Mayor Bradshaw on Proposed Charter Amendment – June 18, 2021

Mayor Andrew Bradshaw

Good evening:

On the evening of June 16, I received an email including an essay that discussed the proposed amendment of the City of Cambridge’s Charter for the establishment of a Department of Human Resources. The essay indicates the clear dedication and concern of the author for the City’s well-being, but also contains incorrect assumptions and understanding, both of the proposal itself and of the language within the Charter of the City of Cambridge.

My response to the essay is attached. I hope this clarifies the matter, while also providing a more accurate view of the proposal and the present situation within the City of Cambridge

I appreciate everyone’s dedication to ensuring we make the best decisions for Cambridge. Only with this level of care can Cambridge succeed in all the ways we know are capable.

Best,
Mayor Andrew Bradshaw
