The CCC home page claims that "Transparency is the key issue in this election." A couple of months ago, the websites of CCC and its predecessor, CCFRR, were completely anonymous and were publishing lots of misinformation about housing in Cambriidge. Your late-blooming support for "transparency" is welcome but suspect. Voters should be skeptical and wary about what they read here.

James - welcome to CCC! You are referring to our changing materials on the AHO, the controversial citywide up-zoning proposal called the "Affordable Housing Overlay" that was tabled in September by City Council. That proposal was changed considerably since it was initiated by CDD. We changed information with those changes and anything that we put up that was inaccurate we removed. We were founded in May and it took us several months to develop a city-wide board of directors and advisors. We encourage everyone to go to our About page and look at our 23 person Board of Directors and 16 person Board of Advisors: https://www.cccoalition.org/about.html. Leave a Reply. |
