Thank you @FortPointer for your sleuthing on WS/Sclar connection!
Still steaming that @leung tried to pin resi property tax increases on Wu. Even ChatGPT gagged on that BS during a deep dive. All said, this latest column is a good read. (SL, you're welcome for my discovery of the WS/Sclar connection. Prove otherwise!)

The mayor maintained a busy schedule, from press briefings to tree lightings, managing to keep the focus on her policies instead of her growing belly.

Josh Kraft, the longtime nonprofit leader and scion of a billionaire, is still weighing whether to run against Boston Mayor Michelle Wu — but it’s possible he’s just been waiting for the right moment to make it official, writes @leung.

The answer, @leung, is “no”. If the Bruins & Celtics have been able to share a venue for 75ish yrs, Revs & Boston’s @NWSL squad can. Pats shared venues w/ Red Sox BC & Harvard for 10+ yrs. Fleet shares w/ UMass Lowell. Cmon. Pragmatism, plz! @MattaSavage
