Boston City Council Debates East Boston Hospital Funding
The council wrestles with funding for an East Boston emergency hospital amid opposition to a $30,000 amendment attached to a broader schoolhouse loan bill. Norris criticizes the amendment while Leary defends it, and the measure advances with extensive appropriations for multiple school projects. The mayor vetoes a separate bridge study order over vague language.
