Thank you very much for being a boston voter. Just so you know, in case youre , the secretary is not only an american, he is a true bostonian and a good neighbor. As secretary of state he took every opportunity to showcase our city with foreign dignitaries. Know him better than most. Not only in washington dc but in washington street. Not only in the middle east but in east boston. Thank you for that. We are growing hightech economy. Today we look back and see how visionary that was.
