What’s the best way for the state to help with the cost of living?

Keep expanding targeted help, like the child tax credit, free community college and free bus service.

Legislators often secure state money for specific local groups and projects. Which is closer to your view?

It’s valuable. It pays for things like firefighter equipment, substance-use outreach and domestic violence programs.

Audit the nonprofits that receive state money, and pull funding that isn’t reaching the people it’s meant for.

The state is taking developer proposals for the Route 79 and Davol Street waterfront in Fall River. Which is closer to your view?

Let the state’s developer process move forward, with the city handling zoning. It’s a big opportunity for the whole city.

Scale it back. 1,400 to 1,500 apartments is too many for the area’s water, sewer and traffic. Focus on commercial and mixed use.
