7. We can do all that we can as councillors to confer with the school committee and try to be sure along with the school committee that we are getting the most educational benefit for the dollar spent.
8. Yes.
9. There are many grassroots campaigns, like the Howard Dean campaign that I’m involved with, that seem to reach out to students with success.
10. The Green Street Grill and the Central Kitchen.
11. Have a cup of coffee upstairs at the Algiers in Harvard Square.

1. The preservation of the Kerry Corner neighborhood, the downzoning of other residential neighborhood streets, the additional parkland at Mahoney’s, the agreement to historically preserve the NSTAR site and the new units of affordable housing.
2. The two most important issues: creating a partnership to improve the public schools and agreeing on reasonable development of the area north of Porter Square.
3. I would be satisfied with a significant commitment toward the improvement of the public schools backed up with funds and cooperative agreements that included faculty and students—for tutoring.
4. I do not support the current rent control proposal...It raises false hopes and false fears. It will not pass at the state house, I am not convinced that it will increase the supply of housing, which is the best method to drive prices down...
5. We need to continue our level of support for low and moderate income tenants; now percent of all Cambridge housing is subsidized. In the next term I believe the City Council should focus on affordability for middle income residents by such things as promoting the building of middle income family housing.
6. The Police Department needs a close working relationship with the community to prevent and to solve crimes. Unfortunately the police union contract does not promote that practice—in fact it stands in the way of such community oriented policing.
7. The City Council together with the School Committee should speak with one voice to the universities about how university resources can be most helpful.
8. I am so proud for all I did to pass the smoking ban in all restaurants and bars.
9. Certainly students could bring issues like late night eateries to the attention of the City Council. Even without such issues there are important policy questions—about housing, about global warming, and the Patriot Act—to name a few, that the city would benefit from the energy and involvement of students.
