This week, we spotlight major developments in Boston’s fight for public safety and accountability. From zero shootings reported citywide over the past week to 91 grams of fentanyl and 10,000 fake Percocet pills seized, we break down what these numbers mean for our neighborhoods. We also dig into the city’s hiring practices, with Councilors Flynn and Murphy calling for a hearing to address systemic flaws—especially the troubling fact that not one Bostonian was deemed qualified to run Franklin Park.Plus, I’ll be showing up and speaking out:• Tuesday night at the Mayor’s Forum• Thursday night at the Mass & Cass hearing (811 Mass Ave)We close with a moment of reflection for the families affected by the tragic school shootings in Minnesota.
