Congratulations to Brian Cummins and Rick Nagin for prevailing in today's primary. I hope you both find the strength to lead and protect the residents of Ward 14 from the predation of developers out to make a buck off of us.
To Nelson Cintron--I express my utmost admiration for your tireless efforts to improve the lives of your friends, your neighbors, and your family who live in Ward 14, and who actually go to the public schools with union teachers in Ward 14.
I hope that Rick Nagin and Brian Cummins make a real effort to get to listen to you and, especially to your daughters, who can make them understand the need to protect and serve and, above all, retain these young people to rebuild the community. I hope that we can start by pushing to reopen St. Procop's immediately as the anchor needed to support the community. Brian and Rick, I will look to you both for less talk and more action.
