An emotional Boston Mayor Marty Walsh delivered what may have been his last State of the City address on Tuesday, as he prepares for a new post as President-elect Joe Biden's labor secretary.
Acknowledging his pending departure, Walsh said that he'll bring the city, "my heart," with him to Washington, and that as part of the Biden administration, he "will work to make sure it's the best federal partner Boston and America's cities ever had."
Walsh gave the annual speech virtually, devoting much of it to the coronavirus pandemic that's ravaged the city and country. But he also touched on his achievements not only from the past year but over his seven-year tenure at City Hall. And he declared that Boston may be struggling, but it's positioned for a strong recovery.
