    Dorchester Reporter “The News and Values Around the Neighborhood” 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. (Continued on page 9) Walsh raises questions about Savin Hill project By Gintautas dumcius nEws Editor Mayor Marty Walsh said this week that he has concerns about the height of a condominium building being proposed for a neighborhood eyesore, a long- vacant parcel on Savin Hill Avenue next to Savin Bar David Ortiz greeted the members of the Richard family of Dorchester who survived last year’s Boston and Kitchen and across from the MBTA station.
