Newton must be given its fair shake. Residents here have been very patient, but there's a limit to the number of times they will put up with being passed over for improved amenities and public facilities.

Families everywhere in this city need to have the same opportunities. We can't create a city of haves and have-nots. It's not working. 140,000 people live in Newton. That alone deserves some respect and attention.
