Cultural Diversity Day at the Massachusetts State House
Great Hall, State House, Boston
Birthday: Rep. Michelle Ciccolo
Quote of the Day
“When you dial 911, who comes to your house? When you go to a restaurant, who provides the food? When you turn on the faucet, who makes sure that the water that comes out is clean? When you flush your toilet, who makes sure that it goes to the pipes and out to a system that works? Who plows your street in the winter? Who works in your library? Who does all of those things that we depend on having done?" he said. "Unless they're really wealthy, who's going to do it if they can't afford to live here?”
Speaking on the housing crisis and a Tarr amendment to the budget pushing back deadlines under the MBTA Communities Act.
