As Boston's mayoral election nears, Kraft (R) hits Wu (D) on every topic possible

ehind in recent polling and with Boston’s Sept. 9 preliminary election fast approaching, mayoral hopeful Josh Kraft is hitting Mayor Michelle Wu from every angle possible.

On Thursday, Kraft accused the Wu administration of working with allies on the City Council to repeatedly delay hearings on controversial topics, an attempt to avoid the issues until after the election, he said.

He stood outside City Hall alongside Councilors Erin Murphy and Ed Flynn, Wu critics who had recently raised the issue in the press.

Kraft described how Flynn had put forth a resolution to declare a public health emergency in the area of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard, known as Mass. and Cass, the center of the city’s substance abuse crisis.
