It was inauguration day Monday for mayors in several Massachusetts cities
The biggest change was in Boston, where former state legislator Marty Walsh became that city’s 48th mayor, succeeding Tom Menino who retired after 20 years as mayor of the state’s largest city. In Chicopee, Richard Kos was sworn in as mayor. It’s his second time in the office having served a decade ago.
"Like most urban communities in the northeast we have infrastructure, job creation, public safety and education as the primary focus."
Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse, who made national news when he was elected to the office straight out of college two years ago, was sworn in to begin a second two –year term. Also starting a second two year term is Mayor David Narkewicz in Northampton.
