INFORMATION
FIRE
Yesterday, June 27 an early morning fire on Walnut Street affected more than 20 residents. As with any fire, some of these residents
will be left with the unexpected expense of short-term housing while
their homes are being repaired or they look for new housing. The Somerville Homeless Coalition has started two funds to help victims of fires deal with these expenses
- one specifically for people affected by the fire at 106 Walnut Street
and one for future victims of fires in Somerville. If you are
interested in donating, please contact the Coalition at 617-623-6111 or

THANK YOU
Since 2004 when I was first elected to the
City Government I have always been part of the effort to provide rides
to our senior citizens and disabled residents. Whether it is a
municipal, state, or federal election - whether my name was on
the ballot or NOT - I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to
vote. This past Tuesday, with temperatures over 90 degrees, Alderman
Sullivan and I offered rides throughout Ward 1. Many thanks to all our
drivers who volunteered their time, took time off from their day jobs
and were out there all day giving rides. If you click here you can see some pictures of some very loyal voters.
It was great seeing everyone who got out to vote that day.
