Boston City Council kills plan to cut $42M from police budget

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 23:11:20 GMT

A City Council plan to slash $42 million from the police department budget was killed, for now.An 8-4 Council vote to send Boston’s $4.2 billion operating budget back to the mayor, with roughly $74 million in amendments, was later overturned Wednesday when two city councilors reversed course at the last minute — preventing the required majority needed to pass the spending plan.The flip-flop puts the City Council on a tight deadline. The body has until next Wednesday to submit a new operating budget to Mayor Michelle Wu, who will then choose which amendments to approve or veto.“This budget, if passed and went over there, no mayor in their right mind is going to cut the police department $42 million,” said City Councilor Michael Flaherty. “We know that right now. So let’s make these changes in the working sessions. Let’s be realistic. Let’s be fair. Let’s pull it together.”Prior to the initial vote, Flaherty spoke vehemently against the proposed police cuts, which included a $10...

The sophomore fired six innings of shutout ball, surrendering just one hit while striking out nine as top-seeded Milton continued its intense pursuit of a Div. 2 baseball championship with a 9-3 victory over No. 17 Norwood.“Fastball was working really good today,” said Longo. “I was painting it good on the outside corner. Slider had good movement, and I was able to get a couple of rollers with that along with the changeup. Changeup headed outside a lot, and it just got rollovers with the contact I was looking for, and the defense always makes the plays behind my back.”In the evening leading up to this Round of 16 tilt, Milton coach Brendan Morrissey had his group prepare by facing higher vel...
