Former, Chief of Environment, Energy and Open Space, City of Boston. Thoughts are my own.

@TomCottonAR @SenTomCotton Denying 700,000 fellow citizens representation because they don't share your political views is something that Al Qaeda, China & Russia would do. You've fought all 3 in the military & as a public servant. Protect freedom and democracy at home. Support #DCStatehood.

[Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh]

Planning for the future -- the City of Boston has new rules to make buildings more resilient and able to withstand the impacts of climate change. @bostonplans #ClimateReady Read more by: @bostonglobe https://t.co/N4uzawZY4J

Happy #Pride2018 passing the Common as Mayor @marty_walsh hosts #uscm2018 @CityOfBoston. Mayor @PeteButtigieg and more are getting fired up! #BostonPride @BostonParksDept

[Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh]

As Mayors, we are coming together to protect our climate, no matter what it takes: for the health of our communities, for the strength of our economies, and for the love of our cities. #BostonClimateSummit https://t.co/hOkNFe49xi

[Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh]

Boston is teaming up with other cities to see the potential in collectively buying renewable energy to cut down on costs and spur incentives to create green energy. #BostonClimateSummit https://t.co/aLed8TfyuG

[Austin Blackmon @austinfblackmon]

@marty_walsh is leading @ClimateMayors across the country who want more renewable energy. Solution could lower costs for @CityOfBoston, #BostonCCE and millions more. @MayorOfLA
@ChicagosMayor @SylvesterTurner @orlandomayor @tedwheeler are in! Who's next?

[Austin Blackmon @austinfblackmon]

One of my heroes @GinaEPA inspiring a crowd to save our kids from asthma and disease by reducing pollution and emissions. Fighting climate change is a public health issue. Learn how to help us @GreenovateBos. #EarthWeek

[Austin Blackmon @austinfblackmon]

A blueprint for confronting climate change? "Now we are in a position where we can make an informed decision around where are the best places to make investments that protect the city" @austinfblackmon @marty_walsh @CityOfBoston @shaynaseymour @anthonyeverett 7:30 #wcvb

[Austin Blackmon @austinfblackmon]

Mayor @marty_walsh is taking a stand with @ClimateMayors for fuel efficient cars & trucks. These save Americans millions of dollars at the pump & keep our air clean, but @EPAScottPruitt opposes that. Help us make progress anyway @GreenovateBos. https://t.co/AnM3yfAZeY

[Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh]

I join @ClimateMayors in opposition to the Trump Admin’s intent to relax fuel efficiency standards. I will continue to work with cities across the country & around the world to uphold the tenets of the Paris Agreement & protect Boston against the impacts of climate change (1/2)

Welcome back @NVermaNBCBoston! Congrats on being in remission and doing great work to help others. https://t.co/SHvJ4PpqtA

[Natasha Verma @NatashaVermaTV]

5 months ago, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Thanks to @BIDMChealth and my incredible family, I am in remission and returning to @nbcboston in Feb. Losing my hair was very difficult. That's why I'm donating FREE wigs to cancer patients. Join me: https://t.co/1qPeBFXXqx

[Austin Blackmon @austinfblackmon]

Congrats to Willie O'Ree. Sixty years ago he broke the color barrier in the @NHL. Mayor @marty_walsh is proud to dedicate a @BostonParksDept street hockey rink in your honor.

[Austin Blackmon @austinfblackmon]

@ChicagosMayor Emanuel sent up the "climate bat signal" and this superhero showed up. Thanks @BarackObama for the internship that inspired me into public service and preserving our planet. Join us @GreenovateBos. #ChicagoCharter
