Quotes

Plan E is the root of fundamental problems, procedural and political, in our city. We need a charter change.

The biggest issue facing Cambridge is its form of government. I think that before we resolve the issue of how we govern ourselves, we cannot address the big issues that are facing Cambridge and cannot implement them in the current system of charter planning.
