At this point, the City Council, Mayor Wu, and both the Senate and House have passed this legislation. Let's get this actually passed on Beacon Hill and put money back in our seniors’ pockets.
While we might not always agree on all the tax solutions for Boston homeowners, I thank Sen Collins for putting people above politics and introducing this amendment yesterday.
This is much-needed relief for our seniors and will help more of those on a fixed-income stay in their community, which is why the City Council also passed it unanimously last year as a standalone measure and has included it in other legislation.
I'm pleased to see that the State Senate passed an increased elderly exemption as an amendment that will allow seniors to see their exemption tripled and eligibility requirements loosened to 50% AMI and the asset level raised to $80k (single) and $110k (couple).
Homeowners shouldn’t subsidize luxury landlords. Let’s tax large, income-producing high-rises differently than single-family homes and condos—and give real relief to the people.

Boston, we can’t afford to have Commonwealth Builder lose funding at the state level! I sent a letter to Gov Healey and now I’m asking you to act, too.
Nearly 1,000 affordable homeownership units in Boston’s pipeline are at risk if the Commonwealth Builder program isn’t funded.
Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy and the lifeblood of our neighborhoods. I hope as a City we will do all we can to ensure our city continues to invest in all the services that help our entrepreneurs and small business thrive. 2/2
It's disappointing to see the federal government and this Republican administration turn its back on small businesses, but I'm not surprised when our federal government is controlled by the wealthiest man in the world. 1/2
I’m thrilled to see the Council flex its support for housing with a unanimous vote. It’s time to get shovels back in the ground for Boston.
A $110M investment to unlock over 30,000 unbuilt housing units in Boston! This initiative expands homeownership opportunities, supports BHA mixed-income developments, and leverages state partnerships—all aimed at building generational wealth and strengthening our neighborhoods. #HousingForAll

🚨 27 Legislative Priorities for a Stronger Boston! 🚨
From driveway accessibility to homeownership vouchers and expanding youth programs — my office is championing these key pieces of legislation to build a more equitable, inclusive, and thriving Boston! See the thread for all of our work.
I sponsored a Council resolution in April that supports laws like these. Side-running bus lanes are an important piece of our transit future - providing speedier access to all.
Happy to see the Legislature advancing multiple bills to improve road safety. The first is camera-mounted school buses to help our students stay safe, and the second is camera-enforced bus lanes that will make side-running bus lanes more effective.
This recognition is about the incredible coalition of changemakers who worked tirelessly to bring historic legislation to life. Together, we created 225 new liquor licenses to help communities in Mattapan, Dorchester, Roxbury, and beyond—bringing economic opportunities where they are needed most.
I'm honored to be named one of The Boston Globe's Bostonians of the Year!
Thank you to @bostonglobe.com for highlighting this transformative work as well as the work of my brother, Rep. Chris Worrell, and the work of Royal Smith, Nick Korn, and State Sen. Liz Miranda, who pushed at every step.
We’re looking to ensure our policies and laws don’t have unintended consequences based upon race, etc. And we’re trying to unlock the billions of extra economic dollars for the state if we close the achievement gap for all. That includes education, but also the Boston Residents Job Policy.
I've pushed for a holistic approach to cultivate heathy communities in Boston. The latest move to make Violence Prevention a standalone office is something I advocated for during the past few years. I'm thrilled to see it come to fruition. Kudos to the Boston Public Health Commission for this move.
What's Up, Bluesky? Like this message and give me a follow and I'll follow you back. Let's build our community together.
