Are we getting Barkley on the cop slide?

Well now.. with a 21 acre project at On the Dot .. 31 acres at Gillette .. 42 acres on Massport property for the Reserve Channel and 6 acres of Mass Convention center land up for grabs one has to wonder, why hasn’t Planning Department undertaken a Community Plan for Southie😳

Speaking of 🔥

It’s been a long time since I edited at the Herald, but I think “cap off” would be a good substitute for “end” in the tweet. The replies here are 😳

This thread is all sorts of incorrect - especially the article it links to. People would do well to be informed before they start spouting half-truths and debunked info.

Hey Howie Carr - Where did you find 475k votes cast? I’m seeing 265,413.

Honored to be named one of the The Boston Globe Bostonians of the Year! 🙏🏾 Grateful for the coalition behind 225 new liquor licenses, driving equity & opportunity in Boston’s neighborhoods. 💪🏾

Mayor Wu has posted a Tax Calculator for residents to find out how they would have saved if her proposed tax plan hadn't been blocked by the Senate. boston.gov/tax-calculator

“FY25 marks the highest share of the levy paid by residential property and the lowest paid by business property in at least four decades.” This is what the mayor’s compromise plan sought to avoid and the reason why property tax bills are so high.

It is sad to see politicians and people fall for false narratives that end up hurting seniors (denying them tax relief) and scaring unions (calling for furloughs). It’s completely false that the city is in fiscal crisis. There isn’t a shred of actual evidence that points to it.

Last year, my office fought for college & career readiness funding in the city budget-and now, the Office of Workforce Development has rolled out $650,000 in grants for schools and nonprofits that help first-generation 7th & 8th graders access college readiness programs.

The Boston City Council is hitting the road for the FY26 Budget Public Testimony, and we’re coming straight to your community! Boston’s FY26 Budget is being shaped NOW, and this is your chance to speak up! Let us know what matters most to YOU and your neighborhood.

Tell them: Boston needs the Commonwealth Builder program. Let’s keep building homes families can actually own.

A great neighbor and admirable activist. She will be sorely missed.

I’m not sure that people fully understand how big of a deal this will be for the restaurants. Combined with last year’s Zip Code-restricted licenses, it’s the biggest change in the liquor license system in decades. It could really improve the scene here for patrons and owners.

This is how they’re going to defund public education. Don’t fall for it. Property tax is one of the most progressive and reliable taxes there is. We need more carveouts and a fair system within the existing property tax structure.

The only thing that polls better than the mayor is bringing a WNBA team to Boston.
