Mayor Menino in today’s Globe:
It’s not my job as mayor to help developers become rich. My job is to plan the city.
Oh?
Shirley Kressel is the go-to for pithy, pointed comment on development vs. planning at the BRA and in the City of Boston. I hope she will weigh in.
Please share widely!
Shirley and I are working on some open meeting stuff today. I read this in the paper this morning and was going to do a “this is what he says, vs. this is what he means”

p>The comment you posted should be read as “It’s not my job to help developers become rich. It is developers jobs to put as much money into my campaign fund and bow at my feet so that I will allow them to build bigger. Why do you think we have a zoning code for sale anyway?”
