Volume 31 Issue 15 Thursday, April 10, 2014 50¢ RICHARD FAMILY HAILS THE CHAMPS ‘Personal priorities’ drive mayor’s $2.7b budget By Gintautas Dumcius News Editor The city of Boston’s budget for fiscal year 2015 would rise to $2.7 billion, a $118.2 million increase over this year’s under the first spending plan proposed by Mayor Marty Walsh. “I’m not raising taxes, I’m not raising fees,” Walsh said on Tuesday before he rolled out the details the next morning at a gathering of the City Council. “We’re going to have a fiscally responsible budget.” The proposal, which will be vetted by the 13-member Council over the next few months, projects a heavy focus on promises Walsh made on the campaign trail last year. In a letter to the council, Walsh said the budget “reflects my personal priorities.” The mayor wants to invest $300,000 in an Office of Recovery Services that would fight drug addiction; set up the position of an arts and culture chief, with a salary of up to $125,000; and increase to $355,000 the overall funding for the 20 districts in the Main Streets program, which provides technical assistance to local businesses. Each district would receive $75,000, an increase from the $57,250 they’ve received in past years.

A demolition vehicle moved onto the property and began dismantling the dilapidated structure on Tuesday. The city’s Landmarks Commission designated the house a landmark last year, but the City Council, in a rare move, voted to override the designation in mid-December, at its last meeting of the year. The vote was 12 to 0, with District Councillor Frank Baker voting “present,” because he lives diagonally across from the home. The property also housed a stable, which was taken down last year for safety reasons. Landmarks Commission officials argued the rest of the property could be preserved, citing its “fanciful, Stick style.” But the family of the late Ray Tomasini, which owned the property, pushed for the demolition, and when the commission rejected their request, the heirs lobbied the Council to overturn the decision, arguing that it had fallen into severe disrepair. Most residents expect the home will be replaced with condominiums. “The neighborhood would’ve happily met on how to develop 24 Grampian,” said Bill Walczak, the former head of Carney Hospital and Codman Square Health Center. “The family opted not to.” “This sets a very bad precedent for neighborhoods with large lots that can be developed,” he added. This once-grand mansion at 24 Grampian Way was razed by heavy machinery on Tuesday. -GINTAUTAS DUMCIUS 700 rally for human service workers at State House Nearly 700 human quests under the banner Headquartered on Beach that many incumbent months on House and a good place to live up service workers and of “The Caring Force,” an Street, and focused on lawmakers are running Senate versions of Gov. to its promise,” he said advocates flooded Bea- initiative that highlights providing skills and em- for reelection this year Deval Patrick’s budget. on Tuesday.

At one point, Ed Geary asked Kathy Harold, our friends Mary Keeley, Pat Devilly, and Arlene The duo played and sang “Go, Lassie, Go,” and John’s daughter, to bring up the key to open the Phinney.

After a mention that the memorabilia from 1988 might be shut up again for another 25 years, and an announcement that Erin Murphy was running for mayor of Dorchester, the enjoyable evening ended. *** I was sorry to see, in a recent Patriot Ledger, that Thomas Clegg Sr. passed away on Mar. 27. Tom was a year or two ahead of Hubby and me at State Teachers’ College at Boston, or Boston State as we now call it. Tom had been a principal in the Boston public schools and had served as president of the Boston Association of School Administrators and Supervisors. He was a Fulbright Scholar (he taught in New Zealand from 1959 to 1960) and also a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts. He retired as a Lt. Colonel in the Army National Guard after serving for 33 years. He leaves his wife Isabel and their children: Thomas Jr., Michael, Christopher, Francis, Gerardine, and Mark. He also leaves two brothers, his twin John and his brother, my friend Steve Clegg. My husband and I send our sympathy to the entire family. By the way, Tom died a few days before his and John’s birthday, on Apr. 3. Speaking of the Boston schools, I just happened to see that Edward J. Winter had passed away on Apr. 2. Edward served as Secretary of the Boston School Committee for many years and was held in high esteem by employees of the Boston schools. I am sure that I join the school department in sending sympathy to his family, and, in particular, to his daughter Priscilla, who lives locally. *** Because Hubby has mentioned that he is going to plant the shamrocks that he bought for St. Patrick’s Day out in the yard very soon so they will continue to thrive, I thought this was a great saying, by horticultural pioneer Luther Burbank: “There is only one job where you can start at the top and that is digging a hole.” NEPONSET 617-288-2680 617-288-2681 PRESCHOOL WILLIAM LEE, D.D.S. $38/day - 7:30-5:30 FAMILY DENTISTRY 281A Neponset Avenue, Dorchester Office Hours www.neponsetpreschool.com By Appointment 383 NEPONSET AVE.
