Governor Deval Patrick: “It’s hard to imagine Boston without Tom Menino as mayor. No one loves this City and her people more, or is more excited about her future. Mayor Menino has become a valued partner to me on policy and politics, and a trusted and beloved friend. I thank him for his extraordinary and tireless service to the people of Boston, and look forward to leaning on his wisdom for many more years to come.”

Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray: ““For the last twenty years, Mayor Tom Menino has given his heart and soul in serving the City of Boston. He has been an effective leader for the city and Commonwealth, exemplifying the blocking and tackling of government. From my time as mayor of Worcester, he has been a friend to me and has mentored so many who have had the privilege to cross his path over the years. I wish Tom, and his wife Angela, the very best in the future.”
Mayor Lisa Wong of Fitchburg, Mass.: “Mayor Menino has been a great mentor for many mayors over the years never hesitating to share his expertise or initiatives. In particular, Mayor Menino helped the city of Fitchburg develop plans to address health inequities, address the foreclosure crisis, and most recently, improve constituent services with the Citizens Connect phone app. He will be missed.” |
President of CCBA New England Rick Wong: “The Chinatown community greatly appreciates Mayor Menino’s longtime support of our community activities that included the Chinese New Year Lion Dance Parade, Chinatown Main Street Spring Festival, and the August Moon Festival. We are greatly appreciated for his commitment to Chinatown Main Street. We will always remember his efforts to expedite housing for the residents who were displaced by the 2012 rooming house fire. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”
