It's like an Alcatraz around my neck

Tonight, I am pleased to announce that I have secured $1 million from the Convention Host Committee to fund the beautification of Boston's neighborhoods.

I am working hard to ensure that working families can continue to afford to live in our city.

Boston is the engine of the state's economy.

I am also committed to providing city employees with housing assistance.

We must be vigilant in our actions towards criminals, and innovative in our approach towards solving crime.

I'm driven. I have the opportunity to change people's lives.
