Channel 7 Story
| May 16, 2005
| Channel 7 ran an investigative piece by Hank Phillippi Ryan on the groundwater issue on May 11. The piece showed some alarming video of houses and homeowners with problems, a brief snip with Jim Lambrechts talking about a particular house where it's too late to just raise the water level, and several brief responses from public officials including Andrew Gottlieb, Jim Hunt, Joe Pesaturo (MBTA), and me. The piece on Channel 7's website includes a link to our site. The day after the story ran, we had a huge increase in numbers on the site. We will have the video on our website; it is up on Channel 7's site as well. In addition, we have posted the script. Interestingly enough, the first phone response to the piece that I received was from a homeowner in East Boston who said this sounded like just what was happening to her home (East Boston was not mentioned as a potential problem area in the piece). This could be additional validation of the decision to go into that section of the City. |
