00:25:48:00	00:25:52:00	WAS IN DISREPAIR AND IT HAD A
00:25:52:00	00:25:52:00	LOT OF INVESTMENT.

00:26:06:00	00:26:07:00	BUT FINALLY WE DECIDED TO
00:26:07:00	00:26:10:00	CHANGE IT AND DO A NEW BRIDGE.

00:46:26:00	00:46:27:00	HOW THIS PETITION INTERACTS
00:46:27:00	00:46:30:00	WITH ONGOING OVERSIGHT REFORM

00:46:34:00	00:46:34:00	AND MODERNIZE THE BOSTON
00:46:34:00	00:46:38:00	FINANCE COMMISSION.
00:46:38:00	00:46:38:00	WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY IS
00:46:38:00	00:46:41:00	IMPORTANT AND PROVIDES FLAHERTY

00:46:42:00	00:46:46:00	TODAY AS BOTH CHAIR OF THIS
00:46:46:00	00:46:49:00	COMMITTEE AND AS AN INDIVIDUAL
00:46:49:00	00:46:50:00	COUNCILOR AS CHAIR BECAUSE THIS
00:46:50:00	00:46:53:00	IS A RIGHT THAT HAS BEEN
00:46:53:00	00:46:54:00	GRANTED TO THE CITIZENS TO
00:46:54:00	00:46:54:00	PURSUE.
00:46:54:00	00:46:56:00	I BELIEVE IN THE FULL
00:46:56:00	00:46:57:00	REALIZATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC
00:46:57:00	00:46:57:00	PROCESS.
00:46:57:00	00:47:00:00	THIS PETITION MET THE LEGAL
00:47:00:00	00:47:01:00	REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSIDERATION
00:47:01:00	00:47:02:00	AND I TAKE SERIOUSLY OUR
00:47:02:00	00:47:05:00	RESPONSIBILITY TO HONOR THAT
00:47:05:00	00:47:06:00	RIGHT THAT'S BEEN GRANTED TO
00:47:06:00	00:47:08:00	RESIDENTS.
00:47:08:00	00:47:09:00	THAT IS WHY I'VE BROUGHT THIS
00:47:09:00	00:47:10:00	MATTER FORWARD FOR A VOTE BY
00:47:10:00	00:47:10:00	THE FULL COUNCIL.
00:47:10:00	00:47:13:00	I PROMISED THAT I WOULD AND WE
00:47:13:00	00:47:13:00	ARE HERE TODAY.
00:47:13:00	00:47:16:00	HOWEVER, I ALSO WANT TO BE
00:47:16:00	00:47:16:00	TRANSPARENT BOTH WITH MY
00:47:16:00	00:47:19:00	COLLEAGUES AND THE PUBLIC ABOUT
00:47:19:00	00:47:20:00	MY PERSONAL STANCE THROUGHOUT
00:47:20:00	00:47:20:00	THIS PROCESS.
00:47:20:00	00:47:24:00	I HAVE ENGAGED WITH ONE OF OUR
00:47:24:00	00:47:25:00	COLLEAGUES WHO HAS WORKED IN
00:47:25:00	00:47:27:00	PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ADVOCATES
00:47:27:00	00:47:31:00	AND TRIED MY BEST TO REVIEW THE
00:47:31:00	00:47:32:00	LOGIC BEHIND BOTH THE PROS AND
00:47:32:00	00:47:35:00	CONS AND I AM HUMAN.
00:47:35:00	00:47:36:00	I'M LOGIC TO A FAULT AND I HAVE
00:47:36:00	00:47:39:00	BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH ABOUT
00:47:39:00	00:47:40:00	THE NECESSITY OF THIS GOING TO
00:47:40:00	00:47:44:00	THE BALLOT AND IN A DECISION
00:47:44:00	00:47:45:00	THAT I DID I DIDN'T MAKE
00:47:45:00	00:47:45:00	LIGHTLY.
00:47:45:00	00:47:48:00	I HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY CONVINCED
00:47:48:00	00:47:49:00	THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS THAT
00:47:49:00	00:47:51:00	PLACING THIS QUESTION ON THE
00:47:51:00	00:47:52:00	BALLOT IS NECESSARY AND I'M
00:47:52:00	00:47:55:00	GOING TO EXPLAIN WHY.
00:47:55:00	00:47:56:00	NUMBER ONE, WE ALREADY HAVE AN
00:47:56:00	00:47:59:00	OVERSIGHT BODY IN THE BOSTON
00:47:59:00	00:47:59:00	FINANCE COMMISSION ESTABLISHED
00:47:59:00	00:47:59:00	IN 1907.
00:47:59:00	00:48:02:00	IT IS TASKED WITH INVESTIGATING
00:48:02:00	00:48:06:00	AND AUDITING ALL CITY MATTERS.
00:48:06:00	00:48:06:00	IN MANY WAYS IT ALREADY
00:48:06:00	00:48:07:00	FUNCTIONS AS THE CITY'S
00:48:07:00	00:48:10:00	INSPECTOR GENERAL RATHER THAN
00:48:10:00	00:48:10:00	CREATING SOMETHING NEW.
00:48:10:00	00:48:11:00	THE CITY COUNCIL IS CURRENTLY
00:48:11:00	00:48:14:00	PURSUING A SERIOUS AND
00:48:14:00	00:48:15:00	SUBSTANTIVE EFFORT THROUGH A
00:48:15:00	00:48:17:00	HOME RULE PETITION TO MODERNIZE
00:48:17:00	00:48:18:00	AND EXPAND THE FINANCIAL
00:48:18:00	00:48:21:00	FINANCE COMMISSION'S AUTHORITY
00:48:21:00	00:48:22:00	THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1948.
00:48:22:00	00:48:25:00	THAT LEGISLATIVE PROCESS HAS
00:48:25:00	00:48:29:00	BEEN UNDERWAY FOR FOUR YEAR NOW
00:48:29:00	00:48:30:00	AND WE ARE DEEPLY ENGAGED IN
00:48:30:00	00:48:33:00	STRENGTHENING IT.
00:48:33:00	00:48:34:00	AND ONE OF THESE NEW FOUND
00:48:34:00	00:48:35:00	AUTHORITIES INCLUDES HAVING THE
00:48:35:00	00:48:36:00	FIVE MEMBER BODY APPOINT A
00:48:36:00	00:48:39:00	DIRECTOR WITH THE TITLE
00:48:39:00	00:48:39:00	OF INSPECTOR GENERAL.
00:48:39:00	00:48:43:00	SECOND, THIS PETITION AS
00:48:43:00	00:48:46:00	DRAFTED IN MY OPINION PERSONAL
00:48:46:00	00:48:46:00	OPINION IS DUPLICATIVE WHILE IT
00:48:46:00	00:48:47:00	IS TECHNICALLY NON-BINDING
00:48:47:00	00:48:50:00	PLACING ANY QUESTION ON THE
00:48:50:00	00:48:51:00	BALLOT ESPECIALLY ONE THAT
00:48:51:00	00:48:54:00	CONCERNS THE VERY STRUCTURE
00:48:54:00	00:48:54:00	OF THE GOVERNMENT IN WHICH WE
00:48:54:00	00:48:55:00	SERVE AND CARRIES WEIGHT.
00:48:55:00	00:48:58:00	WE OWE VOTERS FLAHERTY.
00:48:58:00	00:48:59:00	WE SHOULD NOT ASK THEM TO WEIGH
00:48:59:00	00:49:01:00	IN ON SOMETHING THAT NUMBER ONE
00:49:01:00	00:49:02:00	ALREADY EXISTS IN A DIFFERENT
00:49:02:00	00:49:05:00	FORM AND TWO COULD
00:49:05:00	00:49:05:00	INADVERTENTLY CAUSE CONFUSION
00:49:05:00	00:49:08:00	ABOUT WHETHER THE COUNCIL IS
00:49:08:00	00:49:08:00	PURSUING CONFLICTING APPROACHES
00:49:08:00	00:49:13:00	TO OVERSIGHT TRANSPARENT AND
00:49:13:00	00:49:13:00	ACCOUNTABILITY WHICH IS
00:49:13:00	00:49:13:00	SOMETHING THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY
00:49:13:00	00:49:14:00	DOING THROUGH THE HOME RULE
00:49:14:00	00:49:16:00	PETITION PROCESS.
00:49:16:00	00:49:17:00	IF WE ARE ASKING THE PUBLIC TO
00:49:17:00	00:49:20:00	VOTE THE ISSUE MUST REFLECT A
00:49:20:00	00:49:21:00	CLEAR GAP IN OUR LEGISLATIVE
00:49:21:00	00:49:24:00	FRAMEWORK OR AN UNMET PUBLIC
00:49:24:00	00:49:24:00	NEED.
00:49:24:00	00:49:28:00	THAT THRESHOLD HAS NOT BEEN MET
00:49:28:00	00:49:28:00	HERE.
00:49:28:00	00:49:28:00	ADDITIONALLY, THE STATED
00:49:28:00	00:49:32:00	RATIONALE BEHIND THIS PETITION
00:49:32:00	00:49:35:00	I SHARED DURING THE HEARING IS
00:49:35:00	00:49:36:00	TO APPLY PRESSURE ON THE STATE
00:49:36:00	00:49:39:00	HOUSE TO ACT ON OUR EXISTING
00:49:39:00	00:49:40:00	HOME RULE PETITION.
00:49:40:00	00:49:40:00	WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT
00:49:40:00	00:49:43:00	STRATEGY I BELIEVE THAT MOST
00:49:43:00	00:49:44:00	OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO
00:49:44:00	00:49:44:00	ADVANCE OUR LEGISLATION IS
00:49:44:00	00:49:47:00	THROUGH A STRONG FOCUSED POLICY
00:49:47:00	00:49:50:00	ON STRONG FOCUSED POLICYMAKING
00:49:50:00	00:49:51:00	NOT THROUGH GESTURES THAT COULD
00:49:51:00	00:49:54:00	MUDDY THE WATERS.
00:49:54:00	00:49:55:00	THAT SAID, I WANT TO
00:49:55:00	00:49:55:00	ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS PETITION
00:49:55:00	00:49:58:00	WAS NOT FILED BY ANY OF THE
00:49:58:00	00:49:58:00	COUNCIL BUT BY RESIDENTS
00:49:58:00	00:50:01:00	EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT UNDER
00:50:01:00	00:50:02:00	THE CITY CHARTER OR MY STATE
00:50:02:00	00:50:02:00	LAW.
00:50:02:00	00:50:04:00	ONE OF OUR COLLEAGUES HAS
00:50:04:00	00:50:05:00	WORKED CLOSELY WITH THEM AND I
00:50:05:00	00:50:08:00	DEEPLY RESPECT THAT ADVOCACY.
00:50:08:00	00:50:09:00	THIS IS A UNIQUE SITUATION AND
00:50:09:00	00:50:11:00	SO I AM TAKING A UNIQUE.
00:50:11:00	00:50:12:00	I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT ONE
00:50:12:00	00:50:13:00	THAT DRAWS A DISTINCTION
00:50:13:00	00:50:15:00	BETWEEN MY PERSONAL
00:50:15:00	00:50:16:00	DISAGREEMENT AND MY DUTY TO
00:50:16:00	00:50:17:00	FACILITATE THE PROCESS.
00:50:17:00	00:50:20:00	TO THAT END, WHAT IS PRODUCED
00:50:20:00	00:50:20:00	HERE IN THIS COMMITTEE REPORT
00:50:20:00	00:50:23:00	IS A NEW VERSION OF THE BALLOT
00:50:23:00	00:50:23:00	QUESTION THAT BETTER REFLECTS
00:50:23:00	00:50:23:00	OUR CURRENT WORK.
00:50:23:00	00:50:27:00	THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE ASKED
00:50:27:00	00:50:28:00	WHETHER THE CITY SHOULD CREATE
00:50:28:00	00:50:31:00	A NEW A BRAND NEW INSPECTOR
00:50:31:00	00:50:31:00	GENERAL OFFICE.
00:50:31:00	00:50:32:00	THE REVISED VERSION ASKED
00:50:32:00	00:50:36:00	WHETHER RESIDENTS SUPPORT THE
00:50:36:00	00:50:36:00	GENERAL CONCEPT OF AN
00:50:36:00	00:50:39:00	INDEPENDENT MUNICIPAL INSPECTOR
00:50:39:00	00:50:39:00	GENERAL LANGUAGE THAT ALIGNS
00:50:39:00	00:50:40:00	WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE HOME
00:50:40:00	00:50:43:00	RULE PETITION AND AVOIDS
00:50:43:00	00:50:43:00	SUGGESTING THE CREATION OF A
00:50:43:00	00:50:47:00	REDUNDANT OR PARALLEL AGENCY.
00:50:47:00	00:50:47:00	THIS REVISED LANGUAGE EMERGES
00:50:47:00	00:50:50:00	FROM A DELIBERATIVE AND
00:50:50:00	00:50:51:00	THOUGHTFUL COMMITTEE PROCESS.
00:50:51:00	00:50:51:00	IT INCORPORATES FEEDBACK FROM
00:50:51:00	00:50:55:00	COLLEAGUES AND, THE PUBLIC AND
00:50:55:00	00:50:55:00	REFLECTS OUR ATTEMPT TO GROUND
00:50:55:00	00:50:58:00	THIS QUESTION IN THE REALITY
00:50:58:00	00:50:59:00	OF WHAT IS ALREADY UNDERWAY.
00:50:59:00	00:51:00:00	I BELIEVE THAT THIS VERSION
00:51:00:00	00:51:02:00	BEST REFLECTS THE COUNCIL'S
00:51:02:00	00:51:03:00	WORK AND THE DEMOCRATIC
00:51:03:00	00:51:03:00	PROCESS.
00:51:03:00	00:51:06:00	AND SO TO CONCLUDE MY
00:51:06:00	00:51:07:00	RESPONSIBILITY AS CHAIR IS TO
00:51:07:00	00:51:07:00	ENSURE THIS PETITION RECEIVES
00:51:07:00	00:51:10:00	DO CONSIDERATION BY THIS BODY
00:51:10:00	00:51:10:00	AND THAT INCLUDES FACILITATING
00:51:10:00	00:51:13:00	A FULL COUNCIL VOTE.
00:51:13:00	00:51:14:00	MY PERSONAL OPINION IS THAT
00:51:14:00	00:51:17:00	THIS BALLOT QUESTION IS
00:51:17:00	00:51:17:00	UNNECESSARY, POTENTIALLY
00:51:17:00	00:51:18:00	CONFUSING AND NOT THE MOST
00:51:18:00	00:51:21:00	EFFECTIVE TOOL TO ADVANCE
00:51:21:00	00:51:22:00	OVERSIGHT REFORM.
00:51:22:00	00:51:22:00	I BELIEVE WE SHOULD REMAIN
00:51:22:00	00:51:26:00	FOCUSED ON STRENGTHENING THE
00:51:26:00	00:51:26:00	FINANCE COMMISSION TO REFORM
00:51:26:00	00:51:27:00	THE PETITION PROCESS AND
00:51:27:00	00:51:29:00	ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO CONTINUE
00:51:29:00	00:51:30:00	ENGAGING IN THAT PROCESS.
00:51:30:00	00:51:31:00	THIS PARTICULAR APPROACH THAT I
00:51:31:00	00:51:34:00	AM TAKING IS NOT UNPRECEDENTED.
00:51:34:00	00:51:37:00	IN 2023 THEN CHAIR ARROYO TOOK
00:51:37:00	00:51:38:00	A SIMILAR STANCE WITH THE
00:51:38:00	00:51:38:00	ENCAMPMENT ORDINANCE WHERE HE
00:51:38:00	00:51:41:00	INTRODUCED A COMMITTEE WHILE
00:51:41:00	00:51:42:00	PERSONALLY VOTING NO.
00:51:42:00	00:51:42:00	ACCORDINGLY I AM INTRODUCING
00:51:42:00	00:51:45:00	THIS COMMITTEE REPORT
00:51:45:00	00:51:46:00	RECOMMENDING DOCKET 1274 BE
00:51:46:00	00:51:49:00	MOVED FROM COMMITTEE AND THAT
00:51:49:00	00:51:49:00	THIS VERSION OF THE QUESTION
00:51:49:00	00:51:52:00	OUGHT TO PASS SHOULD
00:51:52:00	00:51:53:00	COUNCIL CHOOSE TO SUPPORT IT.
00:51:53:00	00:51:56:00	WHILE I WOULD BE VOTING NO.
00:51:56:00	00:51:57:00	MY RECOMMENDATION AS CHAIR
00:51:57:00	00:51:57:00	REFLECTS RESPECT FOR THE
00:51:57:00	00:52:00:00	PETITION PROCESS AND A
00:52:00:00	00:52:01:00	COMMITMENT TO ENSURING THE
00:52:01:00	00:52:04:00	COUNCIL'S WORK REMAINS COHERENT
00:52:04:00	00:52:05:00	, STRATEGIC AND INADVERTENT IN
00:52:05:00	00:52:08:00	SERVICE OF A MORE TRANSPARENT
00:52:08:00	00:52:08:00	AND MODERN CITY GOVERNMENT.
00:52:08:00	00:52:09:00	THANK YOU.
00:52:09:00	00:52:13:00	THANK YOU COUNCILOR BECAUSE I
00:52:13:00	00:52:14:00	WAS A PART OF THE CHAIR AND I
00:52:14:00	00:52:15:00	JUST CAN'T EVEN HEAR YOU ON THE
00:52:15:00	00:52:15:00	FLOOR.
00:52:15:00	00:52:16:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
00:52:16:00	00:52:20:00	COLLEAGUES, TODAY I RISE AS
00:52:20:00	00:52:21:00	SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN WORKING
00:52:21:00	00:52:21:00	CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITY ON THE
00:52:21:00	00:52:24:00	INSPECTOR GENERAL TO ADVANCE
00:52:24:00	00:52:24:00	THE CITIZEN'S PETITION TO PLACE
00:52:24:00	00:52:27:00	A NON-BINDING QUESTION ON THE
00:52:27:00	00:52:28:00	NOVEMBER BALLOT ASKING WHETHER
00:52:28:00	00:52:28:00	OR NOT THE CITY OF BOSTON
00:52:28:00	00:52:32:00	SHOULD ESTABLISH AN INDEPENDENT
00:52:32:00	00:52:32:00	MUNICIPAL INSPECTOR GENERAL.
00:52:32:00	00:52:36:00	THIS PETITION REFLECTS MONTHS
00:52:36:00	00:52:36:00	OF ORGANIZING AND A CLEAR
00:52:36:00	00:52:40:00	DESIRE FROM RESIDENTS TO BE A
00:52:40:00	00:52:40:00	PART OF THE CONVERSATION ON HOW
00:52:40:00	00:52:43:00	WE STRENGTHEN OVERSIGHT HERE IN
00:52:43:00	00:52:43:00	CITY GOVERNMENT.
00:52:43:00	00:52:44:00	RESIDENTS WENT THROUGH THIS
00:52:44:00	00:52:47:00	PROCESS NOT ONCE BUT TWICE
00:52:47:00	00:52:48:00	UNDER THE ILLUSION THAT THEY IF
00:52:48:00	00:52:51:00	THEY DID IT, IF THEY REDID IT
00:52:51:00	00:52:54:00	THEY WOULD ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO
00:52:54:00	00:52:55:00	MAKE IT ONTO THE BALLOT.
00:52:55:00	00:52:59:00	BUT DESPITE THAT THAT FALSE
00:52:59:00	00:52:59:00	HOPE.
00:52:59:00	00:53:03:00	HERE WE ARE.
00:53:03:00	00:53:03:00	WE DID EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK
00:53:03:00	00:53:04:00	AND NOW WITH ALL THE SIGNATURES
00:53:04:00	00:53:07:00	VERIFIED TWICE AND THE LEGAL
00:53:07:00	00:53:10:00	PROCESS THAT HAS FOLLOWED THIS
00:53:10:00	00:53:11:00	COUNCIL HAS A DECISION TO MAKE.
00:53:11:00	00:53:14:00	OVER THE PAST YEAR THE CITY
00:53:14:00	00:53:14:00	COUNCIL HAS WORKED ON
00:53:14:00	00:53:15:00	ESTABLISHING AN INSPECTOR
00:53:15:00	00:53:15:00	GENERAL IN BOSTON.
00:53:15:00	00:53:18:00	RIGHT NOW WE'RE ADVANCING A
00:53:18:00	00:53:19:00	PETITION THAT WOULD STRENGTHEN
00:53:19:00	00:53:22:00	THE FINANCE COMMISSION ONCE WE
00:53:22:00	00:53:23:00	GET ITS PASSAGE IF IT EVER
00:53:23:00	00:53:25:00	LEAVES THIS CHAMBER.
00:53:25:00	00:53:26:00	WE NEED THAT MOMENTUM TO GET IT
00:53:26:00	00:53:29:00	PASSED THROUGH THE STATE HOUSE
00:53:29:00	00:53:29:00	.
00:53:29:00	00:53:30:00	THE HOPE IS TO SEND IT TO THE
00:53:30:00	00:53:31:00	STATE HOUSE WITH A STRONG
00:53:31:00	00:53:34:00	MANDATE AND WE CAN NAME A
00:53:34:00	00:53:34:00	NUMBER OF GOOD IDEAS THAT HAVE
00:53:34:00	00:53:37:00	GONE TO THE STATE HOUSE AND
00:53:37:00	00:53:37:00	NEVER CAME BACK.
00:53:37:00	00:53:38:00	IN FACT WE'VE SENT THINGS THERE
00:53:38:00	00:53:40:00	TODAY LITERALLY.
00:53:40:00	00:53:41:00	AND IF WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT
00:53:41:00	00:53:42:00	GETTING THE PETITION THROUGH
00:53:42:00	00:53:44:00	BEACON HILL, THEN WE SHOULD
00:53:44:00	00:53:45:00	WELCOME EVERY BIT OF PUBLIC
00:53:45:00	00:53:46:00	SUPPORT WE CAN GET.
00:53:46:00	00:53:49:00	THIS BALLOT QUESTION BUILDS
00:53:49:00	00:53:49:00	MOMENTUM.
00:53:49:00	00:53:52:00	IT TELLS LAWMAKERS THAT
00:53:52:00	00:53:53:00	OVERSIGHT ISN'T JUST A
00:53:53:00	00:53:53:00	COUNCIL PRIORITY.
00:53:53:00	00:53:56:00	IT IS A PUBLIC DEMAND.
00:53:56:00	00:53:57:00	AND YET INSTEAD OF RALLYING
00:53:57:00	00:54:00:00	BEHIND THAT WE SEE HESITATION.
00:54:00:00	00:54:01:00	WE SEE PUSHBACK.
00:54:01:00	00:54:01:00	WE SEE GATEKEEPING.
00:54:01:00	00:54:04:00	WE KNEW FROM THE BEGINNING THAT
00:54:04:00	00:54:05:00	THE ADMINISTRATION DID NOT WANT
00:54:05:00	00:54:06:00	THIS QUESTION ON THE BALLOT LET
00:54:06:00	00:54:08:00	ALONE WE KNEW FROM THE
00:54:08:00	00:54:08:00	BEGINNING THAT THE
00:54:08:00	00:54:09:00	ADMINISTRATION DID NOT EVEN
00:54:09:00	00:54:11:00	WANT AN OFFICE OF INSPECTOR
00:54:11:00	00:54:12:00	GENERAL.
00:54:12:00	00:54:12:00	AND WE HAVE LOTS
00:54:12:00	00:54:15:00	OF DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE JUST
00:54:15:00	00:54:15:00	THAT.
00:54:15:00	00:54:16:00	AND NOW WE'RE WATCHING THE SLOW
00:54:16:00	00:54:20:00	MOTION EFFORT TO BLOCK IT FROM
00:54:20:00	00:54:20:00	WITHIN.
00:54:20:00	00:54:23:00	WE'RE WATCHING THE STATUS QUO
00:54:23:00	00:54:24:00	REASSERT ITSELF QUIETLY AND
00:54:24:00	00:54:27:00	STRATEGICALLY BECAUSE THIS IS
00:54:27:00	00:54:28:00	THE THIRD THE SECOND TIME THAT
00:54:28:00	00:54:31:00	I GET NOTICE THE DAY OF WHERE
00:54:31:00	00:54:34:00	WE'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE A VOTE
00:54:34:00	00:54:35:00	ABOUT MOVING IN DIFFERENT
00:54:35:00	00:54:38:00	DIRECTIONS.
00:54:38:00	00:54:39:00	AND SO I JUST REALLY THINK THAT
00:54:39:00	00:54:39:00	IT'S ALL PART OF A LARGER
00:54:39:00	00:54:41:00	CONCERTED EFFORT TO JUST KILL
00:54:41:00	00:54:42:00	THE BILL.
00:54:42:00	00:54:45:00	LET'S ALSO TAKE A MOMENT TO
00:54:45:00	00:54:46:00	REFLECT ON SOME OF THE CONCERNS
00:54:46:00	00:54:46:00	WE'VE HEARD FROM RESIDENTS
00:54:46:00	00:54:47:00	ABOUT HOW DECISIONS ARE BEING
00:54:47:00	00:54:49:00	MADE IN THIS CHAMBER.
00:54:49:00	00:54:50:00	MANY HAVE EXPRESSED FRUSTRATION
00:54:50:00	00:54:53:00	WITH WHAT THEY PERCEIVE IS A
00:54:53:00	00:54:53:00	LACK OF TRANSPARENCY BACK ROOM
00:54:53:00	00:54:57:00	CONVERSATIONS AND A LACK
00:54:57:00	00:54:57:00	OF OPEN DEBATE AND ULTIMATELY
00:54:57:00	00:55:01:00	SYMBOLIC GESTURES THAT REALLY
00:55:01:00	00:55:01:00	FEEL DISCONNECTED WHEN
00:55:01:00	00:55:05:00	RESIDENTS ORGANIZE FOR
00:55:05:00	00:55:05:00	OVERSIGHT AND THEN THE RESPONSE
00:55:05:00	00:55:06:00	FROM THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS IS
00:55:06:00	00:55:08:00	TO MAKE IT HARDER NOT EASIER
00:55:08:00	00:55:09:00	FOR THEIR VOICES TO BE HEARD.
00:55:09:00	00:55:12:00	THAT'S NOT DEMOCRACY.
00:55:12:00	00:55:13:00	WE OFTEN SPEAK ABOUT
00:55:13:00	00:55:13:00	TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY
00:55:13:00	00:55:17:00	AND PUBLIC TRUST.
00:55:17:00	00:55:18:00	THIS IS THE MOMENT TO ACT ON
00:55:18:00	00:55:18:00	THOSE VALUES NOT BY DECIDING
00:55:18:00	00:55:21:00	THE OUTCOME OURSELVES BUT BY
00:55:21:00	00:55:21:00	MAKING SPACE FOR VOTERS TO BE
00:55:21:00	00:55:22:00	HEARD.
00:55:22:00	00:55:25:00	WE KNOW THAT THE PUBLIC TRUST
00:55:25:00	00:55:26:00	IN GOVERNMENT DOESN'T JUST REST
00:55:26:00	00:55:28:00	ON WHAT WE LEGISLATE THEY REST
00:55:28:00	00:55:29:00	ON HOW OPEN WE ARE TO PUBLIC
00:55:29:00	00:55:32:00	INPUT.
00:55:32:00	00:55:33:00	BY ADVANCING THIS QUESTION
00:55:33:00	00:55:33:00	TODAY WE'RE NOT MAKING A FINAL
00:55:33:00	00:55:36:00	DECISION ON THE INSPECTOR
00:55:36:00	00:55:36:00	GENERAL.
00:55:36:00	00:55:37:00	CONTRARY TO WHAT WE'VE BEEN
00:55:37:00	00:55:40:00	BEING LED TO BELIEVE, THIS IS
00:55:40:00	00:55:43:00	REALLY ABOUT ALLOWING PEOPLE
00:55:43:00	00:55:44:00	THE RIGHT TO WEIGH IN ON WHAT
00:55:44:00	00:55:44:00	THAT SHOULD LOOK LIKE.
00:55:44:00	00:55:47:00	THE NON-BINDING QUESTION IS
00:55:47:00	00:55:48:00	CLEAR THE PROCESS WILL FOLLOW
00:55:48:00	00:55:51:00	THE INTENT IS STRAIGHTFORWARD.
00:55:51:00	00:55:52:00	IT IS A COMPLEMENT TO THE HOME
00:55:52:00	00:55:55:00	RULE POTENTIAL IF THAT'S REALLY
00:55:55:00	00:55:56:00	WHAT WE WANT.
00:55:56:00	00:55:59:00	ADVANCING IT TODAY IS ABOUT
00:55:59:00	00:55:59:00	RAISING AWARENESS AND ENGAGING
00:55:59:00	00:56:00:00	THE PUBLIC AND BUILDING
00:56:00:00	00:56:03:00	MOMENTUM.
00:56:03:00	00:56:03:00	BOSTON VOTERS WANT MORE ARE
00:56:03:00	00:56:07:00	MORE THAN CAPABLE
00:56:07:00	00:56:07:00	OF UNDERSTANDING AND WEIGHING
00:56:07:00	00:56:11:00	IN ON OVERSIGHT TO SUGGEST
00:56:11:00	00:56:11:00	OTHERWISE IS BOTH DISMISSIVE
00:56:11:00	00:56:12:00	AND MISLEADING.
00:56:12:00	00:56:15:00	TO REITERATE TODAY WE'RE NOT
00:56:15:00	00:56:15:00	ASKING ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU
00:56:15:00	00:56:18:00	AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THE
00:56:18:00	00:56:19:00	QUESTION BUT WHETHER YOU WILL
00:56:19:00	00:56:22:00	BE IN SUPPORT OF DEMOCRACY AND
00:56:22:00	00:56:23:00	ALLOW THIS QUESTION TO COME
00:56:23:00	00:56:25:00	BEFORE THE VOTERS.
00:56:25:00	00:56:26:00	REMEMBER THAT A NO VOTE TODAY
00:56:26:00	00:56:27:00	MEANS THAT WE'RE ASKING
00:56:27:00	00:56:29:00	RESIDENTS TO COLLECT THOUSANDS
00:56:29:00	00:56:32:00	OF SIGNATURES LITERALLY 10%
00:56:32:00	00:56:32:00	OF REGISTERED BOSTON VOTERS.
00:56:32:00	00:56:37:00	AND SO CONSIDER CAREFULLY WHAT
00:56:37:00	00:56:37:00	THIS MESSAGE IS SENDING TO THE
00:56:37:00	00:56:37:00	GENERAL PUBLIC.
00:56:37:00	00:56:41:00	I ALSO ASK EACH OF YOU TO
00:56:41:00	00:56:41:00	CONSIDER WHAT THIS MOMENT IS
00:56:41:00	00:56:44:00	CALLING FOR RIGHT NOW.
00:56:44:00	00:56:45:00	COMPLACENCY.
00:56:45:00	00:56:45:00	HOLDING THE LINE FOR OUR
00:56:45:00	00:56:49:00	POLITICAL ALLIES LOW.
00:56:49:00	00:56:49:00	IT'S CALLING US TO BE STRONG,
00:56:49:00	00:56:52:00	TO BE BOLD AND TO BE COURAGEOUS
00:56:52:00	00:56:52:00	.
00:56:52:00	00:56:53:00	AND WHEN IT COMES ESPECIALLY TO
00:56:53:00	00:56:53:00	GOVERNANCE, IT CALLS FOR
00:56:53:00	00:56:56:00	LETTING THE PEOPLE TAKE THE
00:56:56:00	00:56:57:00	REINS OF THEIR CITY AND
00:56:57:00	00:56:59:00	PROVIDING THEM THE PLATFORM TO
00:56:59:00	00:57:00:00	DO SO.
00:57:00:00	00:57:00:00	WE ARE DISCUSSING PLACING A
00:57:00:00	00:57:04:00	NON-BINDING QUESTION ON THE
00:57:04:00	00:57:07:00	BALLOT A QUESTION THAT PROVIDES
00:57:07:00	00:57:08:00	US AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHECK THE
00:57:08:00	00:57:08:00	TEMPERATURE OF WHERE RESIDENTS
00:57:08:00	00:57:12:00	OF BOSTON STAND ON THE IDEA
00:57:12:00	00:57:12:00	OF INCREASING ACCOUNTABILITY IN
00:57:12:00	00:57:15:00	OUR CITY GOVERNMENT.
00:57:15:00	00:57:16:00	I URGE MY COLLEAGUES TO NOT
00:57:16:00	00:57:19:00	LEAD WITH FEAR
00:57:19:00	00:57:19:00	OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND
00:57:19:00	00:57:20:00	PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY BUT
00:57:20:00	00:57:23:00	INSTEAD TO EMBRACE IT.
00:57:23:00	00:57:23:00	LET US PASS THIS NONBINDING
00:57:23:00	00:57:26:00	BALLOT QUESTION AND DEDICATE
00:57:26:00	00:57:27:00	OURSELVES TO TRULY LISTENING TO
00:57:27:00	00:57:31:00	THE PEOPLE OF BOSTON AND WHERE
00:57:31:00	00:57:32:00	THEY STAND ON THIS ISSUE.
00:57:32:00	00:57:33:00	THIS QUESTION IS ABOUT SHOWING
00:57:33:00	00:57:35:00	RESPECT FOR PUBLIC INPUT AND
00:57:35:00	00:57:36:00	LETTING OUR RESIDENTS GUIDE THE
00:57:36:00	00:57:39:00	CONVERSATION ON ACCOUNTABILITY
00:57:39:00	00:57:39:00	AND OVERSIGHT AND NOT
00:57:39:00	00:57:42:00	SUPPRESSING PEOPLE EVEN
00:57:42:00	00:57:43:00	FURTHER.
00:57:43:00	00:57:46:00	SO I APPRECIATE THE TIME AND
00:57:46:00	00:57:47:00	EFFORT THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN
00:57:47:00	00:57:47:00	ME TO SPEAK IN THIS CHAMBER.
00:57:47:00	00:57:48:00	THANK YOU.
00:57:48:00	00:57:51:00	THANK YOU.
00:57:51:00	00:57:51:00	COMES FROM HERE.
00:57:51:00	00:57:52:00	THE CHAIR CAN I JUST
00:57:52:00	00:57:53:00	CONCENTRATE AND YOU HAVE THE
00:57:53:00	00:57:53:00	FLOOR.
00:57:53:00	00:57:57:00	THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
00:57:57:00	00:57:58:00	I'VE BEEN THINKING A LOT ABOUT
00:57:58:00	00:58:01:00	THIS THIS PARTICULAR QUESTION
00:58:01:00	00:58:05:00	OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS AND I
00:58:05:00	00:58:05:00	REALLY FEEL THAT THE FINANCE
00:58:05:00	00:58:09:00	THE BOSTON FINANCE COMMISSION
00:58:09:00	00:58:11:00	COMMONLY KNOWN AS FIN COMM WAS
00:58:11:00	00:58:12:00	ESTABLISHED IN 1907 AS AN
00:58:12:00	00:58:16:00	INDEPENDENT WATCHDOG AGENCY TO
00:58:16:00	00:58:16:00	MONITOR ANY AND ALL BUSINESS
00:58:16:00	00:58:19:00	OF THE CITY OF BOSTON.
00:58:19:00	00:58:20:00	AND THE PURPOSE OF INCOME IS TO
00:58:20:00	00:58:23:00	ENSURE THAT TAXPAYERS RESIDENTS
00:58:23:00	00:58:24:00	, BUSINESS OWNERS AND EMPLOYEES
00:58:24:00	00:58:24:00	OF THE CITY OF BOSTON HAVE AN
00:58:24:00	00:58:27:00	ADVOCATE FOR HONEST AND
00:58:27:00	00:58:28:00	TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT
00:58:28:00	00:58:31:00	GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS IN THE
00:58:31:00	00:58:31:00	CITY.
00:58:31:00	00:58:34:00	AS YOU MAY KNOW AS YOU KNOW
00:58:34:00	00:58:35:00	OVER THE PAST TWO BUDGET CYCLES
00:58:35:00	00:58:39:00	HAVE ADVOCATED FOR INCREASED
00:58:39:00	00:58:40:00	FUNDING FOR INCOME AND SO THAT
00:58:40:00	00:58:42:00	THEY'RE ABLE TO HIRE MORE STAFF
00:58:42:00	00:58:46:00	TO DELIVER ON THAT MISSION.
00:58:46:00	00:58:46:00	AND WE WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY
00:58:46:00	00:58:50:00	OFFERED TO BUDGET AND IT TOOK
00:58:50:00	00:58:51:00	THESE PAST TWO CYCLES TO
00:58:51:00	00:58:53:00	INCREASE THAT BUDGET FOR FIN
00:58:53:00	00:58:56:00	COMM.
00:58:56:00	00:58:59:00	I WORRY THAT THE WORDING OF THE
00:58:59:00	00:59:00:00	PETITION CREATES THE IMPRESSION
00:59:00:00	00:59:01:00	FOR OUR RESIDENTS THAT WE DON'T
00:59:01:00	00:59:04:00	HAVE OVERSIGHT, THAT WE DON'T

01:34:17:00	01:34:17:00	IT'S WORTH HAVING A BIGGER

01:36:50:00	01:36:53:00	THEIR VOICES TO BE HEARD IN
01:36:53:00	01:36:54:00	DISTRICT CLOSER TO WHERE THEY
01:36:54:00	01:36:54:00	LIVE.
01:36:54:00	01:36:57:00	AND SO I THINK WITHOUT
01:36:57:00	01:36:58:00	ACCEPTING THESE FUNDS WE ARE
01:36:58:00	01:37:01:00	LOSING THE OPPORTUNITY TO EVEN
01:37:01:00	01:37:01:00	CONDUCT THAT PROCESS AND THEN
01:37:01:00	01:37:02:00	POTENTIALLY AS IT'S BEEN
01:37:02:00	01:37:05:00	ALREADY ALLUDED TO POTENTIALLY
01:37:05:00	01:37:09:00	LOSING MONEY AND ADVANCING THE
01:37:09:00	01:37:09:00	PROJECT ALTOGETHER.
01:37:09:00	01:37:12:00	I WOULD LOVE A FLAHERTY FOR
01:37:12:00	01:37:16:00	DESIRED OUTCOMES OF A HEARING
01:37:16:00	01:37:16:00	AND IF THERE IS SPECIFIC
01:37:16:00	01:37:17:00	INFORMATION YOU'RE HOPING TO
01:37:17:00	01:37:20:00	SOLICIT THAT HASN'T ALREADY
01:37:20:00	01:37:23:00	BEEN PROVIDED, I DO THINK THAT
01:37:23:00	01:37:27:00	PROCESS WITHOUT PURPOSE
01:37:27:00	01:37:27:00	ULTIMATELY STALLS PROGRESS SO
01:37:27:00	01:37:31:00	THAT'S KIND OF WHERE I'M AT ON
01:37:31:00	01:37:31:00	IT AND I DO WANT TO MOVE
01:37:31:00	01:37:32:00	FORWARD WITH THE VOTE TODAY.

01:38:57:00	01:38:58:00	MCCORMICK AND I WENT TO FEDERAL
01:38:58:00	01:39:02:00	COURT SO I COULD GET MARY ELLEN
01:39:02:00	01:39:05:00	MCCORMICK IN DISTRICT.
01:39:05:00	01:39:05:00	THEY'RE MY CONSTITUENTS.

01:39:12:00	01:39:13:00	THEY DESERVE TO HAVE A VOICE IN
01:39:13:00	01:39:15:00	CITY GOVERNMENT.

01:39:16:00	01:39:19:00	MY JOB IS TO REPRESENT THEM.

01:39:21:00	01:39:24:00	THAT ARE RUNNING AGAINST ME.

01:39:36:00	01:39:39:00	THIS CAN'T BE TOP DOWN.
01:39:39:00	01:39:43:00	THIS ISN'T ABOUT CHAIRS AND
01:39:43:00	01:39:46:00	PARKS AND THE MAYOR'S
01:39:46:00	01:39:46:00	ADMINISTRATION.
01:39:46:00	01:39:47:00	THIS IS ABOUT RESIDENTS HAVING
01:39:47:00	01:39:53:00	A VOICE IN CITY GOVERNMENT.

01:39:57:00	01:39:59:00	OPINION.

01:40:00:00	01:40:04:00	AN OPINION AND SPEAK ABOUT
01:40:04:00	01:40:04:00	WHAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN

01:40:38:00	01:40:41:00	DISTRICT FOR RIBBON CUTTING
01:40:41:00	01:40:44:00	CEREMONIES.
01:40:44:00	01:40:45:00	THAT'S NOT LEADERSHIP.
01:40:45:00	01:40:48:00	LEADERSHIP IS ADVOCATING FOR
01:40:48:00	01:40:49:00	THEM WHEN YOU NEED THEM WILL

01:41:07:00	01:41:08:00	BE HEARD.
01:41:08:00	01:41:08:00	THEY DESERVE TO BE TREATED WITH
01:41:08:00	01:41:09:00	RESPECT.
01:41:09:00	01:41:11:00	RESIDENTS OF PUBLIC HOUSING I
01:41:11:00	01:41:12:00	WAS OVER IT.
01:41:12:00	01:41:15:00	RUTH BARCLAY THIS MORNING

01:41:28:00	01:41:31:00	FROM VILLA VICTORIA ALSO ABOUT
01:41:31:00	01:41:34:00	THE ELEVATOR SYSTEM AND ALSO
01:41:34:00	01:41:38:00	THEM NOT HAVING THE NECESSARY

01:41:47:00	01:41:47:00	CASE THERE WAS A FIRE THE FIRE
01:41:47:00	01:41:50:00	TRUCK WOULD BE THERE.
01:41:50:00	01:41:51:00	MY POINT IS I TAKE THIS
01:41:51:00	01:41:54:00	RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY AS A
01:41:54:00	01:41:55:00	DISTRICT COUNCIL THAT

01:42:35:00	01:42:35:00	CLARIFY THAT THESE FUNDS ARE
01:42:35:00	01:42:38:00	DESIGNED TO SUPPORT A COMMUNITY

01:42:42:00	01:42:43:00	COMMENTS WILL BE INTEGRATED
01:42:43:00	01:42:43:00	INTO THE DESIGN.
01:42:43:00	01:42:46:00	I THINK IF THERE WAS A
01:42:46:00	01:42:46:00	DIFFERENT FEDERAL
01:42:46:00	01:42:47:00	ADMINISTRATION I WOULD TOTALLY
01:42:47:00	01:42:50:00	SAY HEY, LET'S LET'S TRY TO GET
01:42:50:00	01:42:50:00	AN EMERGENCY HEARING ON BOARD.
01:42:50:00	01:42:53:00	WE HAVE ALREADY LOST FEDERAL
01:42:53:00	01:42:54:00	FUNDING ON BUILDING RESILIENT

01:43:04:00	01:43:05:00	RESPECT MY COUNCIL COLLEAGUE.
01:43:05:00	01:43:05:00	WE JUST DISAGREE ON THIS POINT
01:43:05:00	01:43:06:00	BUT I THINK IT SHOULD BE VERY
01:43:06:00	01:43:09:00	CLEAR THAT RESIDENTS VOICES

01:43:17:00	01:43:17:00	IS ABOUT FUNDING AND ABOUT
01:43:17:00	01:43:21:00	GETTING THAT FUNDING IF ANYBODY
01:43:21:00	01:43:21:00	WANTED TO FILE A HEARING ORDER
01:43:21:00	01:43:25:00	TODAY THEY FILE FOR A HEARING
01:43:25:00	01:43:25:00	ON THIS MATTER THAT IS NOT
01:43:25:00	01:43:26:00	ABOUT THE GRANT ACCEPTANCE AND
01:43:26:00	01:43:28:00	YOU COULD HAVE A HEARING ANY
01:43:28:00	01:43:29:00	TIME IN THE NEXT THREE WEEKS
01:43:29:00	01:43:32:00	ABOUT THIS MATTER WITHOUT

01:43:35:00	01:43:38:00	THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
01:43:38:00	01:43:39:00	I HAVE TO AGREE WITH MY
01:43:39:00	01:43:40:00	COLLEAGUE COUNCILOR FLYNN HERE
01:43:40:00	01:43:43:00	AND ONLY BECAUSE A LOT OF MY
01:43:43:00	01:43:44:00	DISTRICT COMES RIGHT UP TO
01:43:44:00	01:43:44:00	MOBERLY FEEL BOTH BEHIND IT AND
01:43:44:00	01:43:47:00	IN FRONT AND THERE ARE A LOT
01:43:47:00	01:43:47:00	OF OTHER THINGS GOING ON
01:43:47:00	01:43:51:00	MORRISEY BOULEVARD REDESIGN AND
01:43:51:00	01:43:51:00	OTHER SUCH ISSUES THAT WILL
01:43:51:00	01:43:52:00	IMPACT WHAT LIKE IF MOBERLY
01:43:52:00	01:43:54:00	FIELD WERE TO CHANGE AND WE'RE
01:43:54:00	01:43:58:00	DOING THOSE PROCESSES NOW SO
01:43:58:00	01:43:59:00	WHILE I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH
01:43:59:00	01:44:00:00	COUNCIL LETTERS ABOUT IT AND
01:44:00:00	01:44:02:00	THAT I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THIS
01:44:02:00	01:44:02:00	MONEY AND THAT IF IT'S COMING
01:44:02:00	01:44:03:00	FROM THE FEDS WE SHOULD TAKE IT
01:44:03:00	01:44:06:00	AS IS MY QUESTION I THINK YOU
01:44:06:00	01:44:06:00	MAY HAVE JUST ANSWERED IT BUT
01:44:06:00	01:44:07:00	MY QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE CAN
01:44:07:00	01:44:10:00	WE HAVE A HEARING BASED ON THIS
01:44:10:00	01:44:13:00	DOCKET IN THE NEAR FUTURE WHILE
01:44:13:00	01:44:13:00	ACCEPTING YES.
01:44:13:00	01:44:14:00	WELL, WHILE VOTING YES TO
01:44:14:00	01:44:15:00	ACCEPT IT AND IF SO, I THINK
01:44:15:00	01:44:17:00	THE HEARING WOULD BENEFIT THE

01:44:18:00	01:44:19:00	THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PIECES
01:44:19:00	01:44:21:00	IN AND AROUND MOBERLY THAT WILL
01:44:21:00	01:44:22:00	AFFECT BOTH MY CONSTITUENTS AS
01:44:22:00	01:44:25:00	WELL AS COUNCIL FRIENDS AND ALL

01:44:37:00	01:44:40:00	DRAFT A VERY QUICK HEARING
01:44:40:00	01:44:40:00	ORDER.

01:44:46:00	01:44:48:00	MATTER.
01:44:48:00	01:44:49:00	IT DOESN'T NEED TO HOLD UP THE

01:45:41:00	01:45:41:00	SEND PEOPLE WE WANT OR ALWAYS
01:45:41:00	01:45:44:00	SUPPORTIVE BUT THEN WE CAN

01:45:53:00	01:45:53:00	AGAIN OVER THESE LAST FOUR
01:45:53:00	01:45:55:00	YEARS THAT MANY OF THE
01:45:55:00	01:45:56:00	RESIDENTS ACROSS THE CITY
01:45:56:00	01:45:56:00	OF BOSTON DO NOT FEEL LIKE
01:45:56:00	01:46:00:00	THEIR VOICES ARE HEARD AND EVEN
01:46:00:00	01:46:00:00	THOUGH DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS
01:46:00:00	01:46:03:00	CHECK BOXES OFF SAYING THAT
01:46:03:00	01:46:04:00	THEY HELD COMMUNITY HEARINGS,
01:46:04:00	01:46:07:00	THEY HAD PUBLIC HEARINGS THEY
01:46:07:00	01:46:08:00	THEY DID A ZOOM THEY SENT OUT A
01:46:08:00	01:46:11:00	FLIER OFTENTIMES MANY STILL
01:46:11:00	01:46:12:00	FEEL AS THOUGH THEY'RE NOT

01:46:16:00	01:46:19:00	WE HOLD A HEARING OR PEOPLE
01:46:19:00	01:46:19:00	WANT TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE
01:46:19:00	01:46:20:00	GRANT.
01:46:20:00	01:46:22:00	I HAVE ALREADY SUGGESTED AND I
01:46:22:00	01:46:23:00	THINK HIS OFFICE WAS ALREADY
01:46:23:00	01:46:26:00	DOING IT TO DO EXACTLY WHAT WAS
01:46:26:00	01:46:27:00	SAID IS FINALLY FILED TODAY BUT
01:46:27:00	01:46:29:00	I WOULD HOPE THAT OUR
01:46:29:00	01:46:29:00	COLLEAGUES WOULD ACTUALLY
01:46:29:00	01:46:30:00	ENGAGE AND THAT THE
01:46:30:00	01:46:30:00	ADMINISTRATION WOULD THEN WANT
01:46:30:00	01:46:33:00	TO LISTEN TO THE CONCERNS
01:46:33:00	01:46:33:00	OF THE RESIDENTS.
01:46:33:00	01:46:36:00	AND IT'S ALSO ONE LAST THING IT
01:46:36:00	01:46:37:00	IS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT TO THE
01:46:37:00	01:46:38:00	BIG PICTURE BUT FOR MANY TIMES
01:46:38:00	01:46:41:00	MYSELF INCLUDED NOT JUST THE
01:46:41:00	01:46:42:00	RESIDENTS THAT ARE AFFECTED
01:46:42:00	01:46:45:00	DIRECTLY BY THIS GRANT ANY

01:46:49:00	01:46:52:00	SOMETHING COMES ON TO OUR
01:46:52:00	01:46:52:00	COUNCIL AGENDA THAT IS OUR
01:46:52:00	01:46:53:00	ABILITY TO THEN USE OUR POWER
01:46:53:00	01:46:56:00	AND TO HOLD HEARINGS AND WORK
01:46:56:00	01:46:57:00	TOGETHER AND WHEN WE CONTINUE
01:46:57:00	01:47:00:00	TO JUST PUSH THINGS THROUGH
01:47:00:00	01:47:00:00	WE'RE NOT BEING AS EFFECTIVE AS
01:47:00:00	01:47:04:00	I THINK WE COULD IN OUR
01:47:04:00	01:47:04:00	EFFECTIVENESS IS A DIRECT
01:47:04:00	01:47:05:00	CORRELATION TO WHETHER OR NOT
01:47:05:00	01:47:09:00	THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY
01:47:09:00	01:47:09:00	OF BOSTON GET WHAT THEY
01:47:09:00	01:47:10:00	DESERVE.
01:47:10:00	01:47:10:00	THANK YOU.
01:47:10:00	01:47:11:00	THE CHAIR AND I JUST KIND
01:47:11:00	01:47:12:00	OF I'M HERE AGAIN.

01:47:12:00	01:47:15:00	AND THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES
01:47:15:00	01:47:19:00	FOR THE THE LET ME BREAK IT
01:47:19:00	01:47:20:00	DOWN FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE
01:47:20:00	01:47:21:00	PAYING ATTENTION TO THE
01:47:21:00	01:47:23:00	DYNAMICS IN THIS CHAMBER IS
01:47:23:00	01:47:24:00	THAT WE SAY WE WANT TO LISTEN
01:47:24:00	01:47:24:00	TO PEOPLE.
01:47:24:00	01:47:25:00	WE WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE A VOICE.
01:47:25:00	01:47:27:00	WE WANT TO HOLD OURSELVES
01:47:27:00	01:47:27:00	ACCOUNTABLE.
01:47:27:00	01:47:27:00	WE WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT.
01:47:27:00	01:47:30:00	BUT YET EVERY SINGLE TIME WE
01:47:30:00	01:47:31:00	HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO WE
01:47:31:00	01:47:34:00	FALL IN LINE AND JUST DO WHAT
01:47:34:00	01:47:34:00	WE ARE TOLD.
01:47:34:00	01:47:37:00	AND I THINK THAT BEHAVIOR WE
01:47:37:00	01:47:40:00	CAN'T SAY WE ARE FOR ONE THING
01:47:40:00	01:47:41:00	AND THEN ACT ANOTHER, RIGHT?
01:47:41:00	01:47:44:00	SO IF IF IF WE'RE GOING TO BE
01:47:44:00	01:47:48:00	CONSISTENT THEN THIS IS WHAT
01:47:48:00	01:47:48:00	CONSISTENCY LOOKS LIKE.
01:47:48:00	01:47:51:00	WE PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT
01:47:51:00	01:47:52:00	HEARINGS WE HAVE, WHO GETS TO
01:47:52:00	01:47:56:00	SPEAK, WHO'S GOING TO BE ON
01:47:56:00	01:47:56:00	BOARD.
01:47:56:00	01:47:58:00	AND A LOT OF THIS IS REALLY THE
01:47:58:00	01:47:59:00	DYNAMICS OF THIS PARTICULAR
01:47:59:00	01:48:00:00	BODY AND THE ADMINISTRATION
01:48:00:00	01:48:03:00	THAT WE ARE NAVIGATING IN AND
01:48:03:00	01:48:04:00	BECAUSE I CAN SPEAK WITHOUT
01:48:04:00	01:48:06:00	FEAR BECAUSE I FEAR NO ONE BUT
01:48:06:00	01:48:09:00	GOD I CAN GET UP AND SAY THAT
01:48:09:00	01:48:10:00	WE NEED TO CHANGE THE WAY WE DO
01:48:10:00	01:48:13:00	BUSINESS UP IN HERE BECAUSE.
01:48:13:00	01:48:14:00	THIS DYNAMIC, THIS PICKING AND
01:48:14:00	01:48:17:00	CHOOSING I THINK THAT AS A BODY
01:48:17:00	01:48:18:00	IF WE'RE IF SOMEBODY GETS A
01:48:18:00	01:48:22:00	COMMITTEE PLACE A HEARING PLACE
01:48:22:00	01:48:22:00	IN THEIR COMMITTEE AND THERE
01:48:22:00	01:48:25:00	SHOULD BE A STANDARD, A
01:48:25:00	01:48:26:00	PROCESS, A PROTOCOL OR A
01:48:26:00	01:48:27:00	PROCEDURE AND SOME SORT
01:48:27:00	01:48:29:00	OF ACCOUNTABILITY THAT THESE
01:48:29:00	01:48:33:00	THINGS NAVIGATE THROUGH THE
01:48:33:00	01:48:33:00	PROCESS.
01:48:33:00	01:48:34:00	OTHERWISE THIS BODY IS JUST
01:48:34:00	01:48:36:00	HERE LIKE LAME DUCKS, RIGHT?
01:48:36:00	01:48:37:00	WE DON'T REALLY DO MUCH.
01:48:37:00	01:48:40:00	WE WE PICK AND CHOOSE THE
01:48:40:00	01:48:41:00	BATTLES THAT WE WANT TO FIGHT
01:48:41:00	01:48:41:00	FOR.
01:48:41:00	01:48:44:00	WE TAKE THESE SYMBOLIC VOTES
01:48:44:00	01:48:45:00	AND I THINK THAT I UNDERSTAND
01:48:45:00	01:48:48:00	THIS ELECTION SEASON AND
01:48:48:00	01:48:48:00	EVERYBODY'S ALL EVERYBODY'S
01:48:48:00	01:48:51:00	TRYING TO YOU KNOW, SECURE
01:48:51:00	01:48:52:00	THEIR SEATS AND WHATEVER THE
01:48:52:00	01:48:52:00	CASES.
01:48:52:00	01:48:55:00	BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE
01:48:55:00	01:48:56:00	HAVE A JOB TO DO AND IF OUR JOB
01:48:56:00	01:48:59:00	IS TO GIVE PEOPLE A VOICE AND
01:48:59:00	01:48:59:00	THEN TO BRING THE VOICES OF THE
01:48:59:00	01:49:00:00	PEOPLE INTO THIS CHAMBER, THEN
01:49:00:00	01:49:03:00	WE SHOULD HONOR IT AT ALL TIMES
01:49:03:00	01:49:04:00	THAT WILL JUST AS POLITICALLY
01:49:04:00	01:49:08:00	ADVANTAGEOUS FOR US TO DO LIKE
01:49:08:00	01:49:08:00	WE HAD A CITIZENS PETITION THAT
01:49:08:00	01:49:11:00	WE HAD TO GO OVER IT TWICE.
01:49:11:00	01:49:14:00	CITIZENS WORKED ON IT TWICE AND
01:49:14:00	01:49:15:00	YET THEIR VOICES WERE NOT
01:49:15:00	01:49:15:00	HEARD.
01:49:15:00	01:49:16:00	SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW WE
01:49:16:00	01:49:19:00	KEEP SAYING WE'RE GOING TO GIVE
01:49:19:00	01:49:19:00	PEOPLE A VOICE AND THEN WHEN WE
01:49:19:00	01:49:22:00	ALLEGEDLY DO WE DON'T HEAR THEM
01:49:22:00	01:49:22:00	.
01:49:22:00	01:49:23:00	WHAT VOICE ARE WE GIVING THEM
01:49:23:00	01:49:26:00	FOR REAL Y'ALL LIKE THIS THIS
01:49:26:00	01:49:30:00	WE NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER
01:49:30:00	01:49:30:00	BECAUSE OTHERWISE PEOPLE ARE
01:49:30:00	01:49:31:00	GOING TO KEEP LAUGHING AT US
01:49:31:00	01:49:34:00	BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE ARE NOT
01:49:34:00	01:49:37:00	DEMONSTRATING POSITIVE AND BOLD
01:49:37:00	01:49:38:00	LEADERSHIP.

01:49:38:00	01:49:40:00	I WILL JUST LIKE TO STATE THAT
01:49:40:00	01:49:41:00	THE LAST TWO MONTHS I HAVE SEEN
01:49:41:00	01:49:42:00	A NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN A NUMBER
01:49:42:00	01:49:45:00	OF CHAIRS PASS MILLIONS DOLLARS
01:49:45:00	01:49:49:00	WORTH OF FUNDING SUSPENDED PASS
01:49:49:00	01:49:49:00	ESPECIALLY FOR FEDERAL GRANTS.

01:50:21:00	01:50:23:00	OF COLLEAGUES.
01:50:23:00	01:50:24:00	THEY DON'T BELIEVE MY

01:50:46:00	01:50:47:00	ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S A
01:50:47:00	01:50:47:00	MATTER OF URGENCY.
01:50:47:00	01:50:50:00	WE'VE PASSED GRANTS THAT MATTER
01:50:50:00	01:50:53:00	FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE RECENTLY
01:50:53:00	01:50:53:00	FOR $3 MILLION AND THESE ARE
01:50:53:00	01:50:54:00	IMPORTANT FEDERAL DOLLARS THAT
01:50:54:00	01:50:57:00	SHOULD NOT BE CAUGHT UP IN
01:50:57:00	01:50:57:00	POLITICS WHICH IS WHAT IS
01:50:57:00	01:50:57:00	HAPPENING.

01:51:00:00	01:51:01:00	I JUST THINK THE COMMITTEE
01:51:01:00	01:51:03:00	CHAIR IS DOING A GREAT JOB.
01:51:03:00	01:51:04:00	I HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN ON THE
01:51:04:00	01:51:07:00	RECEIVING END OF THIS TYPE
01:51:07:00	01:51:08:00	BARRAGE MENT AND I ALSO THINK
01:51:08:00	01:51:11:00	THAT THERE IS A REASON WHY THE
01:51:11:00	01:51:14:00	COMMITTEES ARE STRUCTURED THE
01:51:14:00	01:51:15:00	WAY THAT THEY ARE BECAUSE AND
01:51:15:00	01:51:19:00	IT DOES SOUND LIKE BASED ON HER
01:51:19:00	01:51:19:00	RECOLLECTION THAT SHE DID
01:51:19:00	01:51:22:00	EVERYTHING SHE COULD TO LET THE
01:51:22:00	01:51:23:00	DISTRICT COUNCILOR KNOW ABOUT
01:51:23:00	01:51:26:00	WHAT SHE WAS TRYING TO DO
01:51:26:00	01:51:26:00	TODAY.
01:51:26:00	01:51:27:00	AND I JUST THINK THE FACT THAT
01:51:27:00	01:51:30:00	ELECTIONS ARE BRINGING BROUGHT
01:51:30:00	01:51:34:00	UP IN ON THE FLOOR IT JUST
01:51:34:00	01:51:38:00	SHOWS ME THAT WE'RE ESSENTIALLY
01:51:38:00	01:51:38:00	MAKING THIS ABOUT SOMETHING
01:51:38:00	01:51:42:00	IT'S NOT IF YOU WANT TO GET UP
01:51:42:00	01:51:42:00	AND GIVE A REALLY BIG SPEECH, I
01:51:42:00	01:51:45:00	THINK YOU SHOULD GO TO CONGRESS
01:51:45:00	01:51:45:00	.
01:51:45:00	01:51:46:00	THIS IS THE CITY COUNCIL AND I
01:51:46:00	01:51:47:00	THINK THE CHAIR IS DOING A
01:51:47:00	01:51:50:00	GREAT JOB.
01:51:50:00	01:51:50:00	THANK YOU.

01:52:01:00	01:52:01:00	INDIVIDUAL CHAIR.
01:52:01:00	01:52:02:00	BUT I DO JUST WANT TO SAY

01:52:04:00	01:52:04:00	WE HAVE PASSED MANY GRANTS AND
01:52:04:00	01:52:05:00	I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT BUT

01:52:09:00	01:52:12:00	ME TO RECONSIDER AND PUT IT TO
01:52:12:00	01:52:13:00	A HEARING AND IF THEY HAD I

01:52:15:00	01:52:16:00	HAVE TO HAVE A REALLY GOOD
01:52:16:00	01:52:16:00	REASON WHY WOULDN'T I WOULD

02:05:58:00	02:05:58:00	NOT EVEN BOSTON RESIDENTS AS WE
02:05:58:00	02:05:59:00	KNOW.
02:05:59:00	02:06:01:00	HOWEVER, WE HAVE ALSO SEEN

02:06:10:00	02:06:11:00	FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS 4 TO 2
02:06:11:00	02:06:14:00	NEIGHBORING COUNTIES.
02:06:14:00	02:06:14:00	WASTE MANAGEMENT WE HAVE A
02:06:14:00	02:06:15:00	RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY

02:06:21:00	02:06:22:00	BUT SO TODAY I'M CALLING FOR
02:06:22:00	02:06:24:00	THE CREATION OF A REGIONAL
02:06:24:00	02:06:25:00	SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AND
02:06:25:00	02:06:28:00	MENTAL HEALTH FUND.
02:06:28:00	02:06:29:00	I'VE ALREADY BEEN ASKED WHAT
02:06:29:00	02:06:29:00	ARE THE DETAILS?
02:06:29:00	02:06:32:00	WHO IS INVOLVED THE DOLLAR
02:06:32:00	02:06:33:00	AMOUNT WE'RE LOOKING FOR?
02:06:33:00	02:06:34:00	BUT FOR THIS SPECIFIC AVENUE
02:06:34:00	02:06:36:00	IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE
02:06:36:00	02:06:36:00	CONVERSATION.
02:06:36:00	02:06:37:00	I HOPE TO COLLABORATE WITH ALL
02:06:37:00	02:06:40:00	THE NEIGHBORING CITIES AND
02:06:40:00	02:06:41:00	TOWNS AND ALL THE RELEVANT CITY
02:06:41:00	02:06:43:00	AND STATE AGENCIES TO
02:06:43:00	02:06:44:00	COORDINATE ACCEPTABLE SOLUTIONS
02:06:44:00	02:06:46:00	STAND UP THE APPROPRIATE
02:06:46:00	02:06:47:00	INFRASTRUCTURE AND FIGURE OUT
02:06:47:00	02:06:51:00	WHAT THESE SOLUTIONS WILL COST
02:06:51:00	02:06:51:00	.
02:06:51:00	02:06:52:00	YOU KNOW, AS I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT
02:06:52:00	02:06:54:00	THIS ISSUE AND I THINK ABOUT
02:06:54:00	02:06:55:00	BOSTON AND ITS RELATIONSHIP
02:06:55:00	02:06:55:00	WITH ITS NEIGHBORING
02:06:55:00	02:06:58:00	MUNICIPALITIES, I THINK OF THAT
02:06:58:00	02:06:59:00	AS THE MOTHER IN A HOUSEHOLD
02:06:59:00	02:07:02:00	LIKE A MOM BOSTON IS RESILIENT,
02:07:02:00	02:07:02:00	BEAUTIFUL AND CARRIES THAT
02:07:02:00	02:07:06:00	MENTAL AND OFTEN FINANCIAL LOAD
02:07:06:00	02:07:07:00	FOR THE FAMILY AROUND HER.
02:07:07:00	02:07:10:00	AND IN DOING SO SHE HAS WATCHED
02:07:10:00	02:07:11:00	THOSE AROUND HER THAT EXIST
02:07:11:00	02:07:14:00	BECAUSE OF HER GROW UP HAPPY
02:07:14:00	02:07:14:00	AND HEALTHY.
02:07:14:00	02:07:18:00	BUT AT SOME POINT THE BURDEN
02:07:18:00	02:07:18:00	BECOMES TOO HEAVY AND IT COMES
02:07:18:00	02:07:19:00	TIME TO PUT YOUR OWN DISHES
02:07:19:00	02:07:22:00	AWAY AFTER DINNER, FOLD YOUR
02:07:22:00	02:07:23:00	OWN CLOTHES, PAY YOUR OWN CELL
02:07:23:00	02:07:26:00	PHONE BILL AND WE DO SO NOT
02:07:26:00	02:07:27:00	WITH A SIGH OR BECAUSE WE'RE
02:07:27:00	02:07:29:00	FORCED TO BUT BECAUSE WE KNOW
02:07:29:00	02:07:30:00	IT'S TIME TO STEP UP.
02:07:30:00	02:07:33:00	IT'S TIME TO GIVE BACK BECAUSE
02:07:33:00	02:07:33:00	I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT
02:07:33:00	02:07:34:00	HAPPENS WHEN MOM DECIDES TO
02:07:34:00	02:07:37:00	STOP CARING THE BURDEN FOR
02:07:37:00	02:07:37:00	OTHERS.
02:07:37:00	02:07:38:00	THAT HOUSEHOLD GOES SOUTH FAST
02:07:38:00	02:07:41:00	AND THAT'S NOT BENEFICIAL FOR
02:07:41:00	02:07:43:00	ANYONE INVOLVED POLITICALLY
02:07:43:00	02:07:44:00	THIS MAY BE DIFFICULT BUT
02:07:44:00	02:07:45:00	MORALLY WE CAN ALL AGREE IT'S
02:07:45:00	02:07:47:00	THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
02:07:47:00	02:07:48:00	I URGE ALL OTHER PARTICIPANTS
02:07:48:00	02:07:51:00	TO THINK OF THAT AND POLITELY
02:07:51:00	02:07:52:00	ASK THEM TO STEP UP LEAD BY
02:07:52:00	02:07:55:00	EXAMPLE.
02:07:55:00	02:07:56:00	AND JUST LIKE AT HOME, THE MORE
02:07:56:00	02:07:59:00	HANDS THE LIGHTER THE LOAD, THE
02:07:59:00	02:08:00:00	LESSER THE COST AND THE LESSER
02:08:00:00	02:08:03:00	THE IMPACT FOR ALL.
02:08:03:00	02:08:03:00	IT'S TIME FOR A REGIONAL
02:08:03:00	02:08:04:00	SOLUTION TO A REGIONAL CRISIS.
02:08:04:00	02:08:07:00	THANK YOU, VAN PRESIDENT.
02:08:07:00	02:08:08:00	THANK YOU.

02:08:14:00	02:08:18:00	IMPORTANT LEADERSHIP ON THIS

02:08:23:00	02:08:25:00	COUNTRY.
02:08:25:00	02:08:29:00	JUST RECENTLY WE ALSO WE ALL
02:08:29:00	02:08:30:00	HEARD FROM A WELL-RESPECTED

02:08:33:00	02:08:34:00	HAPPENING NOW AT MASSACRES HAS
02:08:34:00	02:08:37:00	BEEN A FAILURE.
02:08:37:00	02:08:38:00	I THINK WE ALL AGREE ON THAT.
02:08:38:00	02:08:41:00	BUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS WE MOVE
02:08:41:00	02:08:41:00	FORWARD TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
02:08:41:00	02:08:45:00	HOWEVER, WE'VE ALLOWED AND
02:08:45:00	02:08:46:00	ENABLED THESE CONDITIONS ON THE

02:09:13:00	02:09:16:00	IN OUR FAMILIES THAT HAVE BEEN
02:09:16:00	02:09:17:00	GRIPPED BY ADDICTION.
02:09:17:00	02:09:17:00	WE ALL KNOW HOW CRITICAL IT IS
02:09:17:00	02:09:20:00	FOR THEM TO RECEIVE THE HELP
02:09:20:00	02:09:23:00	AND SUPPORT WHETHER IT'S DETOX
02:09:23:00	02:09:24:00	OR RECOVERY SERVICES.

02:09:27:00	02:09:28:00	PROBATION OFFICER WHO FOCUSED
02:09:28:00	02:09:32:00	STRICTLY ON REENTRY SERVICES, I
02:09:32:00	02:09:33:00	KNOW THAT THE RECOVERY THE

02:09:35:00	02:09:39:00	ISLAND WERE INVALUABLE.
02:09:39:00	02:09:40:00	BUT WHILE WE HAVE SOLELY
02:09:40:00	02:09:42:00	FOCUSED ON THE $100 MILLION
02:09:42:00	02:09:45:00	BUDGET ON THE LONG ISLAND
02:09:45:00	02:09:46:00	BRIDGE, WE HAVE TO REMEMBER

02:09:57:00	02:10:00:00	A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
02:10:00:00	02:10:03:00	WE NEED THE SAME FOCUS ON
02:10:03:00	02:10:04:00	WHAT'S HAPPENING AT MASS AND
02:10:04:00	02:10:08:00	CASS AND GETTING TO THE ROOT

02:16:46:00	02:16:47:00	IT'S NOT MY DISTRICT BUT I DO
02:16:47:00	02:16:50:00	WANT TO POINT TO A REALLY
02:16:50:00	02:16:50:00	IMPORTANT PART OF FEDERAL
02:16:50:00	02:16:51:00	LEGISLATION SPONSORED BY
02:16:51:00	02:16:54:00	SENATOR MARKEY THE MODERNIZING
02:16:54:00	02:16:57:00	METHADONE ACT WHICH WOULD ALLOW

02:16:58:00	02:16:58:00	PHARMACY.

02:17:09:00	02:17:12:00	WAY AND I THINK UNFORTUNATE

02:17:13:00	02:17:14:00	USED TO HAVE A METHADONE CLINIC
02:17:14:00	02:17:17:00	THAT CREATED A LOT OF ISSUES
02:17:17:00	02:17:18:00	ONCE THE METHADONE CLINIC WAS
02:17:18:00	02:17:21:00	GONE, SO WERE THE ISSUES.
02:17:21:00	02:17:25:00	IT'S NOT TO DEMONIZE ANY TYPE
02:17:25:00	02:17:25:00	OF CARE OR MEDICATION THAT
02:17:25:00	02:17:26:00	PEOPLE NEED BUT WE DO NEED TO

02:17:29:00	02:17:30:00	STRATEGIC AND WE NEED TO BE

02:18:09:00	02:18:12:00	SINCE THE OUTSET OF THIS
02:18:12:00	02:18:13:00	PANDEMIC WHEN RATS HAD THEIR
02:18:13:00	02:18:15:00	FOOD SOURCE CUT OFF FROM
02:18:15:00	02:18:16:00	RESTAURANTS WE SAW A DRAMATIC

02:24:34:00	02:24:36:00	CALL FOR A HEARING ON THIS
02:24:36:00	02:24:39:00	ISSUE.
02:24:39:00	02:24:40:00	WHERE I COME FROM THE
02:24:40:00	02:24:41:00	LEPTOSPIROSIS IS KNOWN AS
02:24:41:00	02:24:43:00	VENOUS DISEASE AND IT'S VERY.
02:24:43:00	02:24:47:00	I'VE ONLY HEARD OF A FEW CASES
02:24:47:00	02:24:48:00	IN MY LIFETIME BACK HOME BUT I
02:24:48:00	02:24:51:00	THINK I HAD A FRIEND WHO WAS
02:24:51:00	02:24:52:00	INTO WATER SPORTS.
02:24:52:00	02:24:53:00	HE WAS A COMPETITIVE KAYAKER
02:24:53:00	02:24:55:00	AND HE CONTRACTED THIS DISEASE
02:24:55:00	02:24:59:00	LEPTOSPIROSIS IN HIS EXPOSURE
02:24:59:00	02:25:02:00	TO INFECTED WATERS WHEN HE WAS
02:25:02:00	02:25:03:00	PURSUING HIS SPORTS.
02:25:03:00	02:25:06:00	SO IN THIS CASE IN THIS CONTEXT

02:29:26:00	02:29:29:00	THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.
02:29:29:00	02:29:29:00	IN WHAT I SAID LAST WEEK IS
02:29:29:00	02:29:33:00	STILL TRUE TODAY THAT TODAY
02:29:33:00	02:29:33:00	SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PAY DAY FOR
02:29:33:00	02:29:34:00	THOUSANDS OF CITY OF BOSTON
02:29:34:00	02:29:36:00	EMPLOYEES.
02:29:36:00	02:29:37:00	INSTEAD MANY WOKE UP TO EMPTY
02:29:37:00	02:29:40:00	BANK ACCOUNTS IN THE NEWS THAT
02:29:40:00	02:29:41:00	THEIR DIRECT DEPOSIT WON'T LAND
02:29:41:00	02:29:44:00	UNTIL MONDAY DAYS AFTER RENT IS
02:29:44:00	02:29:45:00	DUE, BILLS ARE PROCESSED AND
02:29:45:00	02:29:48:00	FAMILIES HAD PLANNED FOR THE
02:29:48:00	02:29:49:00	HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
02:29:49:00	02:29:52:00	I UNDERSTAND THE LOGISTICS
02:29:52:00	02:29:53:00	OF THIS KIND OF CALENDAR
02:29:53:00	02:29:55:00	CONFLICT WHEN JULY 4TH WHICH WE
02:29:55:00	02:29:56:00	KNOW IS A FEDERAL HOLIDAY LANDS
02:29:56:00	02:29:59:00	ON NOT JUST A FRIDAY BUT A PAY
02:29:59:00	02:30:02:00	DAY FRIDAY ONLY HAPPENS ONCE
02:30:02:00	02:30:02:00	EVERY 11 YEARS BUT IT'S
02:30:02:00	02:30:03:00	SOMETHING THAT WE DO KNOW IS
02:30:03:00	02:30:06:00	COMING BUT THAT'S NOT AN
02:30:06:00	02:30:06:00	EXCUSE.
02:30:06:00	02:30:07:00	IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FLAGGED
02:30:07:00	02:30:09:00	MONTHS AGO AND SOLVED BEFORE
02:30:09:00	02:30:10:00	PEOPLE WERE LEFT WITHOUT ACCESS
02:30:10:00	02:30:10:00	TO THEIR PAY.
02:30:10:00	02:30:14:00	THE REALITY IS THAT MANY OF OUR
02:30:14:00	02:30:14:00	CITY WORKERS LIVE PAYCHECK TO
02:30:14:00	02:30:15:00	PAYCHECK.
02:30:15:00	02:30:17:00	IT'S SOMETHING WE ADVOCATE AND
02:30:17:00	02:30:18:00	TALK ABOUT ALMOST EVERY WEEK ON
02:30:18:00	02:30:21:00	THIS COUNCIL.
02:30:21:00	02:30:22:00	THEIR BILLS ARE ON AUTO PAY IN
02:30:22:00	02:30:25:00	MANY PEOPLE I HEARD DIRECTLY
02:30:25:00	02:30:26:00	FROM AND IT'S IT'S NOT THAT
02:30:26:00	02:30:29:00	THEY LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK
02:30:29:00	02:30:29:00	BUT THEY MAY SPLIT THEIR
02:30:29:00	02:30:32:00	PAYCHECK AND A SMALL PORTION
02:30:32:00	02:30:33:00	GOES INTO ONE ACCOUNT AND THAT
02:30:33:00	02:30:36:00	ACCOUNT HAD AUTO PAY ON AND
02:30:36:00	02:30:37:00	SOME WERE RECEIVING THREE FOR
02:30:37:00	02:30:39:00	YOU KNOW OVER $100 AND
02:30:39:00	02:30:39:00	INSUFFICIENT FUND FEES WHEN IT
02:30:39:00	02:30:40:00	WAS A SMALL AMOUNT.
02:30:40:00	02:30:44:00	BUT THERE WAS NO WAY THEY COULD
02:30:44:00	02:30:44:00	TRANSFER MONEY BECAUSE AS WE
02:30:44:00	02:30:47:00	KNOW, 4TH OF JULY WHEN IT'S ON
02:30:47:00	02:30:48:00	A WEEKEND THE BANKS ARE SHUT SO
02:30:48:00	02:30:50:00	MANY SPENT THE DAY ON THURSDAY
02:30:50:00	02:30:51:00	BEFORE THE HOLIDAY SCRAMBLING
02:30:51:00	02:30:54:00	TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET
02:30:54:00	02:30:54:00	THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITHOUT THE
02:30:54:00	02:30:57:00	MONEY THEY EARNED.
02:30:57:00	02:30:58:00	I DID SPEAK DIRECTLY THAT DAY
02:30:58:00	02:30:59:00	WITH THE TREASURER AND KNOW SHE
02:30:59:00	02:31:01:00	AND HER TEAM WERE DOING
02:31:01:00	02:31:02:00	EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO HELP
02:31:02:00	02:31:02:00	WORKERS THAT DAY.
02:31:02:00	02:31:05:00	BUT THIS MISTAKE WAS NOT THEIRS
02:31:05:00	02:31:06:00	ALONE TO CARRY.
02:31:06:00	02:31:07:00	IT'S THE RESULT OF A FAILURE
02:31:07:00	02:31:09:00	ACROSS CITY LEADERSHIP TO PLAN
02:31:09:00	02:31:10:00	AHEAD AND PROTECT OUR WORKFORCE
02:31:10:00	02:31:13:00	FROM THIS COMPLETELY
02:31:13:00	02:31:13:00	FORESEEABLE PROBLEM.
02:31:13:00	02:31:17:00	SO NOW THE QUESTION IS WHERE
02:31:17:00	02:31:18:00	WHAT ARE WE DOING TO MAKE THIS
02:31:18:00	02:31:18:00	RIGHT?
02:31:18:00	02:31:19:00	HOW IS THE CITY GOING TO
02:31:19:00	02:31:21:00	SUPPORT IMPACTED WORKERS AND
02:31:21:00	02:31:22:00	WILL WE COVER LATE FEES?
02:31:22:00	02:31:26:00	WHAT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO
02:31:26:00	02:31:26:00	MAKE OUR CITY WORKFORCE WHOLE?
02:31:26:00	02:31:29:00	WILL WE ENSURE THIS NEVER
02:31:29:00	02:31:29:00	HAPPENS AGAIN?
02:31:29:00	02:31:30:00	I'M CALLING ON THE MAYOR AND
02:31:30:00	02:31:33:00	HER ADMINISTRATION TO TAKE
02:31:33:00	02:31:34:00	SWIFT, TRANSPARENT ACTION TO
02:31:34:00	02:31:37:00	FIX THIS NOT JUST TO EXPLAIN IT
02:31:37:00	02:31:38:00	AWAY OR TO BLAME BANKS OUR CITY
02:31:38:00	02:31:41:00	WORKERS KEEP BOSTON RUNNING.
02:31:41:00	02:31:41:00	THEY SHOULDN'T BE LEFT HOLDING
02:31:41:00	02:31:44:00	THE BAG FOR A PAYROLL FAILURE
02:31:44:00	02:31:45:00	THAT THEY HAD NO WAY TO
02:31:45:00	02:31:45:00	PREVENT.
02:31:45:00	02:31:50:00	THANK YOU.

02:33:20:00	02:33:20:00	OF CITY WORKERS.
02:33:20:00	02:33:21:00	I JUST THINK IT'S REALLY
02:33:21:00	02:33:24:00	INTERESTING I'M HAVING A MOMENT
02:33:24:00	02:33:26:00	OF REFLECTION BECAUSE WHEN I

02:33:27:00	02:33:31:00	THEN IT WAS THERE WALSH AND
02:33:31:00	02:33:35:00	COUNCIL PRESIDENT THEN JANEY

02:33:39:00	02:33:42:00	THINGS THAT HE COULD HAVE DONE
02:33:42:00	02:33:42:00	DIFFERENTLY.
02:33:42:00	02:33:45:00	AND I JUST THINK THAT THIS IS A
02:33:45:00	02:33:46:00	VERY INTERESTING MOMENT IN OUR
02:33:46:00	02:33:49:00	POLITICAL CLIMATE AND NORMALLY
02:33:49:00	02:33:53:00	THE JOB OF THE CITY COUNCIL WAS

02:34:04:00	02:34:05:00	IS HAS REMINDED ME OF THAT
02:34:05:00	02:34:09:00	ENERGY THAT WE ONCE UPON A TIME

02:34:17:00	02:34:20:00	THE END OF THE DAY OUR CITY
02:34:20:00	02:34:21:00	WORKERS LOOK TO US TO ADVOCATE
02:34:21:00	02:34:24:00	FOR THEM AND MANY OF THEM ARE
02:34:24:00	02:34:25:00	AFRAID TO EVEN SPEAK UP BECAUSE
02:34:25:00	02:34:28:00	THEY'RE AFRAID OF RETALIATION.
02:34:28:00	02:34:29:00	THEY'RE AFRAID OF OF OF PUSHING
02:34:29:00	02:34:32:00	ON A SYSTEM THAT IF THEY DO
02:34:32:00	02:34:35:00	THEY MIGHT BE KINDLY AND GENTLY
02:34:35:00	02:34:36:00	LET GO OF.
02:34:36:00	02:34:36:00	RIGHT.
02:34:36:00	02:34:39:00	SO THERE IS A LOT HERE THAT IS
02:34:39:00	02:34:42:00	HAPPENING INSIDE CITY HALL AND
02:34:42:00	02:34:43:00	WHEN WE SPEAK UP ON BEHALF
02:34:43:00	02:34:47:00	OF OUR CITY WORKERS, IT'S
02:34:47:00	02:34:47:00	BECAUSE MANY OF THEM ARE
02:34:47:00	02:34:50:00	FEELING AFRAID OF SPEAKING UP
02:34:50:00	02:34:51:00	FOR THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY
02:34:51:00	02:34:54:00	HAVE A JOB AND A FAMILY TO
02:34:54:00	02:34:54:00	PROTECT.
02:34:54:00	02:34:58:00	SO I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE
02:34:58:00	02:34:58:00	ENVIRONMENT THAT MANY PEOPLE
02:34:58:00	02:35:02:00	ARE WORKING UNDER AND I ALSO
02:35:02:00	02:35:02:00	WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE HOW
02:35:02:00	02:35:05:00	DIFFICULT IT IS FOR PEOPLE TO
02:35:05:00	02:35:06:00	ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELVES WHEN
02:35:06:00	02:35:06:00	THEY'RE AFRAID TO.

02:35:14:00	02:35:17:00	AS COUNCILOR MURPHY MENTIONED,
02:35:17:00	02:35:17:00	I WOULD ALSO PLAN TO INTRODUCE
02:35:17:00	02:35:20:00	A HEARING ORDER BY NOT FINDING
02:35:20:00	02:35:21:00	OUT THAT A SIMILAR LANGUAGE WAS
02:35:21:00	02:35:21:00	SUBMITTED.
02:35:21:00	02:35:24:00	SO TO JUST SUPPORT THIS ONE
02:35:24:00	02:35:24:00	BECAUSE OUR CITY WORKERS
02:35:24:00	02:35:27:00	DESERVE PAY DESERVE TIMELY PAY.
02:35:27:00	02:35:28:00	JULY 3RD THE CITY OF BOSTON
02:35:28:00	02:35:29:00	EMPLOYEES WERE TOLD THAT THEIR
02:35:29:00	02:35:31:00	PAYCHECKS MIGHT BE DELAYED DUE
02:35:31:00	02:35:31:00	TO THE JULY 4TH HOLIDAY.
02:35:31:00	02:35:32:00	THAT'S HONESTLY JUST
02:35:32:00	02:35:34:00	UNACCEPTABLE.
02:35:34:00	02:35:35:00	I WAS ONE OF THOSE EMPLOYEES
02:35:35:00	02:35:36:00	THAT GOT PAID ON THIS MONDAY
02:35:36:00	02:35:38:00	AND IF I FIND MYSELF STRUGGLING
02:35:38:00	02:35:39:00	TO PAY SOME BILLS I CAN ONLY
02:35:39:00	02:35:41:00	IMAGINE HOW SOME OTHER FEEL AS
02:35:41:00	02:35:42:00	WELL.
02:35:42:00	02:35:42:00	I GOT A CALL FROM A RESIDENT
02:35:42:00	02:35:46:00	WHERE THE HUSBAND IS A
02:35:46:00	02:35:46:00	FIREFIGHTER.
02:35:46:00	02:35:47:00	THE WIFE IS A TEACHER AND THE
02:35:47:00	02:35:50:00	SON OF THE CITY SUMMER EMPLOYEE
02:35:50:00	02:35:50:00	AND THEY'RE ALL PART OF THE
02:35:50:00	02:35:53:00	SAME BANK AND THAT BANK WAS NOT
02:35:53:00	02:35:54:00	ONE OF THE BANKS THAT GOT PAID
02:35:54:00	02:35:55:00	ON FRIDAY OR THURSDAY OR
02:35:55:00	02:35:55:00	WEDNESDAY.
02:35:55:00	02:35:57:00	SO LUCKILY I KNOW THAT SOME
02:35:57:00	02:35:58:00	MOVEMENTS WERE MADE TO GET THE
02:35:58:00	02:36:01:00	FIREFIGHTERS PAID AND THE IT'S
02:36:01:00	02:36:02:00	COUNCILOR FISHER MENTIONED
02:36:02:00	02:36:05:00	THERE WERE SOME THINGS DONE
02:36:05:00	02:36:06:00	THAT HE WAS ABLE TO GET PAID
02:36:06:00	02:36:09:00	BUT THAT WASN'T THE CASE FOR
02:36:09:00	02:36:09:00	EVERYONE ELSE.
02:36:09:00	02:36:10:00	SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
02:36:10:00	02:36:13:00	THAT WE ARE TAKING THIS
02:36:13:00	02:36:13:00	OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM IT TO
02:36:13:00	02:36:14:00	MAKE SURE THAT THIS DOESN'T
02:36:14:00	02:36:17:00	HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE OUR CITY
02:36:17:00	02:36:17:00	WORKERS WORK VERY HARD IN A
02:36:17:00	02:36:18:00	VERY EXPENSIVE CITY.
02:36:18:00	02:36:21:00	SO WE JUST GOT TO MAKE SURE
02:36:21:00	02:36:21:00	THAT THEY GET PAID ON TIME.

02:36:22:00	02:36:24:00	AND JUST WANT TO ECHO THAT IT'S
02:36:24:00	02:36:25:00	REALLY IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE
02:36:25:00	02:36:25:00	ARE PAID ON TIME.
02:36:25:00	02:36:28:00	SO MANY PEOPLE LIVE PAYCHECK TO
02:36:28:00	02:36:31:00	PAYCHECK AND HAVE DIRECT
02:36:31:00	02:36:35:00	DEPOSITS TAKEN OUT AND SO THIS
02:36:35:00	02:36:36:00	WAS AN HOUR AND IT'S IMPORTANT
02:36:36:00	02:36:39:00	FOR US TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND
02:36:39:00	02:36:42:00	MAKE SURE THAT OUR CITY WORKERS
02:36:42:00	02:36:43:00	WHO DO SO MUCH FOR THE CITY IN
02:36:43:00	02:36:45:00	A VERY EXPENSIVE CITY DON'T
02:36:45:00	02:36:46:00	HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS AGAIN.
02:36:46:00	02:36:50:00	SO I WANT TO YOU KNOW, TO THE
02:36:50:00	02:36:53:00	WORKERS WHO EXPERIENCED DELAYED
02:36:53:00	02:36:57:00	PAYMENT, I COMPLETELY

02:37:12:00	02:37:15:00	PART WHEN THEY REALIZED THAT
02:37:15:00	02:37:16:00	THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
02:37:16:00	02:37:16:00	BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE
02:37:16:00	02:37:19:00	PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE.
02:37:19:00	02:37:20:00	WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK

02:38:51:00	02:38:52:00	WALL BETWEEN THEM.
02:38:52:00	02:38:54:00	ARE TECHNOLOGY HASN'T KEPT PACE
02:38:54:00	02:38:58:00	UNLIKE POLICE AND FIRE DISPATCH
02:38:58:00	02:38:59:00	, EMS IS STILL OPERATING ON
02:38:59:00	02:39:02:00	OUTDATED SYSTEMS SO WHEN
02:39:02:00	02:39:02:00	RESPONSES IN RISKING PATIENT
02:39:02:00	02:39:06:00	CARE MOREOVER DESPITE CLINICAL
02:39:06:00	02:39:07:00	DUTIES.
02:39:07:00	02:39:10:00	EMS CALL TAKERS ARE PAID LESS
02:39:10:00	02:39:10:00	THAN OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS
02:39:10:00	02:39:14:00	SOMETHING THAT WILL NOT BE
02:39:14:00	02:39:15:00	DIRECTLY PART OF THIS HEARING
02:39:15:00	02:39:18:00	ORDER BUT SOMETHING THAT I DO
02:39:18:00	02:39:18:00	WANT TO CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE TO
02:39:18:00	02:39:22:00	FIX OUR EMT TELECOMMUNICATION
02:39:22:00	02:39:22:00	TOWERS DESERVE THE SAME RESPECT
02:39:22:00	02:39:26:00	IN AS MANY IN THIS ROOM NO, BUT
02:39:26:00	02:39:27:00	IF YOU DON'T KNOW OUT THERE
02:39:27:00	02:39:28:00	THAT THE CALL TAKERS WHO TAKE
02:39:28:00	02:39:30:00	IN THE CALLS THE HEALTH CALLS
02:39:30:00	02:39:33:00	ARE NOT JUST CALL THEY ARE
02:39:33:00	02:39:33:00	ACTUAL EMT.
02:39:33:00	02:39:37:00	SO SOME SHIFTS THEY MIGHT BE
02:39:37:00	02:39:40:00	OUT IN THE AMBULANCES AND SOME
02:39:40:00	02:39:41:00	TAKE SHIFTS THAT ARE INSIDE
02:39:41:00	02:39:44:00	HEADQUARTERS TAKING THE CALLS.
02:39:44:00	02:39:45:00	THEY DESERVE THE SAME RESPECT,
02:39:45:00	02:39:48:00	PAY AND TOOLS AS THEIR PEERS IN
02:39:48:00	02:39:49:00	PUBLIC SAFETY.
02:39:49:00	02:39:50:00	THAT'S WHY I AM FILING THIS
02:39:50:00	02:39:52:00	HEARING ORDER ON MODERNIZING
02:39:52:00	02:39:53:00	THE EMS DISPATCH PHONE SYSTEM,
02:39:53:00	02:39:56:00	EXAMINING ITS RELIABILITY,
02:39:56:00	02:39:57:00	STAFFING AND COMPENSATION TO
02:39:57:00	02:39:58:00	ENSURE IT MATCHES THE CRITICAL
02:39:58:00	02:40:00:00	ROLE THESE PROFESSIONALS PLAY.
02:40:00:00	02:40:04:00	I WAS TOLD AND SO SAW FIRSTHAND
02:40:04:00	02:40:04:00	THAT SOME CALLS COME IN AND
02:40:04:00	02:40:05:00	THEY NEED TO BE CALLING
02:40:05:00	02:40:08:00	DIRECTLY INTO HOSPITALS,
02:40:08:00	02:40:09:00	CHECKING WHICH EMERGENCY ROOMS
02:40:09:00	02:40:12:00	IN WHICH HOSPITALS HAVE BEDS
02:40:12:00	02:40:12:00	THAT ARE NEEDED WHEN THE SYSTEM
02:40:12:00	02:40:15:00	IS SO OUTDATED THAT THEY OFTEN
02:40:15:00	02:40:16:00	HAVE TO HANG UP AND CALL BACK
02:40:16:00	02:40:17:00	OR USE A DIFFERENT PHONE TO
02:40:17:00	02:40:17:00	FIND OUT.
02:40:17:00	02:40:19:00	SO THERE ARE DEFINITELY SYSTEMS
02:40:19:00	02:40:22:00	OUT THERE THAT WORK MUCH BETTER
02:40:22:00	02:40:23:00	AND I BELIEVE THAT NOT JUST THE
02:40:23:00	02:40:24:00	CALL TAKERS BUT THE RESIDENTS
02:40:24:00	02:40:26:00	ACROSS THE CITY OF BOSTON
02:40:26:00	02:40:27:00	DESERVE THIS.
02:40:27:00	02:40:27:00	SO LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING
02:40:27:00	02:40:31:00	THIS HEARING AND GETTING THIS
02:40:31:00	02:40:31:00	DONE FOR OUR CALL TAKERS THAT
02:40:31:00	02:40:35:00	TAKE IN OUR IMPORTANT HEALTH
02:40:35:00	02:40:35:00	ISSUES ACROSS THE CITY.

02:40:43:00	02:40:44:00	EMPLOYEES FOR THE EXEMPLARY
02:40:44:00	02:40:46:00	WORK THEY DO ON A DAILY BASIS
02:40:46:00	02:40:47:00	AND THE ROUTINE PRESSURE THAT

02:40:51:00	02:40:51:00	HEALTH CARE DESERTS IN OUR

02:40:55:00	02:40:57:00	TO LONGER RIDES.
02:40:57:00	02:40:58:00	THE LAST THING WE NEED NOW IS
02:40:58:00	02:41:02:00	AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE DESERT AS
02:41:02:00	02:41:02:00	WELL DUE TO POOR AND OUTDATED
02:41:02:00	02:41:02:00	COMMUNICATION.

02:41:13:00	02:41:13:00	FOR BACKUP.
02:41:13:00	02:41:14:00	WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE
02:41:14:00	02:41:17:00	THE RIGHT TOOLS IN PLACE FOR
02:41:17:00	02:41:17:00	EMS TO DO THEIR JOB AND

02:41:43:00	02:41:43:00	REALLY UNSUNG HEROES IN THE
02:41:43:00	02:41:47:00	CITY OF BOSTON.

02:42:06:00	02:42:09:00	A MAJOR CONCERN I HAVE.
02:42:09:00	02:42:10:00	KNOWING THAT EVERY SECOND BEING
02:42:10:00	02:42:14:00	AN AMBER VIOLENCE COULD BE LIFE
02:42:14:00	02:42:14:00	OR DEATH.

02:45:48:00	02:45:49:00	POLLINATOR FRIENDLY HABITATS
02:45:49:00	02:45:49:00	CAN SIGNIFICANTLY SUPPORT

02:46:24:00	02:46:25:00	CITIES ACROSS THE STATE AND
02:46:25:00	02:46:25:00	ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE LOOKING

02:46:28:00	02:46:28:00	RESILIENCE, BIODIVERSITY AND

03:00:16:00	03:00:17:00	IMPORTANT THAT SO MANY OF THE
03:00:17:00	03:00:20:00	FEES AND FINES THAT WE HAVE CAN
03:00:20:00	03:00:21:00	BE REALLY REGRESSIVE ON THE

03:12:52:00	03:12:53:00	STAND IN FULL SUPPORT OF THE
03:12:53:00	03:12:55:00	HARDWORKING MEMBERS OF THE

03:12:56:00	03:12:58:00	MORE PUBLIC SERVICES.
03:12:58:00	03:12:59:00	THESE WORKERS PERFORM WHAT I
03:12:59:00	03:12:59:00	CONSIDER ONE OF THE MOST
03:12:59:00	03:13:02:00	CRITICAL JOBS IN OUR CITY
03:13:02:00	03:13:03:00	KEEPING OUR STREETS, OUR
03:13:03:00	03:13:03:00	NEIGHBORHOODS AND OUR
03:13:03:00	03:13:05:00	BUSINESSES CLEAN AND SAFE.
03:13:05:00	03:13:06:00	THEIR WORK IS ESSENTIAL AND IT
03:13:06:00	03:13:09:00	DESERVES TO BE RESPECTED AND
03:13:09:00	03:13:09:00	FAIRLY COMPENSATED.
03:13:09:00	03:13:13:00	WE RELY ON THEM EVERY SINGLE
03:13:13:00	03:13:14:00	DAY AND IT'S ONLY RIGHT THAT
03:13:14:00	03:13:14:00	THEY RECEIVE THE WAGES AND THEY
03:13:14:00	03:13:15:00	REFLECT THE IMPORTANCE AND
03:13:15:00	03:13:17:00	DIGNITY OF THEIR LABOR.
03:13:17:00	03:13:18:00	I URGE YOUR PUBLIC SERVICES TO
03:13:18:00	03:13:22:00	COME TO THE TABLE IN GOOD FAITH
03:13:22:00	03:13:22:00	AND DELIVER A FAIR CONTRACT FOR

03:13:29:00	03:13:30:00	AND THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES
03:13:30:00	03:13:33:00	FOR FILING THIS RESOLUTION.
03:13:33:00	03:13:33:00	I JUST WANT TO STAND IN SUPPORT
03:13:33:00	03:13:34:00	AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO GO A
03:13:34:00	03:13:37:00	LITTLE BIT DEEPER IN REGARDS TO
03:13:37:00	03:13:37:00	KIND OF THE WORK THAT WE CAN DO
03:13:37:00	03:13:40:00	HERE ON THE CITY COUNCIL AND
03:13:40:00	03:13:41:00	ALSO THE ADMINISTRATION IS
03:13:41:00	03:13:42:00	THAT, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD BE
03:13:42:00	03:13:44:00	LOOKING AT ALL THOSE FOLKS WHO
03:13:44:00	03:13:45:00	ARE CAUSING HARM TO ANY OF OUR
03:13:45:00	03:13:47:00	WORKERS AND IF WE REALLY WANT
03:13:47:00	03:13:48:00	TO PUT AN END TO THIS, I THINK
03:13:48:00	03:13:49:00	THAT WE SHOULD WHATEVER
03:13:49:00	03:13:50:00	CONTRACTS WE HAPPEN TO HAVE
03:13:50:00	03:13:51:00	WOULD WE PUBLIC IF ANY WE
03:13:51:00	03:13:55:00	SHOULD CEASE TO HAVE THEM
03:13:55:00	03:13:55:00	RIGHT.
03:13:55:00	03:13:56:00	I THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT REAL
03:13:56:00	03:13:56:00	ACCOUNTABILITY LOOKS LIKE.
03:13:56:00	03:13:57:00	I THINK THAT THIS IS AN
03:13:57:00	03:14:00:00	OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO STAND IN
03:14:00:00	03:14:03:00	SUPPORT BUT ALSO LOOKING AT WHO
03:14:03:00	03:14:04:00	ARE THE BAD ACTORS AND WHO ARE
03:14:04:00	03:14:07:00	NOT DOING RIGHT BY OUR BY OUR
03:14:07:00	03:14:07:00	WORKERS AND GIVING THEM THE
03:14:07:00	03:14:11:00	MEMO THAT WE WILL CEASE TO DO
03:14:11:00	03:14:11:00	BUSINESS WITH THEM IF THEY
03:14:11:00	03:14:12:00	DON'T ACT ACCORDINGLY.
03:14:12:00	03:14:15:00	I THINK THAT THAT IS THE TYPE
03:14:15:00	03:14:18:00	OF LEADERSHIP AND OPPORTUNITIES
03:14:18:00	03:14:19:00	THAT WE HAVE HERE ON THE
03:14:19:00	03:14:20:00	COUNCIL AND TO SEND A MESSAGE
03:14:20:00	03:14:23:00	TO NOT JUST RESOLVE THE
03:14:23:00	03:14:23:00	CONTRACT BUT TO ALSO MAKE SURE
03:14:23:00	03:14:26:00	THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE
03:14:26:00	03:14:27:00	DOING BUSINESS HERE IN THE CITY

03:14:42:00	03:14:45:00	DRIVERS AND WE NEED TO STAND UP
03:14:45:00	03:14:48:00	AND SUPPORT ANY TIME WORKERS
03:14:48:00	03:14:48:00	ARE TRYING TO BARGAIN
03:14:48:00	03:14:49:00	COLLECTIVELY BECAUSE THAT'S THE
03:14:49:00	03:14:50:00	ONLY WAY THEY'RE GOING TO
03:14:50:00	03:14:53:00	SECURE, YOU KNOW, A LIVABLE

03:15:01:00	03:15:04:00	MAKE SURE THEY EARN A LIVABLE
03:15:04:00	03:15:04:00	WAGE.

03:15:07:00	03:15:08:00	ADMINISTRATION IN D.C. WHICH IS
03:15:08:00	03:15:11:00	STRIPPING THE ABILITY OF THE
03:15:11:00	03:15:11:00	NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
03:15:11:00	03:15:15:00	TO EVEN HANDLE DISPUTES AND SO
03:15:15:00	03:15:15:00	I THINK IT'S MORE IMPORTANT
03:15:15:00	03:15:16:00	THAN EVER THAT WE STAND UP AND
03:15:16:00	03:15:18:00	WE PUSH YOU KNOW, EMPLOYERS

03:15:35:00	03:15:37:00	FORWARD.
03:15:37:00	03:15:38:00	THIS SHOULD NOT BE A BATTLE
03:15:38:00	03:15:39:00	THAT OUR ESSENTIAL WORKERS ARE

03:16:12:00	03:16:13:00	MURPHY, COUNCIL MEMBER FOR YOU
03:16:13:00	03:16:15:00	ON THE FLOOR JUST WANTED TO
03:16:15:00	03:16:18:00	RISE AND ADD THAT TWO OF THE
03:16:18:00	03:16:18:00	DAYS THAT I WAS THERE THAT
03:16:18:00	03:16:19:00	OTHER UNION STEPPED UP.
03:16:19:00	03:16:22:00	SO THANK YOU TO THE GREATER
03:16:22:00	03:16:22:00	BOSTON LABOR COUNCIL.
03:16:22:00	03:16:23:00	BUT WHEN I WAS THERE 2 TO 3 THE
03:16:23:00	03:16:26:00	CARPENTERS AND THE PATROLMEN
03:16:26:00	03:16:26:00	BRINGING WATER BRINGING FOOD SO
03:16:26:00	03:16:29:00	IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE I KNOW
03:16:29:00	03:16:30:00	IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE SHOW UP
03:16:30:00	03:16:33:00	AND WE AS CITY LEADERS SUPPORT
03:16:33:00	03:16:33:00	THEM.
03:16:33:00	03:16:34:00	BUT THE OTHER UNION BROTHERS
03:16:34:00	03:16:37:00	AND SISTERS THAT KEEP SHOWING
03:16:37:00	03:16:37:00	UP FOR THEM IS HEARTWARMING.
03:16:37:00	03:16:38:00	SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK
03:16:38:00	03:16:41:00	YOU TO ALL OF OUR UNION MEMBERS
03:16:41:00	03:16:42:00	WHO SHOWED UP FOR EACH OTHER.
03:16:42:00	03:16:42:00	THANK YOU.
03:16:42:00	03:16:45:00	WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK
03:16:45:00	03:16:45:00	ON THIS MATTER?
03:16:45:00	03:16:46:00	I DON'T.
03:16:46:00	03:16:48:00	I WOULD ALSO JUST LIKE TO STATE
03:16:48:00	03:16:49:00	THAT THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUES
03:16:49:00	03:16:49:00	FOR PUTTING THIS FORWARD.
03:16:49:00	03:16:52:00	I ALSO WENT DOWN TO THE STRIKE
03:16:52:00	03:16:55:00	LINE ON ONE OF THE HOTTEST DAYS
03:16:55:00	03:16:56:00	WHERE PEOPLE WERE OUR WORKERS
03:16:56:00	03:16:59:00	WERE ADVOCATING RELENTLESSLY
03:16:59:00	03:17:02:00	FOR THEM TO BE TREATED FAIRLY
03:17:02:00	03:17:03:00	AND FOR THEM TO RECEIVE FAIR
03:17:03:00	03:17:07:00	WAGES AND SO IT IS ALWAYS
03:17:07:00	03:17:10:00	FRUSTRATING WHEN BIG BOSSES PUT
03:17:10:00	03:17:11:00	PROFIT BEFORE PEOPLE AND THERE
03:17:11:00	03:17:15:00	WOULD NOT BE REPUBLIC SERVICES
03:17:15:00	03:17:15:00	IF THERE WEREN'T WORKERS WHO
03:17:15:00	03:17:18:00	ARE WORKING SO HARD EVERY DAY
03:17:18:00	03:17:22:00	TO CREATE THE PROFIT TO CREATE
03:17:22:00	03:17:23:00	THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
03:17:23:00	03:17:26:00	OF PROFIT THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO
03:17:26:00	03:17:27:00	LIVE LAVISHLY OFF OF.
03:17:27:00	03:17:31:00	AND SO THIS AND I REMEMBER
03:17:31:00	03:17:31:00	HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH FOLKS
03:17:31:00	03:17:33:00	WERE LIKE WE'VE WE'VE WE'VE
03:17:33:00	03:17:34:00	WORKED HERE FOR YEARS AND
03:17:34:00	03:17:35:00	CHOSEN NOT TO GO TO OTHER
03:17:35:00	03:17:37:00	COMPANIES BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH
03:17:37:00	03:17:38:00	WE CARE ABOUT WORK AND THERE'S
03:17:38:00	03:17:38:00	ALWAYS A DISPROPORTIONATE
03:17:38:00	03:17:41:00	AMOUNT WHEN IT'S WHEN WE'RE
03:17:41:00	03:17:41:00	TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH WORKERS
03:17:41:00	03:17:44:00	CARE ABOUT THEIR JOBS AND HOW
03:17:44:00	03:17:45:00	MUCH THEY'RE COMPENSATED.
03:17:45:00	03:17:45:00	AND SO IT JUST FEELS
03:17:45:00	03:17:48:00	UNCONSCIONABLE WHEN PEOPLE ARE
03:17:48:00	03:17:52:00	POCKETING SO MUCH PROFIT TO NOT
03:17:52:00	03:17:53:00	SHARE THAT WEALTH WITH WORKERS
03:17:53:00	03:17:54:00	WHO OTHER REASONS THAT THEY ARE
03:17:54:00	03:17:56:00	ABLE TO MAKE THAT PROFIT.
03:17:56:00	03:18:00:00	WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PENNIES ON
03:18:00:00	03:18:00:00	THE DOLLAR WHEN IT COMPARES TO
03:18:00:00	03:18:01:00	THE MONEY THAT PEOPLE ARE
03:18:01:00	03:18:03:00	POCKETING.
03:18:03:00	03:18:07:00	AND SO THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT
03:18:07:00	03:18:07:00	MATTERS.
03:18:07:00	03:18:08:00	I KNOW TO ALL OF US HERE ON THE
03:18:08:00	03:18:09:00	BOSTON CITY COUNCIL AND WE'RE
03:18:09:00	03:18:09:00	TALKING ABOUT OUR WORKERS YOU
03:18:09:00	03:18:14:00	KNOW, I WANT TO THANK TEAMSTERS
03:18:14:00	03:18:15:00	AND LOCAL 25 FOR THE WAY THAT
03:18:15:00	03:18:16:00	THEY SHOWED UP SHOW UP FOR
03:18:16:00	03:18:17:00	WORKERS ALL THE TIME WHO ARE
03:18:17:00	03:18:17:00	BEING ABUSED BY PROFIT MAKERS
03:18:17:00	03:18:21:00	WHICH INCLUDES MY SISTER WHOSE
03:18:21:00	03:18:25:00	WORKPLACE WAS SUFFERING FROM
03:18:25:00	03:18:25:00	UNFAIR WAGES UNTIL MY SISTER
03:18:25:00	03:18:28:00	STARTED ORGANIZING WITH LOCAL
03:18:28:00	03:18:29:00	25 TO STAND IN THE GAP AND SAY
03:18:29:00	03:18:33:00	THAT WE DESERVE SOME OF THIS
03:18:33:00	03:18:33:00	PROFIT AS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
03:18:33:00	03:18:34:00	MAKING YOU ALL THIS MONEY.
03:18:34:00	03:18:37:00	SO MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE
03:18:37:00	03:18:37:00	OTHER WORKERS WHO WERE THERE ON
03:18:37:00	03:18:38:00	STRIKE ON A REALLY HOT DAY AND

03:32:20:00	03:32:21:00	VIBRANT SPORTS CULTURE IS
03:32:21:00	03:32:25:00	DEEPLY INTEGRATED INTO OUR THE
03:32:25:00	03:32:25:00	FABRIC OF OUR CITY.

03:32:28:00	03:32:29:00	ME CALL DISTRICT THE CAPITAL
03:32:29:00	03:32:29:00	OF FUN.
03:32:29:00	03:32:32:00	WHAT COULD BE MORE FUN THAN A
03:32:32:00	03:32:33:00	WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM IN
03:32:33:00	03:32:33:00	BOSTON?
03:32:33:00	03:32:36:00	WOMEN'S SPORTS ARE FINALLY
03:32:36:00	03:32:37:00	RECEIVING THE ATTENTION THEY
03:32:37:00	03:32:40:00	HAVE LONG DESERVED WITH RISING
03:32:40:00	03:32:40:00	POPULARITY, MEDIA COVERAGE AND
03:32:40:00	03:32:43:00	RECORD BREAKING VIEWERSHIP.
03:32:43:00	03:32:44:00	FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS THE WNBA
03:32:44:00	03:32:46:00	HAS BEEN A NATIONAL LEADER FOR
03:32:46:00	03:32:47:00	PROMOTING EQUITY, SOCIAL
03:32:47:00	03:32:50:00	JUSTICE AND REPRESENTATION.
03:32:50:00	03:32:51:00	BUT WE ALL REMEMBER THAT
03:32:51:00	03:32:51:00	PICTURE OF WHAT THE MEN'S
03:32:51:00	03:32:54:00	LOCKER ROOM LOOK LIKE AND WHAT
03:32:54:00	03:32:55:00	THE WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM LOOKED
03:32:55:00	03:32:58:00	LIKE DURING A WNBA FINALS.
03:32:58:00	03:32:58:00	THAT WON'T HAPPEN IN BOSTON.
03:32:58:00	03:33:02:00	WE VALUE WOMEN'S SPORTS AND AS
03:33:02:00	03:33:03:00	SOMEONE WHO GOT TO DRAW UP THE

03:33:11:00	03:33:11:00	COMMERCIAL.
03:33:11:00	03:33:13:00	IF YOU GUYS HAVEN'T SEEN IT I
03:33:13:00	03:33:14:00	CARE DEEPLY ABOUT WOMEN'S
03:33:14:00	03:33:17:00	SPORTS GETTING THE TREATMENT
03:33:17:00	03:33:18:00	THAT THEY DESERVE.
03:33:18:00	03:33:21:00	AND I THINK THIS IS A STEP IN
03:33:21:00	03:33:21:00	THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

03:34:07:00	03:34:07:00	THAT MOMENT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN
03:34:07:00	03:34:08:00	BUT IT WAS STILL GREAT THAT
03:34:08:00	03:34:10:00	EITHER YOUNG BLACK GIRL HAD
03:34:10:00	03:34:14:00	OTHER ROLE MODELS IN SPORTS TO
03:34:14:00	03:34:14:00	LOOK UP TO.
03:34:14:00	03:34:15:00	AND I REMEMBER WHEN TERESA

03:34:41:00	03:34:42:00	SAW HOW SONALI THEN WHEN SHE

03:40:14:00	03:40:15:00	THIS JULY 4TH WE HAD THE
03:40:15:00	03:40:16:00	OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON WHY
03:40:16:00	03:40:20:00	WE FOUGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE THE
03:40:20:00	03:40:23:00	DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
03:40:23:00	03:40:24:00	REFERS TO LIBERTY BUT AS WE
03:40:24:00	03:40:26:00	KNOW LIBERTY WOULD NOT BE FOR
03:40:26:00	03:40:27:00	EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES
03:40:27:00	03:40:28:00	AND INSTEAD DEPENDED ON THE
03:40:28:00	03:40:30:00	COLOR OF YOUR SKIN.
03:40:30:00	03:40:31:00	AT ITS CORE, HOWEVER, THIS WAS
03:40:31:00	03:40:34:00	A FIGHT AGAINST MONARCHY AND
03:40:34:00	03:40:35:00	AFTER BOSTON LED THE NATION IN
03:40:35:00	03:40:35:00	REBELLION.
03:40:35:00	03:40:38:00	WE ARE FREE FROM THE RULE
03:40:38:00	03:40:38:00	OF KINGS.
03:40:38:00	03:40:42:00	IN ITS PLACE WE CONSTRUCTED A
03:40:42:00	03:40:42:00	GOVERNMENT THAT WOULD NOT HAVE
03:40:42:00	03:40:43:00	A KING AND WOULD SEEK TO
03:40:43:00	03:40:46:00	PREVENT POWER FROM BEING
03:40:46:00	03:40:46:00	ACCUMULATED IN ONE PERSON.
03:40:46:00	03:40:49:00	MONTESQUIEU IS CREDITED WITH
03:40:49:00	03:40:50:00	OUTLINING A GOVERNMENT WITH
03:40:50:00	03:40:53:00	THREE POWERS THAT OF ENACTING
03:40:53:00	03:40:54:00	LAWS THAT OF EXECUTING THE

03:40:58:00	03:40:58:00	OF INDIVIDUALS.
03:40:58:00	03:40:59:00	THE FRAMERS OF THE CONSTITUTION
03:40:59:00	03:41:02:00	SOUGHT TO CREATE A FEDERAL
03:41:02:00	03:41:02:00	GOVERNMENT THAT SEPARATED THESE
03:41:02:00	03:41:06:00	POWERS AMONG CONGRESS, THE
03:41:06:00	03:41:06:00	EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND THE COURTS
03:41:06:00	03:41:10:00	CREATED A SYSTEM CHECKS AND
03:41:10:00	03:41:10:00	BALANCES THAT WOULD PREVENT ONE
03:41:10:00	03:41:14:00	BRANCH FROM ACCUMULATING ALL
03:41:14:00	03:41:14:00	OF THE POWER.
03:41:14:00	03:41:16:00	AS JAMES MADISON WROTE IN
03:41:16:00	03:41:17:00	FEDERALS PAPER NUMBER 47 THE
03:41:17:00	03:41:20:00	ACCUMULATION OF ALL POWERS
03:41:20:00	03:41:20:00	LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE AND
03:41:20:00	03:41:21:00	JUDICIARY IN THE SAME HANDS.
03:41:21:00	03:41:24:00	MAYBE JUST JUSTLY PRONOUNCED
03:41:24:00	03:41:28:00	THE VERY DEFINITION OF TYRANNY
03:41:28:00	03:41:28:00	THE SYSTEM OF CHECKS AND
03:41:28:00	03:41:28:00	BALANCES.
03:41:28:00	03:41:32:00	HOWEVER, IS NOT WORKING TODAY.
03:41:32:00	03:41:35:00	THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
03:41:35:00	03:41:35:00	THE FIRST TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
03:41:35:00	03:41:38:00	AND THE SECOND IS THAT NOW
03:41:38:00	03:41:39:00	PRESIDENT TRUMP IS
03:41:39:00	03:41:39:00	UNRESTRAINED.
03:41:39:00	03:41:39:00	IT'S HARD.
03:41:39:00	03:41:45:00	IT'S TO BELIEVE THAT DURING HIS
03:41:45:00	03:41:45:00	FIRST ADMINISTRATION WHEN THE
03:41:45:00	03:41:46:00	PRESIDENT PRESIDENT TRUMP
03:41:46:00	03:41:49:00	SOUGHT TO SEND U.S. MILITARY

03:41:53:00	03:41:54:00	WERE PROTESTING THE MURDER
03:41:54:00	03:41:57:00	OF GEORGE FLOYD.
03:41:57:00	03:41:57:00	HIS OWN DEFENSE SECRETARY
03:41:57:00	03:42:00:00	OPPOSED HIM SAYING THE OPTION
03:42:00:00	03:42:01:00	TO USE ACTIVE DUTY FORCES IN A
03:42:01:00	03:42:02:00	LAW ENFORCEMENT ROLE SHOULD
03:42:02:00	03:42:04:00	ONLY USED AS A MATTER OF LAST
03:42:04:00	03:42:05:00	RESORT AND ONLY IN THE MOST
03:42:05:00	03:42:08:00	URGENT AND DIRE SITUATIONS.
03:42:08:00	03:42:09:00	WE ARE NOT IN ONE OF THOSE
03:42:09:00	03:42:11:00	SITUATIONS.
03:42:11:00	03:42:12:00	NOW HOWEVER, THE GUARDRAILS ARE
03:42:12:00	03:42:13:00	OFF AND THE TRUMP
03:42:13:00	03:42:15:00	ADMINISTRATION OTHER THINGS HAS
03:42:15:00	03:42:16:00	USED THE INSURRECTION ACT TO
03:42:16:00	03:42:20:00	SEND AMERICAN TROOPS INTO OUR
03:42:20:00	03:42:20:00	OWN CITIES.
03:42:20:00	03:42:23:00	NO PRESIDENT HAS INVOKED THE
03:42:23:00	03:42:23:00	INSURRECTION ACT AGAINST A
03:42:23:00	03:42:24:00	STATE'S WISHES SINCE LYNDON
03:42:24:00	03:42:27:00	JOHNSON DID SO TO PROVIDE
03:42:27:00	03:42:27:00	PROTECTION FOR CIVIL RIGHTS
03:42:27:00	03:42:30:00	ACTIVISTS IN ALABAMA WHO WERE
03:42:30:00	03:42:31:00	BEATEN BY POLICE OFFICERS WHILE
03:42:31:00	03:42:35:00	TRYING TO MARCH FROM SELMA TO
03:42:35:00	03:42:36:00	MONTGOMERY IN 1865.
03:42:36:00	03:42:39:00	DESPITE A LOWER COURT'S RULING,

03:42:43:00	03:42:43:00	INSURRECTION ACT WAS ILLEGAL.
03:42:43:00	03:42:46:00	THE NINTH CIRCUIT OVERTURNED
03:42:46:00	03:42:46:00	THAT RULING AND HAS ALLOWED
03:42:46:00	03:42:48:00	TROOPS TO REMAIN UNDER DONALD
03:42:48:00	03:42:52:00	TRUMP'S CONTROL.
03:42:52:00	03:42:53:00	ON MONDAY, A LARGE GROUP
03:42:53:00	03:42:53:00	OF SOLDIERS MARCHED ON

03:42:56:00	03:42:56:00	PARK IN LOS ANGELES WHERE
03:42:56:00	03:42:57:00	CHILDREN WERE PLAYING.
03:42:57:00	03:42:59:00	WAS THAT 3 MINUTES?

03:43:16:00	03:43:17:00	THAT THEY DID NOT SEE A SUPREME
03:43:17:00	03:43:20:00	COURT CASE THAT WOULD ALLOW
03:43:20:00	03:43:21:00	THEM TO EVEN CHALLENGE IT EVEN
03:43:21:00	03:43:22:00	THOUGH THERE'S NO FACTUAL BASIS

03:43:43:00	03:43:44:00	WOULD DEFUND TAKE MONEY AWAY

03:44:28:00	03:44:28:00	CREATOR THAT GREW THE AMERICAN
03:44:28:00	03:44:29:00	REVOLUTION REVOLUTION AGAINST

03:44:36:00	03:44:39:00	THEY CLOSED COMMERCIAL COURTS

03:44:48:00	03:44:48:00	WERE DESIGNED TO COMPEL THE

03:44:57:00	03:44:59:00	SPARKED THE FLAME OF THE

03:45:04:00	03:45:06:00	BOSTONIAN.
03:45:06:00	03:45:07:00	THESE DAYS IT SEEMS THAT THE

03:45:08:00	03:45:10:00	ITS POWER TO DO MUCH OF THE
03:45:10:00	03:45:11:00	SAME WHETHER IT'S USING THE

03:45:26:00	03:45:26:00	INCREASINGLY LOOKS MORE LIKE A
03:45:26:00	03:45:27:00	RULE UNDER KING GEORGE THAN
03:45:27:00	03:45:30:00	UNDER THE CONSTITUTION.
03:45:30:00	03:45:31:00	WHILE OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
03:45:31:00	03:45:31:00	CONTINUES TO STRAY AWAY FROM

03:46:08:00	03:46:11:00	TOGETHER IN A VERY MUCH A NO
03:46:11:00	03:46:12:00	KING'S FASHION TO PUSH BACK

03:46:19:00	03:46:22:00	THAT THE MASS ENERGY IS WHAT'S
03:46:22:00	03:46:23:00	NEEDED AT THE MOMENT.
03:46:23:00	03:46:24:00	COUNCILOR ERROL, YOU HAVE THE
03:46:24:00	03:46:26:00	FLOOR.

03:46:27:00	03:46:30:00	THANK YOU TO THE COUNCIL MEMBER

03:46:37:00	03:46:38:00	A MORE FITTING TIME.
03:46:38:00	03:46:40:00	I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THE
03:46:40:00	03:46:41:00	FACT THAT THE 4TH OF JULY JUST
03:46:41:00	03:46:44:00	OCCURRED OR WE ARE NOW ON THE
03:46:44:00	03:46:47:00	EVE OF OUR COUNTRY'S 250TH
03:46:47:00	03:46:47:00	BIRTHDAY.
03:46:47:00	03:46:48:00	AS MY COLLEAGUE STATED SO WELL,
03:46:48:00	03:46:50:00	OUR STATE'S CONSTITUTION WAS
03:46:50:00	03:46:51:00	THE ORIGINAL BLUEPRINT FOR THE
03:46:51:00	03:46:54:00	US CONSTITUTION BUT ME THAT
03:46:54:00	03:46:54:00	SAYS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT
03:46:54:00	03:46:58:00	LEADERSHIP IS INHERENT TO OUR
03:46:58:00	03:46:58:00	CITY AS THE WATER OF THE
03:46:58:00	03:46:58:00	CHARLES.
03:46:58:00	03:47:01:00	IF WE WANT TO KEEP LEADING IN
03:47:01:00	03:47:02:00	MEDICINE AND BIOTECH AND
03:47:02:00	03:47:05:00	EDUCATION AND DEMOCRACY ITSELF
03:47:05:00	03:47:06:00	WE HAVE TO BE JUST AS COMMITTED
03:47:06:00	03:47:09:00	TO PROTECTING OUR VALUES AS WE
03:47:09:00	03:47:09:00	ARE TO OUR PROGRESS.
03:47:09:00	03:47:10:00	THAT MEANS BEING CLEAR ON WHAT
03:47:10:00	03:47:12:00	OUR US CONSTITUTION ACTUALLY
03:47:12:00	03:47:13:00	STANDS FOR.
03:47:13:00	03:47:16:00	IT MEANS PUSHING BACK ON
03:47:16:00	03:47:17:00	MISINFORMATION THAT TRIES TO
03:47:17:00	03:47:20:00	DIVIDE AND DISTRACT US AND IT
03:47:20:00	03:47:21:00	MEANS MAKING SURE OUR KIDS, OUR
03:47:21:00	03:47:21:00	NEIGHBORS AND FUTURE
03:47:21:00	03:47:24:00	GENERATIONS UNDERSTAND THE
03:47:24:00	03:47:24:00	IMPORTANCE OF THINGS LIKE
03:47:24:00	03:47:27:00	CHECKS AND BALANCES, INDIVIDUAL
03:47:27:00	03:47:28:00	RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF CHOICE.

03:47:32:00	03:47:32:00	PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEIR RIGHTS
03:47:32:00	03:47:35:00	WILL BE RESPECTED, THAT THE
03:47:35:00	03:47:36:00	GOVERNMENT WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE.
03:47:36:00	03:47:37:00	THAT'S THE STANDARD WE SET AND
03:47:37:00	03:47:40:00	THAT'S THE BAR WE HAVE TO KEEP
03:47:40:00	03:47:40:00	MEETING.

03:48:17:00	03:48:18:00	TO LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE.
03:48:18:00	03:48:18:00	LIMITED GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENT
03:48:18:00	03:48:22:00	HAS ONLY THE POWERS THAT THE
03:48:22:00	03:48:22:00	CONSTITUTION GIVES IT.

03:48:36:00	03:48:37:00	OF THE OTHER WHICH SOMETHING
03:48:37:00	03:48:40:00	THAT I THINK WE NEED TO START
03:48:40:00	03:48:41:00	LEARNING HOW TO DO EVEN HERE.
03:48:41:00	03:48:44:00	FEDERALISM.
03:48:44:00	03:48:45:00	DIVISION OF POWER BETWEEN THE
03:48:45:00	03:48:45:00	FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE
03:48:45:00	03:48:45:00	STATES.
03:48:45:00	03:48:48:00	YEAH.
03:48:48:00	03:48:48:00	REPUBLICANISM.
03:48:48:00	03:48:49:00	CITIZENS ELECT REPRESENTATIVES
03:48:49:00	03:48:52:00	TO CARRY OUT THEIR WILL.

03:48:55:00	03:48:59:00	CARRY OUT THEIR WILL BUT YET
03:48:59:00	03:48:59:00	WHEN WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
03:48:59:00	03:49:03:00	DO SO WE NEGLECT TO RISE TO THE
03:49:03:00	03:49:07:00	OCCASION AS PREVIOUSLY
03:49:07:00	03:49:07:00	EXPERIENCED IN THE EARLIER PART
03:49:07:00	03:49:10:00	OF OUR TIME TOGETHER.
03:49:10:00	03:49:11:00	AND I AND I THINK IT'S REALLY
03:49:11:00	03:49:14:00	IMPORTANT AS AS AS WE CONTINUE
03:49:14:00	03:49:15:00	TO NAVIGATE THE POLITICAL
03:49:15:00	03:49:18:00	CLIMATE THAT WE FIND OURSELVES
03:49:18:00	03:49:18:00	IN.
03:49:18:00	03:49:19:00	I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
03:49:19:00	03:49:19:00	FOR US TO UNDERSTAND THAT LOCAL
03:49:19:00	03:49:22:00	GOVERNMENT AND THE WAY THAT WE
03:49:22:00	03:49:23:00	SHOW UP IN THIS SPACE, IN THE
03:49:23:00	03:49:26:00	WAY WE UTILIZE OUR MICROPHONE

03:49:30:00	03:49:30:00	DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.
03:49:30:00	03:49:33:00	PEOPLE PUT US IN THESE SEATS SO
03:49:33:00	03:49:34:00	THAT WE CAN CHAMPION THEIR
03:49:34:00	03:49:35:00	VOICES AND I THINK IT'S REALLY
03:49:35:00	03:49:38:00	IMPORTANT FOR US TO START
03:49:38:00	03:49:38:00	DEMONSTRATING THAT LEADERSHIP
03:49:38:00	03:49:41:00	HERE LOCALLY SO THAT WE CAN
03:49:41:00	03:49:42:00	START YOU CONTINUE TO SOUND THE
03:49:42:00	03:49:44:00	ALARM NATIONALLY.
03:49:44:00	03:49:48:00	SO AS AN ADVOCATE FOR US AS WE
03:49:48:00	03:49:49:00	TO FIGHT FOR THE THINGS THAT
03:49:49:00	03:49:49:00	ARE HAPPENING ON THE FEDERAL
03:49:49:00	03:49:52:00	LEVEL FOR US TO BE MINDFUL
03:49:52:00	03:49:53:00	OF HOW WE'RE SHOWING UP HERE ON
03:49:53:00	03:49:56:00	THE LOCAL LEVEL IF WE SEE FOR
03:49:56:00	03:49:57:00	THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE THEN
03:49:57:00	03:49:59:00	WE SHOULD REALLY BE ABOUT THE
03:49:59:00	03:50:00:00	PEOPLE AND DEMONSTRATE THEIR
03:50:00:00	03:50:03:00	WILL WHEN THEY ASK US TO FIGHT
03:50:03:00	03:50:04:00	ON THEIR BEHALF.
03:50:04:00	03:50:07:00	AND UNTIL WE START DOING THAT I
03:50:07:00	03:50:08:00	JUST THINK THAT, YOU KNOW,
03:50:08:00	03:50:10:00	THESE SORT OF THINGS MAKE
03:50:10:00	03:50:11:00	ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE FOR THOSE
03:50:11:00	03:50:12:00	FOLKS WHO ARE TRYING TO

04:09:33:00	04:09:36:00	SUBJECT TO MORE SCRUTINY THAN
04:09:36:00	04:09:36:00	EVER BEFORE.
04:09:36:00	04:09:39:00	BUT NOT JUST ABOUT MY WORK MY
04:09:39:00	04:09:39:00	PARENTS.
04:09:39:00	04:09:40:00	I'VE STRUGGLED WITH MY HEALTH
04:09:40:00	04:09:43:00	IN MOST OF MY ADULT LIFE AND
04:09:43:00	04:09:44:00	I'VE NEVER HAD SO MANY PEOPLE
04:09:44:00	04:09:44:00	COMMENTING ON MY THAT I HAVE
04:09:44:00	04:09:47:00	THE LAST TWO YEARS.
04:09:47:00	04:09:51:00	SO I DECIDED TO MAKE A CHANGE.
04:09:51:00	04:09:51:00	I DECIDED TO INVEST IN MY
04:09:51:00	04:09:52:00	HEALTH AND THIS MEDICATION HAS
04:09:52:00	04:09:55:00	BEEN TRANSFER RATIONAL FOR ME.
04:09:55:00	04:09:55:00	I SHARE THIS PERSONAL STORY NOT
04:09:55:00	04:09:58:00	TO MAKE THIS ABOUT ME BUT
04:09:58:00	04:09:59:00	BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH STIGMA
04:09:59:00	04:10:02:00	AROUND THESE CONVERSATIONS AND
04:10:02:00	04:10:03:00	MISUNDERSTANDINGS SURROUNDING
04:10:03:00	04:10:03:00	THESE MEDICATIONS.
04:10:03:00	04:10:06:00	I WANT FOLKS TO KNOW THAT THEY
04:10:06:00	04:10:07:00	ARE NOT ALONE.
04:10:07:00	04:10:10:00	WHEN I WENT TO MY PCP I WAS MET
04:10:10:00	04:10:10:00	WITH COMPASSION, NOT STIGMA.
04:10:10:00	04:10:14:00	DR. MESMER DID HER JOB TO
04:10:14:00	04:10:14:00	SUPPORT ME AS HER PATIENT.
04:10:14:00	04:10:17:00	SHE HELPED ME WITH MY HEALTH
04:10:17:00	04:10:21:00	AND SHE UNDERSTOOD HER HER HER
04:10:21:00	04:10:25:00	ABILITY TO DO NO HARM.
04:10:25:00	04:10:25:00	GLP ONE MEDICATIONS LIKE WE'LL
04:10:25:00	04:10:29:00	GO VS FOUND AND THOSE EPIC ARE
04:10:29:00	04:10:29:00	NOT COSMETIC OR VANITY DRUGS
04:10:29:00	04:10:32:00	THEY ARE REAL TREATMENTS FOR
04:10:32:00	04:10:32:00	REAL DISEASES.
04:10:32:00	04:10:33:00	THEY ARE HELPING PEOPLE ACROSS
04:10:33:00	04:10:36:00	THE CITY AND ACROSS THE
04:10:36:00	04:10:36:00	COMMONWEALTH MANAGE OBESITY,
04:10:36:00	04:10:40:00	REVERSE DIABETES PROGRESSION
04:10:40:00	04:10:40:00	LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE AND
04:10:40:00	04:10:41:00	PREVENT LONG TERM COMPLICATIONS
04:10:41:00	04:10:44:00	THAT DEVASTATE FAMILIES AND
04:10:44:00	04:10:44:00	BANKRUPT OUR HEALTH CARE
04:10:44:00	04:10:45:00	SYSTEM.
04:10:45:00	04:10:47:00	AND YET INSTEAD OF EXPANDING
04:10:47:00	04:10:48:00	ACCESS WE ARE WATCHING ACCESS
04:10:48:00	04:10:49:00	TO THESE MEDICATIONS BE
04:10:49:00	04:10:52:00	STRIPPED AWAY.
04:10:52:00	04:10:52:00	LAST WEEK THE GOVERNOR DIRECTED
04:10:52:00	04:10:55:00	THE GROUP INSURANCE COMMISSION
04:10:55:00	04:10:56:00	TO ELIMINATE COVERAGE OF JOB
04:10:56:00	04:10:56:00	ONE'S FOR WEIGHT LOSS.
04:10:56:00	04:10:59:00	BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD HAS
04:10:59:00	04:11:00:00	ANNOUNCED THEY DO THE SAME AND
04:11:00:00	04:11:03:00	I'VE HEARD FROM CITY WORKERS
04:11:03:00	04:11:04:00	ALREADY THAT THEY HAVE LOST
04:11:04:00	04:11:04:00	ACCESS TO THAT FOUND.
04:11:04:00	04:11:07:00	STARTING JULY ONE THIS MEANS
04:11:07:00	04:11:10:00	THAT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
04:11:10:00	04:11:10:00	HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PUBLIC
04:11:10:00	04:11:11:00	WORKERS INCLUDING CITY
04:11:11:00	04:11:14:00	EMPLOYEES RIGHT HERE IN BOSTON
04:11:14:00	04:11:15:00	WILL NOT HAVE THEIR DOCTOR GET
04:11:15:00	04:11:18:00	TO CHOOSE WHETHER THEY SHOULD
04:11:18:00	04:11:19:00	HAVE ACCESS TO A DRUG THAT WE
04:11:19:00	04:11:19:00	KNOW WORKS.
04:11:19:00	04:11:22:00	THEY WILL LOSE ACCESS TO THE
04:11:22:00	04:11:22:00	CARE THEY NEED SIMPLY BECAUSE
04:11:22:00	04:11:23:00	THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT.
04:11:23:00	04:11:25:00	SERVING ON THE BOSTON CITY
04:11:25:00	04:11:26:00	COUNCIL, I WITNESSED FIRSTHAND
04:11:26:00	04:11:29:00	HOW HEALTH DISPARITIES IMPACT
04:11:29:00	04:11:29:00	OUR COMMUNITIES PARTICULARLY
04:11:29:00	04:11:30:00	THOSE WITH LESS ACCESS TO
04:11:30:00	04:11:33:00	QUALITY CARE AND WHERE ACCESS
04:11:33:00	04:11:34:00	TO QUALITY OF CARE IS ALREADY
04:11:34:00	04:11:36:00	LIMITED AT A TIME WHEN MEDICARE
04:11:36:00	04:11:40:00	AND MEDICAID ARE FACING FEDERAL
04:11:40:00	04:11:40:00	FUNDING CUTS.
04:11:40:00	04:11:44:00	IT'S MOST IMPORTANT THAT US AS
04:11:44:00	04:11:44:00	A PUBLIC BODY UNDERSTAND OUR
04:11:44:00	04:11:47:00	ABILITY TO ADVOCATE FOR
04:11:47:00	04:11:48:00	RESIDENTS AND THESE DECISIONS
04:11:48:00	04:11:53:00	ARE NOT BEING MADE IN THE NAME
04:11:53:00	04:11:53:00	OF PUBLIC HEALTH OR ARE BEING
04:11:53:00	04:11:56:00	NAME MADE IN THE NAME OF COST
04:11:56:00	04:11:56:00	CUTTING.
04:11:56:00	04:11:57:00	DENYING COVERAGE ONLY DEEPENS
04:11:57:00	04:12:00:00	EXISTING HEALTH INEQUITIES AND
04:12:00:00	04:12:01:00	DRIVES UP LONG TERM COSTS FOR
04:12:01:00	04:12:03:00	EMERGENCY CARE AND A
04:12:03:00	04:12:04:00	CO-MORBIDITIES ASSOCIATED WITH
04:12:04:00	04:12:04:00	OBESITY.
04:12:04:00	04:12:07:00	SO TODAY I'M ASKING FOR THREE
04:12:07:00	04:12:08:00	THINGS AND I'M ASKING MY
04:12:08:00	04:12:08:00	COLLEAGUES TO JOIN ME.

04:12:12:00	04:12:14:00	TO THE GROUP INSURANCE
04:12:14:00	04:12:14:00	COMMISSION.
04:12:14:00	04:12:15:00	WE CANNOT MOVE FORWARD WITH A
04:12:15:00	04:12:18:00	POLICY THAT WILL HARM SO MANY
04:12:18:00	04:12:19:00	PEOPLE WITHOUT TAKING THE TIME
04:12:19:00	04:12:22:00	TO UNDERSTAND ITS FULL IMPACT.
04:12:22:00	04:12:23:00	SECOND, I'M URGING THE GOVERNOR
04:12:23:00	04:12:25:00	TO ESTABLISH A STATEWIDE GLP
04:12:25:00	04:12:25:00	ONE TASK FORCE A GROUP

04:12:34:00	04:12:37:00	CLINICAL, ECONOMIC AND HUMAN
04:12:37:00	04:12:37:00	STAKE OF THE ISSUE AND GIVE THE
04:12:37:00	04:12:40:00	COMMONWEALTH EVIDENCE BASED
04:12:40:00	04:12:40:00	RECOMMENDATIONS.
04:12:40:00	04:12:41:00	AND THIRD, I'M CALLING ON ALL
04:12:41:00	04:12:44:00	OF US FROM BEACON HILL TO CITY
04:12:44:00	04:12:45:00	HALL TO MAKE SURE THAT
04:12:45:00	04:12:47:00	RESIDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO CARE.
04:12:47:00	04:12:48:00	MASSACHUSETTS SHOULD BE LEADING

04:12:59:00	04:12:59:00	ME WHEN I AGE.
04:12:59:00	04:13:00:00	CUTS WERE DOWN THE LINE.
04:13:00:00	04:13:02:00	THESE THIS WAS CREATED THIS
04:13:02:00	04:13:06:00	DRUG AND THESE DRUGS WERE
04:13:06:00	04:13:07:00	CREATED WITH THIS LIFESAVING
04:13:07:00	04:13:10:00	RESEARCH AND NOW WHEN BUDGETS
04:13:10:00	04:13:13:00	ARE ON THE LINE THERE IS A
04:13:13:00	04:13:14:00	CHOICE BETWEEN MAKING SURE THAT
04:13:14:00	04:13:15:00	RESIDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THINGS
04:13:15:00	04:13:18:00	THAT WILL SAVE US MONEY DOWN

04:13:18:00	04:13:22:00	IT'S FIRST OF ALL VITAL FOR
04:13:22:00	04:13:22:00	THOUSANDS OF OUR RESIDENTS.

04:13:25:00	04:13:26:00	EMPLOYEES THAT I'VE HEARD FROM.
04:13:26:00	04:13:26:00	IT'S PERSONAL TO CITY WORKERS
04:13:26:00	04:13:29:00	AND IT SHOULD MATTER TO ALL

04:13:50:00	04:13:51:00	I AM SURE I'VE SAID THIS
04:13:51:00	04:13:51:00	PUBLICLY.
04:13:51:00	04:13:54:00	I ONCE UPON A TIME WAS ON
04:13:54:00	04:13:54:00	INSULIN.
04:13:54:00	04:13:58:00	I HAD GESTATIONAL DIABETES AND
04:13:58:00	04:14:01:00	I LOST MY BATTLE TO WEIGHT LOSS
04:14:01:00	04:14:02:00	AND I HAD TO MAKE A DRASTIC
04:14:02:00	04:14:05:00	DECISION BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT
04:14:05:00	04:14:09:00	TO BE A LIFELONG DIABETIC AND
04:14:09:00	04:14:12:00	SO I HAD TO HAVE A DECISION TO
04:14:12:00	04:14:15:00	HAVE A GASTRIC BYPASS SLEEVE
04:14:15:00	04:14:19:00	AND THAT WAS A VERY DRAMATIC
04:14:19:00	04:14:20:00	DECISION THAT I HAD TO MAKE FOR
04:14:20:00	04:14:21:00	MY OWN WELL-BEING.
04:14:21:00	04:14:24:00	BUT I WAS ABLE TO REVERSE MY
04:14:24:00	04:14:27:00	DIABETES, MY BLOOD PRESSURE AND
04:14:27:00	04:14:28:00	NOW I'M ABLE TO LIVE A
04:14:28:00	04:14:28:00	HEALTHIER LIFE.
04:14:28:00	04:14:31:00	SO I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE
04:14:31:00	04:14:32:00	FROM A QUALITY OF LIFE

04:14:33:00	04:14:36:00	SHARING YOUR STORY.
04:14:36:00	04:14:36:00	I KNOW IT'S NOT AN EASY THING
04:14:36:00	04:14:37:00	TO DO.
04:14:37:00	04:14:39:00	SO I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
04:14:39:00	04:14:40:00	THAT IT IS A JOURNEY AND I DO
04:14:40:00	04:14:43:00	APPRECIATE YOU SHARING THAT SO

04:14:44:00	04:14:47:00	NOW MY QUESTION IS TO THE MADAM
04:14:47:00	04:14:48:00	PRESIDENT, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS
04:14:48:00	04:14:50:00	TRYING TO ARTICULATE EARLIER
04:14:50:00	04:14:51:00	BUT I DIDN'T FIND THE RIGHT
04:14:51:00	04:14:54:00	WORDS TO BE APPROPRIATE IN MY
04:14:54:00	04:14:54:00	QUESTION.
04:14:54:00	04:14:58:00	I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT

04:15:12:00	04:15:13:00	OF HOW I SHOULD SHOW UP HERE
04:15:13:00	04:15:16:00	WAS JUST THAT IS THAT FROM MY

04:15:21:00	04:15:24:00	TO BE AN EMERGENCY AND IF THAT
04:15:24:00	04:15:25:00	HAS CHANGED AND I JUST WOULD
04:15:25:00	04:15:27:00	LIKE TO KNOW AND IF IT'S NOT IF
04:15:27:00	04:15:28:00	IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT DYNAMIC
04:15:28:00	04:15:29:00	THAT I'M OKAY WITH IT BUT IS
