Boston Mayor Michelle Wu delivered her State of the City address, highlighting reduced homicides, new homeowner programs, museum access, and efforts to lower energy costs. Wu emphasized resistance against Trump and geared up for her reelection campaign. Challengers like philanthropist Josh Kraft criticized Wu, claiming she is failing to address housing shortages, student needs, and safety concerns. Kraft pointed out rising shootings, crime rates, and failures in projects like the White Stadium redevelopment. Wu’s claims of making Boston the safest city were debunked by Kraft’s facts on crime spikes and resident safety concerns. He also scrutinized Wu’s housing goals and the delay in school bus routes, accusing her of not fulfilling promises. The competition between Wu and Kraft intensified as they clashed on various issues affecting Boston residents. The upcoming election is set to be contentious, with Wu defending her record and Kraft aiming to replace her with promises of better governance and accountability.
