BOSTON -- The Wu administration has acknowledged it has compiled a list of Mayor Michelle Wu’s most vocal critics and sent it to the Boston Police Department, claiming security concerns.
“The list was made in response to a request from the Boston Police Department after the Mayor had been harassed and physically intimidated by individuals for several months outside her home, at city functions such as the annual neighborhood parks coffee hours, and at other public events,” Wu spokesman Ricardo Patron said in a statement to the Herald.
This is the first time the Wu administration has admitted it compiled such a list, which was uncovered in an email by a group of Wu opponents through a public records request.
