How much did this recruiting event cost Cambridge taxpayers?
On June 14, 2005, the City of Cambridge hosted an elaborate birthday party for the US Army on the Commons. Vice-Mayor Marjorie Decker, who sponsored the City Council's unanimous welcoming resolution, showed up at the event in opposition. City Manager Bob Healy personally supervised the plainclothes and tactical police who forcibly expelled war opponents from the public park. [photo: A Worried Song]
