""In place of that address, I really wanted to make sure that we were putting a focus on where our investments just can change the whole world and our future. That is in our young people, our families, our public schools, public education," Wu told host Jimmy Hills."
"In her interview Wednesday, Wu said this move was because the bureau spread "misinformation" about the city's finances."
""State of the Schools""
Mayor Michelle Wu will deliver the inaugural "State of the Schools" address on Oct. 28 from 7 to 8 p.m. at Josiah Quincy Upper School in Chinatown, with a city website stream. The address replaces the traditional mayoral speech at the Boston Municipal Research Bureau's annual lunch after Wu declined to attend, citing that the bureau spread "misinformation" about city finances. The dispute centers on Wu's effort to temporarily shift property tax burdens onto commercial taxpayers, a proposal opposed by the bureau and not yet passed through the state Legislature. Wu emphasized investing in young people, families, and public schools and is overseeing school closures and mergers due to declining enrollment and building needs.
