What is the biggest issue facing Boston residents at the moment and what do you believe the City Council should do to address this?

The biggest issue facing Boston residents at the moment is the cost of living. The City Council should address this by making cuts in our own budget to lower taxes and decrease spending. 

What makes you stand out from the other candidates in this race?

I stand out from other candidates in this race because I possess far more experience than my opponents. With 37 years of experience working in the city, including 12 on the City Council, my experience far outweighs that of anyone running at this time, including the incumbents.

Do you think the public has lost faith in the City Council in recent years? If so, what do you think should be done to improve the council’s public image?

Yes. To remedy this we can start by dealing with a Boston centered agenda.
