RE: Animal abuse / starving continues and accelerates on the Charles along with tree and environmental destruction. Continued and accelerating animal / tree / environment destruction particularly in the mile of the Charles River centered on the BU Bridge which is implemented in SECRECY. The Harm and the SECRECY must end .
The Cambridge, MA, USA, City Council will be receiving our letter with the above title on January 23, 2023. It may be read at: https://cambridgema.iqm2.com/citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=1&ID=3797&Inline=True, Pages 266 to 290.
The outrageous situation on the Charles is continuing with the pols lying about environmental sainthood and assisted by a well organized but small bunch of cheerleaders. This letter, as long as it is, goes into a lot of detail on the ongoing outrage and the SECRECY involved.
The new City Manager has been of assistance in passing on our December 1 letter to the Cambridge Conservation Commission, resulting in an email response by them, followed by our detailed 8 point follow up email with a lot of attachments less than 5 hours later. This latest letter was delayed, trying to give the Cambridge Conservation Commission an opportunity to, at least, reply through the City Manager. After all, they did say they welcomed our response. As is normal with the government of the City of Cambridge, there has been no response, but the City Manager passing on that direction was encouraging.
I have commonly posted such letters here in total. My current situation involves a work overload on my paid employment as a SAG AFTRA actor. Part of my duties during the next month involve watching all of the nominated movies and all of the seasons of the nominated TV shows in order to cast my ballot for the SAG Awards. Duty calls. That will have to take priority, and it amounts to a very massive time commitment.
You definitely can read the letter at the above URL. It is a bit awkward to access.
I also have the letter and attachments available in PDF copies, three total, to keep file size manageable. I will be pleased to provide them on request to boblat@yahoo.com. The structure is that the first file is the first 8 pages of the letter, then pages 9 to 21, then the five pages of attachments, including the exchange of emails, but not the massive attachments to my email.
Here is the first page of the letter. It amounts to a summary in slide format.
And here, copied from the off line copy of page 2, is the index:

2. Base Communications.
3. Cambridge Conservation Commission Secrecy. No public communication of activities.
4. Pattern of secrecy and destruction in City Council Votes.
A. Secrecy of votes is used to keep Constituents from knowledge.
B. “New” dock and Starvation Wall Games make destruction unchanged or worse than the destruction of the 2000's. Animal abuse rather clearly is key.

E. Activities further west continue antipathy toward ground vegetation and toward healthy trees.
F. Destruction of key trees at the Pedestrian Overpass Just one Example of Way too Much Destruction.

B. Her Record as a supposed community activist.
(1) Assisting destruction by the DCR and Cambridge in this region and plus in the area east of this region running to the Longfellow Bridge, and
(2) I have seen her and her associates repeatedly lie to people that no trees were being destroyed at Magazine Beach or were planned to be destroyed.
C. The City Council through its assistant has “persuaded” the DCR to substitute “Public Review” solely by Ms. XXXXX and designees for the public review which is is supposedly being done west of JFK Street.

A. Landsdowne Station / the Wild Area.
