WALSH— A SUPPLEMENT TO THE REPORTER March 2021 Marty Walsh the mayor: A change agent, but not by himself BY CHRIS LOVETT SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER Marty Walsh served as Boston’s mayor for a little more than seven years, a time that unfolded mainly as a dashboard of growth and inclusion, with units of progress, stasis, or lost ground. But in a less granular future, he will be judged more as the mayor who helped the city out of one crisis only to contend with another. He announced his first candidacy for Mayor of Boston in April 2013, less than two weeks after his pre- decessor, Tom Menino, whose fifth straight term had been hampered by a series of health problems, made it known he would not seek a sixth. Nei- ther decision was very surprising. As a state representative and labor leader from Dorchester, Walsh spent years building alliances, navigating through differences of race, neigh- borhood, and social agenda. With his attention to personal contact and individual needs—including jobs in the building trades and help with re- covery, he was groomed as one more exponent of the “retail politics” asso- ciated with his most recent predeces- sors—Menino and Ray Flynn.

  • Human Longing Is for Nothing Less Than the Reconciliation of Time and Place
    uman longing is for nothing less than the reconciliation of time and place, of past and future, of the many and the one, of the living and the dead. HBoston is precious because it lives in the national imagination, and increasingly the world’s, just so— as a still brilliant map of America’s good hope. —James Carroll from Mapping Boston Helping to Build The Good City The Boston Foundation works closely with its donors to make real, measurable change in some of the most important issues of our day. A number of key areas of community life benefited from the Foundation’s “Understanding Boston” model for social change in 2005: Research This year, the Foundation’s third biennial Boston Indicators Report identified the key competitive issues facing Boston and the region and offered an emerging civic agenda. The Foundation also released the third annual “Housing Report Card” and a report on ways for towns and cities to build affordable housing without increasing school costs. Other reports focused on goals for Boston Harbor and the Waterfront—and the impact and role of Greater Boston’s higher education institutions through the Carol R. Goldberg Seminar. Major Convenings All Boston Foundation reports are released at forums attracting thousands of people every year. In 2005 alone, the Foundation held some 20 forums on a diverse set of issues—including two major housing convenings, sessions focused on strengthening the nonprofit sector and community safety—and forums examining the effects of the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina on national and local philanthropy. Task Forces Task Forces of experts and stakeholders are convened and facilitated by the Foundation.

  • Amid Trump's Legal Troubles, Two Lawyers' Names Keep Surfacing Together
    April 26, 2018 MySanantonio.com Link to original article: https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/article/Amid-Trump-s-legal-troubles-two-lawyers-names-128 67949.php Amid Trump's legal troubles, two lawyers' names keep surfacing together By Beth Reinhard, Emma Brown and Frances Stead Sellers, The Washington Post The two lawyers' names keep surfacing in tandem, again and again, in the context of deals in which women were paid to keep quiet about their alleged affairs with powerful men. Now, the relationship between Michael Cohen and Keith Davidson is drawing public scrutiny as federal authorities investigating Cohen examine payments made to women whose stories could have damaged Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Davidson is cooperating with the probe and has provided investigators with "certain limited electronic information," according to the lawyer's spokesman. Cohen, Trump's longtime adviser, and Davidson, a Los Angeles lawyer, have crossed paths at least five times in the past two years. In the most recent instance, Cohen collected a fee said to be hundreds of thousands of dollars in a deal Davidson helped orchestrate. New attorneys for Davidson's former clients, Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, both of whom allege they had affairs with Trump years ago, say the relationship between Cohen and Davidson has seemed too cozy. "This is supposed to be an adversarial process," said Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti. "These guys should not be in the same bedroom, let alone the same bed." Cohen did not respond to requests for comment. Nor did his lawyers Brent Blakely and Stephen Ryan. In a recent interview with The Washington Post, Davidson rejected the suggestion that his dealings with Cohen were in any way improper, saying they have a "purely professional" relationship and did not meet in person until early 2018.
