Mayor-elect Katjana Ballantyne has selected an outgoing Boston cabinet member to lead a transition process that "builds upon existing strengths while emphasizing the fact-based best practices needed to deliver top-quality services, strong social progress, and make Somerville a model for municipal governance."
Curtatone said, "Mayor-Elect Ballantyne has worked systematically to build upon what's currently working, keep and recruit top talent and ideas based on merit, and inject a focus on equity into every conversation. It's good to know I'm leaving Somerville in ethical, competent, compassionate hands."
