Cyr canceled the talks at the begin- ning of September, citing con dentiality breaches stemming from a social media post, and an internal disagreement be- tween Lynn’s only Black councilor and a community leader. On Friday, Cyr, in a joint statement with fellow Councilor Fred Hogan, and representatives from the community groups that have been involved in the discussions, said the racial justice talks were back on. “As reported earlier this month, a mis- understanding led to the cessation of these monthly meetings,” the statement said. “Everyone has agreed that the greater good of the community in con- Bad break on Highland Ave. ducting these meetings, which encour- age open dialogue on issues of race and By Daniel Kane system,” Knowlton said of Highland Ave. A Salem Police of- the development of concrete proposals ITEM STAFF “We also had a second break on Crowdis cer works the site that address systemic racism, far super- we believe happened at the same time in of a water main SALEM — Salem residents along High- sede any past misunderstanding and dis- the high pressure zone.
