Here is a different angle of this tragic accident. BAN is keeping the family members of the victims in our thoughts at this time.

The driver of an enflamed car that drove off an on-ramp in Boston Wednesday morning has been pronounced deceased, Boston Fire officials say. https://t.co/MSym5eMYTl

Your Attorney General’s response to my suing Legislature yesterday.
Not “good luck”.
Not “I hope the courts support the People’s audit”
Instead, she promises to get the case dismissed. What’s it like to have so many friends on the bench @MassAGO? People want to know. #mapoli

@bostonherald This did not age well.

[Diana DiZoglio @DianaDiZoglio]

You pay taxes, so you have a right to know. I am asking you to support our ballot initiative to place the State House under the Public Records Law. Transparency, accountability, and accessibility matter. #mapoli

This is the safest city, @MayorWu ?

[Boston Accountability Network (BAN) @Boston_Account]

@kathoderaytube @MayorWu The mission is just to release information and source material that seems to be omitted from typical sources. We have no agenda and don’t support any specific politicians/candidates.

We get information, make it available to the masses, and leave it at that.

[Boston Accountability Network (BAN) @Boston_Account]

The Suffolk County Sheriff - who has jurisdiction over Boston- was just taken into custody for corruption charges.

A Boston City Councilor is expected to be sentenced to jail time in a few short weeks.

Numerous officials within the @MayorWu administration have been arrested over the past several months - many of them facing felony charges.

This statement from @wutrain is not grounded in reality.

UPDATE: Boston Mayor Michelle Wu had a short response when reached by NBC10 Boston for comment on the Justice Department's letter: "Unlike the Trump administration, Boston follows the law." https://t.co/iogD3r8myM

[Boston Accountability Network (BAN) @Boston_Account]

Our stories include all relevant primary source material so the readers can verify the information provided and decide for themselves.

In our experience, most people that deride information based on who provides it do so because they have no evidence-based rebuttals so just revert to personal attacks.

Our approach is to remove that element from the equation. If you have a problem with one of our posts/stories, provide evidence that supports it.

[Boston Accountability Network (BAN) @Boston_Account]

.@MayorWu is quoted as saying: “Unlike the Trump administration, Boston follows the law.”

The point is that multiple elected officials and direct appointees of elected officials in Boston do not follow the law, and, therefore, the statement by @wutrain is inaccurate.

Both Tompkins and Anderson were arrested as the result of FEDERAL investigations.

[Boston Accountability Network (BAN) @Boston_Account]

More corruption from inside Boston City Hall - this time with a @MayorWu appointee lining his pockets with cash payments while on the clock.

Boston's children and families face daily exposure to discarded needles in our parks, schools, and sidewalks due to ineffective policies.

@MayorWu, we urge you to immediately halt needle distribution programs citywide until robust systems are implemented to prevent children from being harmed by discarded needles.

Over $30,000 spent per student and yet only 29% test proficiently in math. Another massive failure of @MayorWu and her administration.

#mapoli #bospoli

[Coming Soon @MDNtalk]

🚨 JUST IN: Wu blew $1.4 billion on Boston Public Schools — and still couldn’t raise literacy rates.

$30K per student. Exam schools gutted.

The state nearly took over.

Now Josh Kraft’s calling it what it is: failure.

Wu called on Kraft to make his tax returns public to reveal any potential conflicts of interest, which he should.

We are calling on Wu to release and disclose her potential conflicts of interest via her stockholdings in Rockland Trust.
Wu’s tax returns aren’t public - all that is available is a Boston Globe summary of what they determined to be pertinent information for voters.

We think how much stake the Mayor has in Rockland Trust - a company that does significant financial transactions with/within the City of Boston - is information that should be disclosed.

[Boston Accountability Network (BAN) @Boston_Account]

This is a fair point from @mayorwu, but will she follow suit?

Are you willing to disclose how much stock you and your husband own in Rockland Trust, @wutrain? How many city developments requiring your approval are financed by Rockland Trust? City contracts? Etc.

#mapoli #bospoli

[Boston Herald @bostonherald]

Michelle Wu called on her top challenger Josh Kraft to release his tax returns to reveal any financial interests or business “entanglements” he may have with the city that could impede his ability to effectively serve as mayor. https://t.co/13CzeWP9ms

[Boston Accountability Network (BAN) @Boston_Account]

@NEWRM2025 @Shawn4Boston @MayorWu @wutrain We have read her disclosures and made them public. These disclosures indicate Wu owns stock in Rockland Trust with her husband but does not show how much, hence our question.

[Boston Accountability Network (BAN) @Boston_Account]

@ProWuCoalition @MayorWu @wutrain This article, like Wu’s financial disclosures, just indicate that she owns stock but does not show how much.

[Boston Accountability Network (BAN) @Boston_Account]

Any comment, @MayorWu @BOSCityCouncil?

🚨BREAKING: As a result of an FBI Boston Child Exploitation - Human Trafficking Task Force investigation, John Magee Gavin, a former science teacher at the Josiah Quincy Upper School in Boston, has been indicted for child exploitation. He's believed to have communicated with at least 20 underage females around the world. Learn more: https://t.co/GKbb6zZLx8

Has this ever happened before?

Are these employees entitled to treble damages under Massachusetts General Law due to the financial mismanagement of the @MayorWu administration?

#mapoli #bospoli

[Josh Kraft @JoshKraftBoston]

Today, I heard from a large # of city workers justifiably angry that they won’t receive their paychecks on time. These include first responders & many others who’ll be working over the holiday weekend to keep our city safe and clean. It’s an unacceptable management failure to not pay city workforce on time, especially those living paycheck to paycheck due to the high cost of living in Boston.

[Boston Accountability Network (BAN) @Boston_Account]

@JoshKraftBoston That’s because using Boston Fire cadets to relocate individuals dealing with addiction issues in the weeks leading up to a municipal election does little to address the actual issue.

Boston needs competent leadership, not the illusion of it.

[Jessica Machado @jessmachadoshow]

Boston's South End like you've never seen it before. This is a total shame. Where is @MayorWu ?

Great point from @FallRiverReport.

[Fall River Reporter @FallRiverReport]

In 2022, 52% of Massachusetts voters passed an amendment to impose a 4% surtax on household income above $1 million. Politicians enacted it right away. In 2024, 72% of voters passed an amendment to audit the legislators. It's been 224 days, and Democrats continue to resist it.
