The first sentence of Rule 34 needs to be clear language... the enjammed way it's written obscures our municipal government.

Ross Report on the Boston Common

rkantor — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:25:58 +0000

Hi. My name is Reuben, and I am Boston City Councilor Mike Ross's Chief of Staff.

Mike and I have read with interest the writings regarding the Boston Common on these pages. We are energized to see so many people who are as interested in the future of the Common as we are.

At Boston Daily, Mike has posted his Ross Report on the topic. We are excited about a number of the proposals that we'll have in this report, and wanted to clear up a few misconceptions.

More than 30 years after passage of the law, that's an all-too-common refrain among municipal leaders.

In one of the most egrigious cases, the Boston City Council was fined $11,000 in 2006 by a Superior Court judge for repeated violations of the law spanning about two years.
