate for the good of the community as well as for themselves.
