Bill Eddy For District Five Council


 
Dear Friends,
 
I am writing on behalf of my friend Bill Eddy, who is running for re-election as a City Councilor in District Five.  I have been friends with Bill for almost twenty years and I have seen first-hand the great work he has done on behalf of all the people in our great city.  Bill is now in a tough re-election fight and he is being attacked by his opponent for his advocacy on issues we believe in. I believe he deserves our support and here is a few reasons why:
 
As a member of the City Council, Bill has worked side by side with me to help advance our ten year Public Schools Capital plan that has secured almost 100 million dollars in state and local funds and commitments to improve schools in his district and across the city.  In his district, schools such as May Street and Heard Street have received improvements this year and next year Columbus Park and Tatnuck School will receive major capital investments. He also partnered with me to advocate for additional City funding for school operations to insure that our teachers have the resources they need to educate all our children.  Thanks to his leadership, we are now at foundation level for the first time in four years.
 
Bill has also been a tireless advocate for our neighborhoods. He led the way to hire new police officers and firefighters to keep our city safe.  He has worked to improve parks and playgrounds around the city and in his district. Bill has also been a passionate advocate for his district and is always working to advance his constituents needs. 
 
Finally, for more than a decade, Bill has been a partner with me in our local efforts to elect progressive leaders like Elizabeth Warren, Jim McGovern and Tim Murray.  On November 5th, please support Bill Eddy for City
