Several
groups dedicated to keeping East Somerville affordable hosted the
candidates for contested Board of Aldermen seats last Wednesday, giving
them a chance to share their ideas for a neighborhood grappling with
gentrification and a sinking economy simultaneously.
Representatives
from East Somerville Neighbors for Change, the Affordable Housing
Commission, Save Our Somerville and the Somerville Transportation
Equity Partnership asked all five alderman-at-large candidates, Ward 6
Alderman Rebekah Gewirtz, Ward 6 challenger James Campano and Ward 1
Alderman Bill Roche questions on the Green Line, progress on the
rebuilding of the East Somerville Community School and job creation.
All of the candidates' answers are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese at www.somervillecdc.org
