Believe in Better Public Safety / Public Health..
|
We live in a big city with big city issues. Those who serve and protect
us need to feel confident that they are properly supported through funding…that
we supply them with the best-most up to date equipment possible and
that we in city hall back them up with legislation that helps reinforce
public safety for our citizens.
I believe Boston can be better!
