波士頓市長宣佈第二屆“一波士頓日”

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES SECOND ANNUAL
"ONE BOSTON DAY" 
Encourages the Public, Organizations to Get Involved 
BOSTON - Friday, March 18, 2016 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced that the City of Boston will once again honor Boston's resilience, generosity and strength on April 15, now known as "One Boston Day." The day serves as an opportunity to recognize the good in our community and reflect on the spirit and resilience of the people of Boston that was exemplified in the response to the loss and the tragedies of April 15, 2013.
The City of Boston has launched onebostonday.org, where individuals and organizations can share their plans for One Boston Day and are encouraged to use the hashtag #OneBostonDay.

"April 15 is a date that has come to stand for our city's deepest values, and last year we were amazed by the spirit of the day, in the City, and around the world," said Mayor Walsh. "I hope everyone can mark this day in a way that is appropriate and inclusive for each of our experiences."

The Mayor made the announcement at the unveiling of the 2016 Boston Marathon street banners at Marathon Sports on Boylston Street.  

"One Boston Day" encourages random acts of kindness and spreading goodwill, and activities across the City will encourage individuals to give back to their community. The new tradition came together in 2015 based on the desire expressed by many survivors to pass on the kindness, generosity and support they received following the 2013 Boston Marathon.

Last April 15, #OneBostonDay was a leading trend nationally on social media, and there were over 40,000 posts across social channels.

AG STOPS ONLINE AUTO TITLE LENDER FROM COLLECTING ON ILLEGAL LOANS MADE TO MASSACHUSETTS CONSUMERS

AG STOPS ONLINE AUTO TITLE LENDER FROM COLLECTING ON ILLEGAL LOANS MADE TO MASSACHUSETTS CONSUMERS
Liquidation, LLC Repossessed and Sold Motor Vehicles after Making Loans with Interest Rates As High As 619 percent

BOSTON – An unlicensed online auto title lender has been ordered to stop making and collecting on illegal, short-term loans made to Massachusetts consumers in an enforcement action filed by Attorney General Maura Healey.
The preliminary injunction, entered last week in Suffolk Superior Court against Liquidation, LLC (Liquidation), comes after AG Healey sued the company for allegedly targeting economically vulnerable Massachusetts consumers, providing them with unlawful, high-interest loans on their otherwise paid-off vehicles and, when they could not pay, seizing and selling their vehicles.
“We allege that this company preyed upon financially-strained consumers by offering quick cash in the form of illegal and predatory loans that the lender knew they could not pay back,” said AG Healey. “For many families, a vehicle is their most valuable household asset and is often necessary to maintain their livelihood. This order prevents the company from continuing to make or collect on these loans, some with interest rates higher than 600 percent. Our office will continue to go after companies that use abusive practices to reap illegal profit from consumers in Massachusetts.”

According to the AG’s complaint, filed in Suffolk Superior Court against Liquidation, also doing business as Auto Loans, LLC, Car Loan, LLC, and Sovereign Lending Solutions, LLC, the company routinely made and collected upon short-term loans containing undisclosed and deceptive terms, including illegal interest rates and abusive interest-only payment schedules that resulted in final balloon payments that exceeded the amount originally given to the consumer.  

A sample of loan agreements procured by the AG’s Office in its investigation revealed loans ranging from $700 to more than $9,000, with interest rates ranging from 181 percent to 619 percent—rates far in excess of state civil and criminal usury laws that limit interest on small loans of $6,000 or less to 12 percent and 20 percent for loans above the $6,000 threshold, respectively. More than 200 Massachusetts consumers statewide were victimized by this unlawful lending scheme.

The AG’s Office last week obtained a preliminary injunction against Liquidation, ordering the company and its agents to stop all collection activities on these illegal loans including the collection of illegal interest payments, motor vehicle repossessions, and auction sales. It also prohibits Liquidation from making any new loans to Massachusetts consumers and from moving or concealing assets prior to trial.

Most consumers applied for loans from Liquidation online or by calling a number listed on its website. The AG’s Office alleges that Liquidation and entities believed to be affiliated with it were not licensed to originate small loans in Massachusetts. It also alleges that Liquidation did not provide consumers with copies of their loan agreements and did not disclose a number of abusive contract terms such as high interest rates, a large lump sum final payment, and a requirement that any disputes be mediated in New Zealand.

Although consumers were led to believe that they would pay off their loans in one year, they were never informed that their final payment would be more than the amount originally borrowed. Many consumers were unable to come up with the unexpected final payments and were forced to extend their loan terms and continue paying the high interest rates or risk losing their vehicles. Liquidation also required consumers to install GPS tracking units in their vehicles to ensure regular loan repayment and for purposes of repossession.
When borrowers missed or were late on a payment, Liquidation allegedly attempted to collect on the debt through repeated harassing phone calls and e-mails. In numerous instances, Liquidation repossessed the consumers’ vehicles and sold them at auction houses in Massachusetts, with Liquidation retaining all proceeds. The AG’s complaint alleges that since 2012, Liquidation ordered the repossession of at least 78 motor vehicles registered in Massachusetts and sold at least 66 of them at auction, many for a price significantly exceeding the amount of the consumer’s outstanding lien. 
In order to perpetuate and conceal their alleged scheme and deceive consumers and regulators, Liquidation operated under several other fictitious business names and from virtual office spaces and post office boxes around the country. The company purports to have transferred all of its assets overseas and reorganized in the Cook Islands.

The AG’s Office has notified affected consumers about the preliminary injunction, informing them of its terms and their right to stop making payments on these unlawful loans. The injunction has also been distributed to the state Registry of Motor Vehicles and the auction houses and repossession companies that previously worked with Liquidation.

The Commonwealth’s complaint against Liquidation seeks to void the company’s unauthorized and illegal loans and discharge the liens recorded on the titles of the impacted Massachusetts motor vehicles. It also seeks injunctive relief, restitution for consumers for all unlawful interest payments, fees, and replacement costs for lost motor vehicles, as well as penalties, costs, and attorneys’ fees for violations of the state’s lender licensing, usury, and consumer protection laws.

The AG’s Office offers the following tips for people considering taking out a loan:

·         Be wary of any loan that originates solely online. Know your lender and where they are physically located.
·         Be skeptical of a promise of fast cash. These offers usually come with very high and illegal interest rates.
·         Know and understand what you are agreeing to, in writing, before you finalize any commitment. Always request and keep a copy for your records.
·         Payday and auto title lending are costly alternatives for short-term cash needs. Before considering a payday loan, consumers should explore other alternatives including:
o   Contacting your local bank or credit union for a short-term loan;
o   Asking your employer for an advance on your paycheck;
o   Finding out if you can delay paying a non-interest bill such as a utility bill and make payment arrangements with the utility company;
o   Asking your creditor for more time to pay your bills or for a modification to your terms;
o   Contacting an accredited consumer credit counseling agency in your area such as Consumer Credit Counseling Service at (800) 388-2227 or American Consumer Credit Counseling at (800) 769-3571. The counselor can advise you how to get out of debt and avoid predatory loans, or;
o   Obtaining a cash advance from a credit card.
·         Contact the Division of Banks to determine if a lender is licensed to do business in Massachusetts at their Consumer Hotline at 1-800-495-BANK (2265), ext. 501.
The AG’s Office continues to be active in this area and wants to hear from Massachusetts consumers who have information regarding unfair or deceptive lending. Consumers with tips or questions can call the Attorney General’s consumer hotline at 617-727-8400 or file a complaint with the office.

The matter is being handled by Assistant Attorneys General Francesca L. Miceli and Justin Lowe of Attorney General Healey’s Consumer Protection Division, with assistance from Investigator Anthony Crespi and Paralegal Virginia Aprahamian.

BRA board approves $259 million in new projects at March meeting

BRA board approves $259 million in new projects at March meeting

BOSTON – The Boston Redevelopment Authority’s board of directors approved seven new projects at last night’s meeting. In total, the projects represent a combined investment of $258.5 million and will generate over 530 construction jobs, yielding 586 new residential units in the city.

In addition to the new projects, the board also approved the request to issue a request for proposals (RFP) for consultant services regarding updates to the BRA’s strategic visioning. The RFP is slated to open on Monday, March 21.

Below are summaries of the newly approved projects. The full board agenda and archived video stream can be found here.

Collaborative efforts between the BRA and the Department of Neighborhood Development (DND) resulted in tentative designation of Windale Developers for the Garrison Trotter Phase II project

Total Project Cost: $6,066,216
Total SF: 17,750
Construction Jobs: 13

This project is the result of nearly one year of comprehensive neighborhood planning with the Garrison Trotter Neighborhood Association (GTNA) and is representative of the commitment by Mayor Martin Walsh, DND and the BRA to leverage City-owned property to create much needed mixed-income homeownership housing.

The sites will be developed as part of Mayor Walsh’s Neighborhood Homes Initiative (NHI), a product of Housing A Changing City: Boston 2030, the Walsh administration’s comprehensive housing plan. NHI uses City-owned land and funding as a resource to create affordable and mixed-income homeownership opportunities for a range of homebuyers. In turn, this project will feature 18 residential units, 12 of which will be designated as affordable.

Upon completion, the new homes will be priced to attract a mix of moderate, middle and market rate buyers. Prices for the new affordable homes will range from $250,000 - $400,000 and will be affordable to households with a combined income of $60,000 - $100,000. The affordable moderate and middle-income homes will have a 50-year resale restriction to provide affordability for future generations of homebuyers.

New housing approved in South Boston at 232 Old Colony Avenue

Total Project Cost: $10,000,000
Total SF: 36,291
Construction Jobs: 27

This project site is located approximately five blocks northeast of Andrew Square, within walking distance of the MBTA Red Line Andrew Station. The developer, 232 Old Colony Avenue LP, has proposed to construct 24 condominium units and 3 on-site affordable units, commercial/retail restaurant space and 29 parking spaces.

The project will include a mix of 16 two-bedroom units and eight one-bedroom units within a 5-story structure. A 2,855 square foot restaurant space will also be included on the ground floor.

Of the 167 residential units, 110 will be located in the renovated Goddard House with 57 units in the new building and 22 of the total units on-site will be designated affordable.

In addition to the renovation of Goddard House and the construction of a new building, this project will include 180 spaces allotted toward indoor and outdoor bicycle parking, a combination of covered and surface vehicle parking to the tune of 83 spaces, and open space improvements that will include a landscape buffer in front of the building with new street trees to improve the pedestrian realm.

38-unit development approved for Huntington Avenue in Mission Hill

Guest Street development in Brighton approved with support during public hearing

Total Project Cost: $135,000,000
Total SF: 311,000

The proposal for 125 Guest Street in Brighton was the first during the public hearing portion of the board meeting and was met with wide support. Five community members spoke passionately about their support for this development, mentioning its ability to create jobs and enliven the neighborhood.

44 multifamily residential rental units approved for Douglass Park in the South End

Total Project Cost: $16,500,000

In addition, the Life Lab will include general and dedicated lab spaces for up to 50 individuals, including a faculty member-in-residence, conference and support spaces to promote wet lab community connections. This project, which is considered a pilot by the university, aims to build on the success of the adjacent Harvard Innovation Lab.

AG HEALEY LAUNCHES SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN IN SUPPORT OF TRANSGENDER PUBLIC ACCOMODATIONS BILL

AG HEALEY LAUNCHES SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN IN SUPPORT OF TRANSGENDER PUBLIC ACCOMODATIONS BILL
Campaign Features Videos From Caitlyn Jenner, Boston Sports Stars, Transgender Families Using the Hashtag #EveryoneWelcome

BOSTON – Attorney General Maura Healey today kicked off a social media campaign in support of legislation to protect transgender people from discrimination in public places, featuring short video messages from a mix of high-profile allies of the transgender community and families from across Massachusetts.
The social media campaign features videos from allies like Caitlyn Jenner, Kathy Griffin, Olympic gold medal winner and World Cup champion Abby Wambach, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and local supporters of the Transgender Public Accommodations Bill, including Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates, Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca and Boston Bruins center and alternate captain Patrice Bergeron.
The Transgender Public Accommodations Bill (House Bill 1577 and Senate Bill 735filed by Representatives Byron Rushing and Denise Provost, and Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz), which is pending before the Joint Committee on the Judiciary, would protect transgender people from discrimination in places of public accommodation, including restaurants, hotels, parks, movie theaters, and gyms.
 “For me, this is a fundamental civil rights issue and makes clear we respect the dignity of each and every human being in our state,” said AG Healey. “This is about young people and their families feeling safe when they go to our hospitals, our restaurants, our movie theaters and other public places. We need a law on the books that will make sure everyone is welcome regardless of their gender identity.”
Among others, the cast of the Emmy-award winning TV series “Transparent” and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh will also submit videos in support of the campaign.
The AG’s Office is asking the public to share their own short videos on social media expressing their support for the bill using the hashtag #EveryoneWelcome.
On Tuesday, AG Healey met with transgender young people, their families and members of the business community for a roundtable discussion on the importance of equality and supporting the pending legislation.
The Transgender Public Accommodations Bill is supported by the Massachusetts Major City Chiefs, the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association, the Massachusetts Teachers Association, the American Federation of Teachers, the Massachusetts Association of School Committees, the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents, all four major Boston sports teams, and businesses like Google, State Street, EMC, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Eastern Bank, Legal Sea Foods, Twitter and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.

CAPAC Leaders on House Republican’s Anti-Immigrant Amicus Brief

CAPAC Leaders on House Republican’s Anti-Immigrant Amicus Brief

Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed H.Res. 639, a resolution authorizing the Speaker of the House to file an amicus curiae on behalf of the entire House of Representatives in the matter of the United States v. Texas. In January of this year, the Supreme Court agreed to hear oral arguments in U.S. v. Texas, a challenge to the President’s executive actions on immigration known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and the expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).  CAPAC Chair Rep. Judy Chu (CA-27) and CAPAC Chair Emeritus Rep. Mike Honda (CA-17) released the following statements:

Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-27), CAPAC Chair:

“Today’s actions are unprecedented and unwarranted. With over 11 million undocumented immigrants forced into the shadows, I have fought for years for immigration reform that will keep families together and bolster our economy. But congressional Republicans repeatedly refused to act – even when a bipartisan majority agreed on the Senate’s comprehensive immigration reform bill. That is why I was overjoyed when President Obama announced an expansion of the already successful DACA program and created the new DACA program. I was encouraged when the Supreme Court agreed to hear arguments in U.S. v. Texas, the ongoing case that has stopped these executive actions from going into effect. But sadly, Republicans are instead choosing to stand in the way again.

“Immigrants are living, working, and laying deep roots in our communities, and they should be able to continue to do so without fear of being separated from their families at a moment’s notice. The security offered by DACA and DAPA means eligible families – including nearly 400,000 Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders – can continue to contribute, growing our economy. That is why these actions have the backing of about 120 mayors from cities all across the country who know how important immigrant families are to the fabric of our society. By supporting this resolution, congressional Republicans are positioning themselves in opposition to these values. Allowing aspiring Americans to continue to work and contribute without fear is the right thing to do morally, economically, and legally. And, despite the Republicans’ amicus brief, I am confident that the Supreme Court will uphold President Obama’s actions as lawful uses of executive discretion.”

Congressman Mike Honda (CA-17), CAPAC Chair Emeritus:

America has always been a land of immigrants. After being imprisoned because my parents were immigrants, no one knows that better than me. We build our country not just with people who are born here, but with those who make the difficult emotional and physical journey to come to America for a new life. Today, we voted to use taxpayer funds to speak against those immigrants, many of whom are kids who don’t know any other country. I voted against allowing Speaker Ryan to support the repeal of DACA and DAPA, because immigrants built this nation, and I want them to keep doing so.”

Background:

On November 20, 2014, President Obama announced a series of executive orders that would defer deportation for approximately 4.7 million aspiring Americans living in the U.S. The largest initiatives included an expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and the creation of a new Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program. The implementation of both programs has been suspended until ongoing litigation is resolved. On March 8, 2016, Rep. Chu joined 185 other Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and 39 Members of the U.S. Senate, in their individual capacities as Members of Congress, to file an amicus brief in support of the President’s executive action programs.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT IN CONFERENCE CALL WITH STAKEHOLDERS

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
IN
CONFERENCE CALL WITH STAKEHOLDERS


Via Telephone


12:18 P.M. EDT

     THE PRESIDENT:  Hey, everybody.  Thanks for joining the call.  I’m not going to be long because Valerie and others are giving you some of the background on this.

     As you now know, I nominated Chief Judge Merrick Garland of the D.C. Circuit to serve as the next associate justice on the Supreme Court.  This is not a decision I ever take lightly.  I’ve now seated two Supreme Court justices; this would be the third.  The men and women on the Supreme Court, they’re the final arbiters of our laws.  And it means that this is one of those moments where you have to rise above short-term politics and think about the institution of the Court, and the institution of the presidency, and how does our democracy work.

     I chose Chief Judge Garland because this guy is as well-qualified as anybody who’s ever been nominated to the Supreme Court.  That’s not just my opinion, that’s pretty much a universal opinion.  He possesses one of America’s sharpest legal minds.  He brings a spirit of decency and modesty and integrity and even-handedness to his work.  His work is excellent.  He is somebody who has worked as a prosecutor.  As you know, he is somebody who not only helped lead the investigation around the Oklahoma City bombings, but did so in a way that showed enormous compassion towards the people who had been impacted. 

     He’s been praised by Republicans and Democrats.  During his original confirmation process when he was put on the D.C. Circuit, majorities of each party supported him.  Republican Senator Orrin Hatch, who has been the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said, “In all honesty, I would like to see one person come to this floor and say one reason why Merrick Garland does not deserve this position.”  I couldn’t agree more.

     And the Constitution is clear that it’s my job as President to nominate candidates to the Supreme Court.  It’s the Senate’s job to give them a timely hearing, and an up or down vote.  I fulfilled my constitutional duty yesterday, and I expect now the Senate to do its job, as well.  And the American people deserve no less.

     But in order to make this happen, I’m going to need your help.  Republican leaders have said they believe the American people should have a say.  Well, the American people did have a say back in 2012 when they elected me President.  And they had a say when they elected the current senators as senators.  They didn’t add a caveat that said we want you to be President except for your last 300 days in office when you don’t have to fulfill your duties.  And they didn’t elect senators and say, you know what, this is only a three-quarters or a half a term; you get elected for the full term, and you’re expected to do your job during that entire time. 

     So the American people have already had a say, but now what we need to do is make sure the American people will remind senators that they have a job to do.  Senators that are trying to obstruct the process need to be told that we expect the Supreme Court to be above partisan politics, and that the Court should be operating at full capacity to help the American people.

     So you’ve got somebody with unimpeachable credentials, somebody the Republicans have themselves acknowledged is qualified.  I have made this nomination.  The Court needs to have an additional justice in order to be able to weigh on some of the most important issues that affect everybody’s lives -- our voting rights; our freedom of speech; issues like immigration; issues like our environment, clean air and clean water; issues of workplace safety.  And the notion that somehow we would suspend all that because it’s an election year is not in the Constitution and it’s not been our tradition.

     And, by the way, I think everybody on this call recognizes the election season lasts longer and longer every time.  So the election season started six months, nine months, a year ago.  Are they suggesting somehow that we should have suspended our work in December or in June of last year, when the presidential candidates were already running around Iowa?  I’m assuming that’s not the argument they’re making.

     And as Valerie already pointed out, it’s not as if we haven’t had Supreme Court nominees confirmed during election years before.  The difference is, typically, it’s been Republican Presidents making the nominations and Democratic Senates -- or Democratic majorities in the Senate who have confirmed them.  And what we’re asking is simply that the Senate acts fairly in dealing with an outstanding individual who deserves to be on the Supreme Court.

     Be fair.  That’s something we all learned in kindergarten, and it’s something that the American people I think understand should apply when it comes to the highest court in the land and how we make sure that our democracy and our judicial system work.

     So make yourselves heard.  Let senators know that this is something that you care deeply about.  And it goes beyond just the typical partisan disagreements that we have; this has to do with the integrity of our system of government.  And it’s something that I care deeply about and I’m going to make sure to fight for for the remainder of my term as President.  And I hope that you’re right there with me.  Okay?

     Thank you so much, everybody.
