We are lucky to have a number of historical properties in the City of Medford and even luckier to have such dedicated people to look after them and help them prosper. Our historical districts, as well as the Royal House, the Peter Tufts House, the Brooks Estates, the Medford Pipe bridge Middlesex Fells Reservation, and the Salem street burial ground are just a part of this city's history.
The city can protect and invest in its historic resources by continuing to support the different organizations and the people who make them thrive day in and day out. We also need to make sure these resources are well maintained, which means helping out with the funding, as we have done in the past. The City Council on a number of occasions has appropriated money to help these resources, for example, the roof at the Brooks Estates. I will continue to be a supporter of Medford's historical resources and will take each bond initiative as it comes. I like to decide on issues, especially when it deals with going out to bond, when all the information is on the table and all of my questions have been answered.
