Stood today with @32BJSEIU airport workers fighting for fair pay, better training, and affordable healthcare. MassPort must approve next Thursday’s vote to support a trained, fairly compensated workforce. Grateful to all who continue pushing for dignity and respect for these workers.

Today, I was proud to secure a unanimous Council vote to adopt Clause 41D, protecting senior property tax relief from inflation. This ensures eligibility limits can keep pace with rising costs. Thank you to advocates, residents, and the Massachusetts Senior Action Council for your support.

This past Monday, I sponsored a hearing on a proposal to adjust senior property tax exemption income and asset limits annually for cost-of-living increases.

Thank you to residents and the Massachusetts Senior Action Council for testifying. I look forward to advancing this measure next week!

Yesterday, I, a Haitian-American 🇭🇹 🇺🇸, was at the city’s FanFest convincing a Scotsman 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to try Ghanaian 🇬🇭 food from Red Red Kitchen’s stand (restaurant in Roxbury), all while cheering on Cape Verde 🇨🇻 alongside our exuberant Cape Verdean community.

Right now I’m rooting for Senegal 🇸🇳 , where I lived for 5 months during college, as they take on France 🇫🇷, an impressive team in both its talent and diversity.

I can’t really explain the rules of soccer to you, but I know that what we’re experiencing is the world I want to live in. #WorldCup

Join us on Monday, June 15, at 10AM in the Iannella Chamber for a hearing to help increase senior property tax relief eligibility.

This proposal would automatically adjust income and asset eligibility limits for the City’s senior property tax exemption to keep pace with inflation and rising costs of living, helping more seniors remain eligible for this important benefit over time.

The public, THAT’S YOU, is invited to testify in-person or via Zoom. Email ccc.go@boston.gov regarding Docket #0697 for more information or to participate online.
