At this point the solution to our biggest problems as residents and taxpayers of City of Boston have to start with one question. What are the problems that are happening in this city that don't make us want to live here anymore, work here anymore, and raise our children here anymore?

Michelle will get my vote if she proves she will show change on the issues that have not been improved.
Campbell has no chance
Campbell has been stale ever since she got into office. She keeps throwing out all of these big plans to make herself look like a big thinker and a high-level leader, but she fails at drawing a path towards success.
