In the 1990s, we introduced Boston's community policing strategy. We reversed the tide of violent crime that threatened our city, and we established a national model for preventing and fighting crime.
Boston is safe. And we're going to keep it safe.
I am working hard to ensure that working families can continue to afford to live in our city.
I am also committed to providing city employees with housing assistance.
For every $5 that Boston's economy sends up to Beacon Hill, the state gives only $1 back to us.
Here's what I see all across this great city - people working together to make Boston a better place to live and to raise children, to grow and pursue dreams.
This is a bad day for Boston, but I think if we pull together we'll get through it.
