Governor Charlie Baker Announces Appointment of Terrence Reidy as Secretary of Public Safety and Security

BOSTON — Governor Charlie Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito today announced the appointment of Terrence Reidy as Secretary of the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. Reidy has served as Acting Secretary since July, when he was appointed to replace former Secretary Thomas Turco, III following Secretary Turco’s retirement.

“Secretary Reidy has spent his career focused on keeping Massachusetts’ families and communities safe, from his time as a prosecutor to his service in our Administration, most recently as Acting Secretary,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “Terry is a proven leader who has effectively guided the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security these past few months, and we are confident that he will continue to lead with distinction.”

“From collaborating with local law enforcement to overseeing the Commonwealth’s efforts to monitor and respond to potential homeland security threats, the role of Public Safety Secretary is critically important, and we are pleased that Secretary Reidy will continue to serve in this capacity,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “We are glad to have him on our team and wish him well as he continues his service.”

“I am deeply grateful to the Governor and Lt. Governor for their confidence in me. I am honored to serve Massachusetts in this role of ensuring the safety and security of our communities across the Commonwealth,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy. “Alongside the dedicated team at EOPSS, I am eager to continue working closely with the Administration, the Legislature, state and local agencies and our community partners in advancing policies that result in meaningful progress.”

Prior to his appointment as Acting Secretary in July, Reidy served as Undersecretary for Law Enforcement, a position he held since 2019. In that capacity, he has provided strategic leadership to the Massachusetts State Police, the Municipal Police Training Committee, and the Office of Grants and Research. In addition, Reidy served as a member of the Governor’s Task Force on Hate Crimes. Drawing on his prosecutorial experience collaborating with community leaders, he oversaw the creation of a hate crime resource guide for Massachusetts schools and partnered with police to ensure that every department in the Commonwealth has a trained, dedicated civil rights officer.  

Before joining the Administration, Reidy was an Assistant Attorney General in the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office and Assistant District Attorney in Worcester and Suffolk Counties. In addition to his work in government, Reidy dedicates time to volunteering as a coach for several youth sports organizations. He completed his undergraduate studies at Colby College and earned his juris doctor from New England School of Law.

聯邦法官裁決波士頓考試學校錄取新策合法

           (Boston Orange 編譯) 一名聯邦地區法院法官又一次地拒絕丟棄波士頓考試校的新入學政策，週五(10月1日) 發出一份嚴厲裁決，批評學校人員，以及挑戰市府增加入學申請者多元化努力的家長群。

威廉楊(William Young)法官最後重新確認他早前的裁決，學校委員會根據種族、社會經濟及區域號碼來錄取符合資格學生的新政策是合法的。

波士頓市三所考試學校入學機會有限，其中最有聲望的波士頓拉丁校長期多元性不足，一直是波士頓持續最久的爭議之一。關於這狀況的法律挑戰有很長的歷史，威廉楊法官做了有關此事的最新決定。

在長達55頁的判決書中，楊法官指「支持學業優異波士頓家長聯盟(Boston Parent Coalition for Academic Excellence)」持續提出錯誤的法律論點，儘管在該法院轄區內有明確的相反法律，卻稱波士頓學區的計畫不是”族裔中立”。他也引述其他的法律支持論述，包括高等法院否決了家長們早前提出的上訴案。

威廉楊法官寫道”這法律一直，而且也仍然清晰:當政府的行動表面上族裔中立並一致適用時，在缺乏相反行動會造成不同影響，產生令人反感的有歧視性目的情況下，就推定其為善意。

這一法律挑站儘管迄今不成功，但出現了幾個值得注意的轉折，威廉楊法官關於這個案的最後評論，對那些最受這爭議影響者- 學生，還包括一個不尋常訊息。

7月中，揚威連法官極不尋常的撤消了他最初拒絕受理此案的意見，因為他說他相信學校系統的律師們，把帶有種族歧視的簡訊文字從法院紀錄中刪除，誤導了他。

在這些簡訊文字中，波士頓學校委員會委員Alexandra Oliver-Dávila和Lorna Rivera抱怨” 白人種族主義者”，以及西洛士百利(West Roxbury)白人居民，而且預估他們會反對使用學生區域號碼做為增加波士頓三所考試校族裔及社會經濟多元化方法的錄取計畫。

裁決出來後，家長群向楊威廉法官辯稱，這些隱瞞了的簡運文字，阻礙了他們為這案情做的準備。不過揚威連法官在週五的裁決中，駁回了那個論點，同時質疑為什麼那些文字沒有公佈出來。

              揚威連法官在裁決書中直接向學生喊話，問道「你們在追蹤這個案子嗎?不是一個很有啟發性的奇觀，是嗎?」，「根據法律，波士頓學校委員會負有在預算可能範圍內，為你們每一個人提供最好教育的責任。在投票決定你們的考試學校錄取計畫時，當時的主席模仿你們中的有些人，你們的父母或你們的朋友。當時的其中2名委員發簡訊說他們”恨”你，你的父母，你的朋友」。

              「而我呢?審判法官? – 結果顯示我是個很樂觀的人 (Pollyanna) 想要相信人類比這個案件中顯現得更好，這可能是你們一直都知道的」。

              “你能比這更好”，”以愛及尊重，你會的”，”我們指望你”。

MAYOR KIM JANEY, BPDA UNVEIL MURAL AT CARTER POST

MAYOR KIM JANEY, BPDA UNVEIL MURAL AT CARTER POST  Delivers on PLAN: Mattapan goals identified by the community     BOSTON - Friday, October 1, 2021 - Mayor Kim Janey and the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) unveiled a mural created by local artist Jeremy ‘Sobek’ Harrison at the Carter Post at 1531 Blue Hill Avenue in Mattapan. The mural was funded through a $15,000 grant from the BPDA, part of a $75,000 investment in public art in Mattapan, and was done in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture. This mural celebrates William E. Carter Post 16’s 100th anniversary. The Carter Post is the first chartered African-American Massachusetts Post, created by the members of the famed 372nd Infantry that served in France with the Red Hand Brigade.     “The Carter Post is a vital part of our city’s history, and of the history of Mattapan,” said Mayor Kim Janey. “Throughout the BPDA’s PLAN: Mattapan process, we’ve frequently heard the importance of increased public art in the neighborhood. I am so pleased we can properly honor the anniversary of the Carter Post, as well as the Mattapan community, with this local, original artwork.” "It was a pleasure working with the BPDA, the community group and Sobek on this creation of peace, family and Community,” said Mary-dith Tuitt, Commander of the Wm. E. Carter American Legion Post 16. “The members of the Carter Post 16 were able to watch the birth of his vision from brick wall to Stars and Stripes. And they both portray the passion of service to the public and respect for the military " Sobek is a graffiti artist who has been creating since he was a child growing up in Mattapan, a neighborhood he says in many ways raised him.  "I wanted to depict a sense of nature, and community love in representation of the Mattahunt tribe, as well as paying respects to those who gave their life, as well as those still fighting for a better world,” said Sobek. “The process has been a blessing because of the community support. Thanks to the youth who took pictures and the seasoned veterans who supplied me with more knowledge.” The Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture also commissioned Sobek for a long-term interior public artwork at the Roxbury Branch. It's being funded by the City's Percent for Art Program, and the artist is in the design phase of the project right now. This mural unveiling follows a mural unveiled in May created by local teens at the Mattapan Teen Center. Both projects are part of the PLAN: Mattapan Public Art Project, which builds on the Agency’s PLAN: Mattapan study and delivers on the plan’s short-term implementation items identified by the community to support the creation of temporary public art in Mattapan. Launched in 2018, PLAN: Mattapan's goal is to work with the community to create a comprehensive vision to shape inclusive growth and investment throughout the neighborhood. As part of this project, two additional locations for murals in Mattapan are being explored by the BPDA. Mattapan property owners interested in hosting a mural should contact BPDA Community Engagement Manager Kenya Beaman. The BPDA is also budgeting another $75,000 for public art as part of its PLAN: Newmarket study. With the Mayor's office of Arts and Culture, the agency is exploring unique opportunities for public art that are expressive of Newmarket.  The BPDA is leading an unprecedented number of planning studies alongside Boston’s communities, each guided by Imagine Boston 2030, the first city-wide master plan in 50 years aimed at guiding growth. There are neighborhood planning studies moving forward in Charlestown, Downtown, Dorchester’s Glover’s Corner, Mattapan, Newmarket and East Boston, and the Western Ave Corridor and planning guidelines have been passed for PLAN: JP/Rox, PLAN: South Boston Dorchester Avenue, and PLAN: Nubian Square. The South Boston Seaport Strategic Transit Plan and Allston-Brighton Mobility Study are identifying specific mobility recommendations.
