City Council honors local hero, streetworker Will Harvey
By Tripp Underwood | Jan 29
At-Large City Councilor Felix G. Arroyo and Council President Mike Ross headed a meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 27, to honor William Harvey, a Boston outreach worker shot in the line of duty last August. Then, at the City Council meeting that followed, the two councilors filed an order for a hearing that will examine the dangers faced by city employees who aren’t public safety officers-like police or fire personnel-but still work in high-risk environments. The hearing will also focus on how said employees are compensated for injuries sustained on the job.

These traditions surround you.
