Matt Martinelli @mattmartinelli.bsky.social · 21/08/2025The Globe had a few head-scratching stories today, but this one takes the cake. The league should probably update its outdated Talking Points that the Globe is parroting here. 1/6 110
Matt Martinelli @mattmartinelli.bsky.social · 05/08/2025In case folks aren’t paying attention to it all, the league wants the Sun to go to an established NBA owner in Houston. And keep the Boston market in 2033 for the Celtics owner who right now doesn’t even have enough $$ to close the NBA deal, let alone get a WNBA team. Why? Money and control. 1/5 22411
Matt Martinelli @mattmartinelli.bsky.social · 07/05/2025Boston is stepping up with more than 900 affordable homeownership units approved and in the pipeline. But we can’t get shovels in the ground on them without help from the state’s Commonwealth Builder. If you care about fixing the housing crisis and stabilizing our communities, see below. 000

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 173
Matt Martinelli @mattmartinelli.bsky.social · 09/01/2025This is troubling. Not to mention the truck pollution that this doesn’t solve. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...wgbh.orgMassport drastically cut its initial plan to reduce cruise ship emissionsLast year, Massport announced a $60 million plan to build shore power for its growing cruise ship industry — a fraction of the cost of a plan filed earlier to the EPA. 011
Matt Martinelli @mattmartinelli.bsky.social · 23/12/2024I’m surprised this ran with so many truth-bending statements. Ultimately, folks who have no municipal budget experience shouldn’t be meddling in city affairs. Why would Boston (AAA bond rating) take advice from the state (AA+)? www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/23/o...bostonglobe.comWhy I opposed Mayor Wu’s tax proposal - The Boston GlobeNumbers don’t lie: Balance and fiscal responsibility are needed in Boston. 283
Matt Martinelli @mattmartinelli.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Sen. Collins: “Surplus funds should be directed toward residential tax relief, particularly for our seniors.” I think everyone is in agreement, so pass the HRP on the tax shift AND pass Boston’s other HRP that allows for the senior property tax exemption to be increased. 030
