mr. mike gonzalez -- mr.onzales, in the wake of the miramax malagasy explosions, "i am concerned about using gas as an energy source, both from a safety and long-term climate perspective. how big a role do you think natural gas should play in our energy future?" mr. gonzalez: i strongly exposed -- oppose expanding natural gas infrastructure in the state and this is a big difference between myself and governor baker. we need to move more aggressively to a true clean energy economy and it is not just because of the greenhouse gas emission impact of natural gas, but we were reminded this is very dangerous. i support no more gas pipelines in this state, accelerating our transition to renewable energy sources. we should be the first in the nation to adopt carbon pricing. i am going to be a bold leader on this issue, which we were reminded by the u.n. panels report, this is an even bigger threat to our planet and much more urgent issue than we even thought before. this is one example among many where the status quo

mr. gonzalez, one minute. mr. nzalez: the criminal justice system is the biggest civil rights issue of our time. there are big disparities in arrest rates and incarceration rates. i have a progressive agenda. the legislature thankfully took the lead on this and passed a bill that takes a number of great steps in the right direction. i think we can go further in some areas. i support eliminating all mandatory minimum sentences, except for murder. i think we need to make sure that we are really investing in a diversionary programs -- in diversion or programs -- diversionary programs to address the underlying causes like mental health issues and addiction. we need to make sure we are not jailing people because they are poor, witch is happening. we have a much higher incarceration rate than most other countries in the world. we can make communities safer and i am going to provide bold leadership to make sure we get there. jon: rebuttal? gov. baker: i agree with some of the things my opponent said. probably the reason w

mr. gonzalez: no i don't. this is the issue i hear the most about everywhere i go on the campaign trail. we have one of the worst transportation systems in the country. people are sitting in traffic longer than any state. people cannot depend on the public transit system to get to work on time. i have a plan to deal with it. i will ask the wealthy to pay an additional $3 billion to invest in our education and transportation. we have to be honest with voters that we need to invest more to get the transportation system where it needs to be. we should try innovative things like the pilot program you mentioned to discount told steering nonpeak hours and i supported that. we need our public transit system to be one that people can depend on so they want to get off the roads and use it. we need to invest more in it to get to that place. >> governor? gov. baker: i don't disagree with him in the fact that we need to invest more. our investments over the next five years between roads and bridges and public transfers --

mr. gonzalez: way of doing it? mr. gonzalez: the governor had legislators ended up on his desk in spite of him rather than because of him. we have to make sure people understand the choice here on transportation. governor baker is offering is reducing funding for roads and bridges across the state and trying to reduce funding for regional transit authority. the governor refused to do a debate in western massachusetts. the t will be in a state of good repair in 15 years. he has not said how he will pay for that. i am being upfront with people. i will ask the wealthy to pay more in taxes so we raise $3 billion a year by the end of my first term which is a significant amount of additional revenue that will allow us to get the tea to a place where people can depend on it much faster than the governor. that is the choice. >> we have to move ahead. let's talk about energy in a second. the other day, in an environmental form, you would not into this question. you said you would rather focus on repairing infrastructure. with wh

mr. gonzalez? >> i strongly support a woman's right to choose, including to answer your question, john, eliminating the age for consent. i'm very proud to have the endorsement of pro-choice massachusetts, and i'm going to do everything i can to protect a woman's right to choose. governor baker has endorsed jeff deal to replace elizabeth warren in the senate. jeff deal, the co chair of donald trump's campaign right here in massachusetts and would be a rubber stamp for the trump agenda. and by backing jeff deal, governor baker is supporting an antichoice agenda as well as an anti-lgbtq, pro nra agenda. i would never support someone like that who could tip the balance in the united states senate. someone would have voted to confirm kavanaugh and might vote to confirm the next kavanaugh. i'm curious, governor, why you have supported jeff deal. >> response. >> like i said months ago, as the governor of the commonwealth, that i would endorse the ticket, whoever won the primaries. but my positions on thes

mr. gonzalez: it is a huge problem. the most fundamental responsibility collectively through government is to ensure every child has access to great public education. we are falling down on that job and governor baker has been governor for four years and made no progress on the fact that we have some of the biggest achievement gaps in the country. and the funding disparities are growing even bigger. two things that are big priorities of mine. one, making sure child care and preschool is affordable and accessible to every family and child. it has been proven to begin changing for lower income kids in terms of their success in school and life afterwards. we to fully fund our public schools. both of those things will cost money. i have a plan to fund them to raise $3 billion from the wealthy to invest in transportation and education. the governor's plan is zero. he continues with inflationary increases while we are underfunding the lower school come -- school income districts. >> with all due respect, i asked the governor

doesn't like this whole sitting thing but here mr gonzalez. so what do you think. excited to see him if position because she's to be. running biking there psyche everything. i think given that cyborgs. city i think jim. i think any head that comes from technology would be. off the hall from now arash gets to control the exit of suit himself so there's four different buttons that would trigger the first step to take any one of the buttons would you describe . lead on the right this is easier is it because you were more in control yeah it's kind of like i just have to figure out where to go. already the psychological benefits all clear for us it's not normal to be used creating your head up all the time. feels like you're. part of society a part of your communication and conversations again. you know the future is going to get really exciting just in the bio on experience in general i think you're going to be able to see someone come into an airplane in an exoskeleton and sit down and economy seat and you're going to see grandma at the mall and she's going to show of

mr. gonzalez on the lower floor says he uses. sorry? i'm sorry. mr. rodriguez. sorry. says he uses. and there was no rear door in that, and the rear door, in fact, that he showed in the drawing or rather in this photo is much shorter than this 6'8" height required by code today. it is not the 3 feet minimum requirement of width. so it could not have been approved by planning, nor could the 6 foot fence here ever be approved by planning. planning's policy is and has been for the 35 years that i have been involved that any fence above 6 feet must have significant, i think, 75%, openings in it, 75% openings in it. and the new fence does not. we are talking about neighborhood impact. the planning department's guidelines have always been that the most unfriendly thing you can do for your neighbor in the front yard is to create a 6 foot fence that has absolutely no openings in it. and that's exactly what has occurred. as you can see, the original building has the entrance facing carolina. the original building was a single family home. you can see from the permit shown to you by the appel
