Boston Mayor Michelle Wu shows how to stand up to cynical political theater: assert your values without apology, speak up for the people in your care, call out the lies & the shameful politics of manufactured crisis for political gain. More of this pls www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/05/m…
In her opening statement to the committee, Wu repeated a core message — Boston “is your home” — in multiple languages, a nod to the city’s diversity.www.bostonglobe.com
