Boston ceremony honors Mayor Menino legacy at city park dedication

BOSTON — August 3, 2022 — Boston commemorates Mayor Menino's open-space legacy at a park ceremony. A city official, unidentified in the broadcast, credited the late Mayor Thomas M. Menino with transforming a former trash site into a public green space enjoyed by Boston families, calling the effort "an incredible reminder of what's possible in this city." The speaker invoked fellow Menino-era figures including council colleague Sal Amatina and State Representative Aaron Michael, and asked Menino alumni in attendance to raise their hands. Angela Menino, the late mayor's wife, was introduced as a closing speaker. No committee business or formal votes were conducted during the broadcast.
