Dear Paul Kelly,

A comment on your "third". You are asking Avedisian to "step in". You accurately state that it is not unprecedented but that he never did it. His predecessors did. In my opinion he won't. He never has and he never will.

I will not be that kind of Mayor. BEFORE I hand over $160 million dollars of taxpayer money I will require some level of accountability. I will ask some questions. I understand that I must be accountable to the taxpayers, therefore I will require more from the School Department. I like what former Mayor Walsh did. He locked them in a room and "wouldn't let them out until they had a contract". I might not be that bold but I might do it symbolically, say, in a restaurant. Also, I will be available for as much or as little as both sides want (as long as the law allows). The biggest issue facing our City today is the schools. We must settle this. It's hurting our City too much and I will work day and night to correct it. Count on it.

Happy Autumn Paul.
