To the Editor:
A "tireless campaigner"? Absolutely! "Shocked." Yes, its easy to play to a crowd, but my statements to the tenants were honest and their lack of endorsement does not mean I will abandon their interests. "Fighting back tears?" Hardly. A snappy dresser? "Aggressive?" Its great to be a woman candidate. A stalking horse for Brattle Street conservatives? Silly talk at a time when there's much too much at stake. Equivocal about housing policies in cambridge? No, just honest. Anyone pushing simplistic rhetoric about housing is not serving the best interests of the cause they champion. I have met too many elderly poor being squeezed out of their apartments, seen too much dilapidated housing, seen too many moderate income families forced to leave the city to say all is well.
