Life in "Progress" City - Cambridge MA edition

At least one Cambridge city councilor won’t be supporting MIT until the university pledges to put its workers first.

During a hearing about recent MIT staff layoffs Monday, Councilor Marjorie Decker told representatives from the university that she would not back MIT when it comes before the Council for permits or other approvals.

“I will not be engaging in any conversations about other needs of the university until I have a better handle on what the university is doing to really, meaningfully, show that workers are a priority,” said Decker during a meeting of the City Council’s university relations subcommittee.

Staff layoffs at MIT were necessary to help close a $125 million budget deficit, but the university has no plans to cut more jobs, school officials said during the hearing.


Is it just me, or does it seem that liberals are going "all in" and really trying to ruin our society?

Not only bankrupting you own city but taking everyone else down with you?

Now that's "Progressive"!
