No Commission On Markets Meets With Board Rebuff
The Board of Aldermen rejected 10 to 3 a motion to appoint a commission to probe the market lease issue and leases. Alderman Kelly, with mayoral backing, urged a three member panel including a land expert, a lessee appointee, and a disinterested person to investigate. Several aldermen argued against, noting the board can handle the matter itself and criticizing actions around departmental abolitions and other orders. The body also set plans for public hearings on a new City Hall and considered other departmental consolidations and a bathhouse proposal on Dorchester Ave.
