But Councillor Kenneth E. Reeves '72, chair of the rent control subcommittee, said that many of the objections raised against the proposals by owners and tenants have been specious and misinformed.
"The longer I am in this council chamber, the more learned I become in the following technique, and that technique is to take something that hasn't been said, to say it and to disagree with it," Reeves told on-lookers in Sullivan Chamber.
Reeves says he spearheaded the 10-member "goodwill delegation," which traveled to Haiti for a week in mid-March, to "support the first democratic elections since 1957" and to choose a sister city for Cambridge. The delegation narrowed the final list down to Cathitia and Gonaiue, Reeves says.
