Documenting the journey leading up to my walk from Boston, MA to Washington, DC. Activism, News(ish), Discussion, and Search Engine Optimization. This blog is a notebook of ideas, politics, praxis, and life choices that I've run into as I'm exploring this zany world of activism. Think of each post as a page in a greater "book" or a road sign on a journey. -KC Hoye

During your long reign as Mayor...
AN OPEN LETTER TO MAYOR THOMAS M. MENINO
Dear Mayor Menino,
In an article in the Boston Herald dated July 20, 2012, you are quoted as saying, “You can’t have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against a population. We’re an open city, we’re a city that’s in the forefront of inclusion”.
We agree that any kind of discrimination should be unwelcome in the City of Boston We, the undersigned, would like to commend you for the strong statements that you made regarding “Chick-Fil-A” because you felt that its practices were discriminatory. Although we applaud the ideals you espouse, the facts don’t comply with the rhetoric. If you feel so strongly that discrimination is wrong, you should look to all of the discriminatory practices that you have allowed to exist in the City during your reign.

Mass. Department of Corrections Master Plan: 2020 Projections
Mass. Department of Corrections Master Plan: 2020 Projections
Massachusetts Department of Corrections Master Plan: 2020 projections.
Introduction to Executive Summary:
"As a strategic capital plan, this Corrections Master Plan (CMP) has focused on the system as a whole in order to identify the most cost-effective approach to investing capital dollars in the Massachusetts Correctional System. This comprehensive approach provides a framework to meet the projected bedspace needs into 2020, address current overcrowding, and create a better coordinated system that is both efficient and cost-effective. Application of a new Standards–based capacity (CMP Baseline Capacity) indicates that the system housing 2009 populations has a current shortfall of approximately [over 9000] bedspaces, before considering growth in populations.
