At one point, Councillor Kenneth E. Reeves ’72 said, “The legislature is not going to sign this,” and one woman shouted, “We have a right to try!”
In the end, though, the debate bounced back to ownership of the Charles—with Reeves quoting G. Pebble Gifford, a leader of the Harvard Square Defense Fund.
“Rome has the Tiber, Paris has the Seine, and they don’t build high-rises, so why should we allow them on the Charles?” Reeves said.
Simmons, along with Councillor Kenneth E. Reeves ’71, Decker and Councillor Tim Toomey, made it clear that they supported the Carlson petition over anything Harvard had presented. Several of them also made the suggestion that Harvard discontinue development in Cambridge, and focus on construction in Allston.
In addition to Decker, Councillors Kenneth E. Reeves ’72, E. Denise Simmons, and Timothy J. Toomey, Jr. have pledged their support of the Carlson petition, according to study committee members.
