North Cambridge Rally Speech Defends City Reform
At Odd Fellows hall North Cambridge Frederick Deftrick presides as Mayor McNamee defends Democratic removals from office. He argues Republicans falsely claim looting the treasury, cites staffing changes across city departments, salaries, and civil service adherence to show governance prioritized over party. He contrasts with past mayors Champlin and Dickinson, asserts Democrats aided city over faction, and urges readers to judge records.
