Smith rails at Mayors answers in Boston council clash
Councillor Smith called Mayor Fitzgerald’s written replies evasive and “a slap in the face” as questions sought details on $6,250,000 in city needs and electricity versus gas plans. He targeted the park site for a Mattapan playground and questioned use of $50,000 for an inland East Boston playground. The council moved to file the responses and press for an in person explanation at the next meeting. The panel also approved stadium bridge funding with Larz Anderson’s $194,000 pledge and city and commission cost shares, and deferred a granite annex project to the next session. Additional playground land and widening funds were referred to committee.
