wasted no time talking
about his plans.

For the first time in two de-
cades, Bostonians will wake up
today with a new mayor

‘Marty Walsh became mayor
just after 11 am. Monday when
he was swom in during a cer
emony attended by thousands
of people at Boston College's
Conte Forum.

In his first speech as mayor,
Walsh touched on a wide range
of topics while repeatedly re
ferving to a theme of working
together

“We are a city upon a hill,
but it's not just the shining
light of Beacon Hill, It's Savin
Hill, where | live. It's Bunker
Hill, Bellevue Hill and Fort Hill.
It’s Pope's Hill, Jones Hill and
Telegraph Hill i's Copp’s Hill,
Mission Hill and Eagle Hill”
‘Walsh said. “We are in this to-
gether, .. We will expand op-
portunity so it reaches every
person. in every corner of our
City, We cannot tolerate a city
divided by privilege and pov-
erty, We will protect and grow
our sense of community, for it
is Boston’s greatest source of
strength.”

Walsh, 46, won a close
November election with about
51 percent of the vote. He beat

Violence a key
issue for Walsh

Mayor Marty Walsh spent
much of his first day at the
helm of the city talking
about his desire to curb
violence in Boston.

In his inaugural
speech, Walsh said he
plans to “redouble” the
City’s public safety
efforts.

“We have to make
our communities safer to
secure a future of opportu
nity for our kids,” he said.

Just hours after being
sworn in, Walsh met with,
mothers of homicide
victims, police officials,
violence prevention lead-
ers and others at his City
Hall office

“We are losing far too
‘many young people to
senseless violence,” Walsh
said,

Connolly, who attended Mon-
day's swearingin ceremony.
‘Since the win, Walsh has been
working on his transition, but
he must now switch to govern-
ing.

‘While he's announced ap-
ointments to positions includ-
Ing chief of staff and head of
Health and Human Services,
Walsh must still decide on a

schools superintendent and po
lice and fire commissioners.

In his inaugural speech,
Walsh outlined specific goals
for his term: improving educa-
tion and auditing public educa-
tion spending, strengthening
the economy and creating jobs,
improving public safety, and in-
<reasing trust and transparency
in city government.

Specifically, Walsh _men-
tioned his campaign promises
to restructure the Boston Re
development Authority and
reform the city’s permitting
and licensing process, which he
called “a complicated maze of
rales and regulations.”

Walsh also said he would
«create a new Ethics Committe.

Monday's two-hour cer
‘emony featured a performance
by cellist Yo-Yo Ma, who played
a version of “Danny Boy.” and
Irish tenor Ronan Tynan closed
‘out the event by singing "God
Bless America,” but not before
telling the crowd, “It's a great
day to be Iris

‘Walsh, a former state repre-
sentative from Dorchester, was
called “a good, kind and caring
man” and “a dedicated public
servant” by Gov. Deval Patrick.

‘Also speaking at the cere
mony was Suffolk County Civil
‘Court Clerk Michael Donovan,
who told Walsh, “Ne

Anice surprise

Walking into his new office
on the fifth floor of City
Hall, Mayor Marty Walsh
found someone already sit-
‘ting in his chair

“| walked in the office,
‘my mother was sitting in
the chair," Walsh said at an
afternoon news conference
at City Hall

Before he became
‘mayor, his predecessor,
‘Tom Menino, left him a

letter and a set of keys.
Menino did not attend
Walsh's swearing-in
ceremony.

When asked what
Menino wrote in the letter,
Walsh said he had yet to
read it

“L haven't opened it yet
because too many people
were in the office.” he said.
“It's on the desk with a set
of keys. 'm not sure where
the keys lead to, but it’s on
