My letter to the city council.
Hello. I'm a resident in North Cambridge.
I urge you to not renew City Manager Pasquale's contract. Instead, look for a city manager that prioritizes transparency.
Pasquale's refusal to explain many of his decisions, particularly his decision to block progress on municipal broadband, harms Cantabridgians' ability to believe that the government of Cambridge represents them. If initiatives and policies can be enacted or killed by an unelected boss who doesn't have to explain anything, then what is the point of the city council?
Yup, I actually used "Cantabridgian". And apparently, I spelled it wrong. There's no d in it, for some reason.
