Unfortunately, we have a huge groundbreaking tomorrow that Commissioner Dennehy is lead on, so he won't be able to do any on camera interviews. On a larger note, we think it would be more productive if you give us the data for Commissioner Dennehy to investigate. For example, the four examples you sent over are easily explained (see below). While some of these can be tracked down on the computer, not all can. Often times, the Commissioner has to send someone out to confirm that the work has been done if the inspector fails to upload a photo. 1. Why did the city close the pothole complaint on Auburn St. (101001404022) saying it "patched sinkhole" on June 7 when the sinkhole remained unfilled? When was the sinkhole repaired? This case was directed to Boston Water and Sewer (the hole was around a casting). 2. Why did the city close the pothole complaint on Massachusetts Ave & Newbury Street (101001403957) June 8 when it had not repaired the potholes? This is at the entrance to the Mass Pike, so it was sent to the state to fix. 3. Why did the city close the case on Truman Pkwy (101001411939) June 18 when it had not repaired the pothole? What does "Case noted" mean? Truman Pkwy is also a state road. 4. Why did the city only repair one pothole on Commercial St. (101001417777) and leave many others in the same exact location? In an interview last month, Commissioner Dennehy said crews were expected to fill all potholes at a location--not just the one(s) reported in a complaint. In this case, the crew ran out of hot top to finish the entire job. They returned, and made sure that the job was complete when they had more hot top. We could set up a background conversation for you and Brooke to have with the Commissioner for him to explain each pothole case you've found, and then do an on camera interview about the process, what potholes the City is required to fix, what we do when other complaints come in (like on state roads), etc. Let me know what you think, https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=e67a6e30d6&view=pt&q=J…qs=true&search=query&msg=14e74f02cb8381cf&siml=14e74f02cb8381cf Page 1 of 3 Gmail - Fwd: Camera 7/16/15 1:50 PM Juli On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 3:38 PM, Donnelly, Ally (NBCUniversal, NECN) wrote: Hi,$Juli.$Any$update? $ Ally Donnelly Investigative Reporter Cell: 617.839.0685 @Allynecn adonnelly@necn.com ! $ From: Juli Hanscom [mailto:juli.hanscom@boston.gov] Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2015 11:02 AM To: Donnelly, Ally (NBCUniversal, NECN) Cc: Brooke Williams (brookewilliams.dc@gmail.com) Subject: Re: Camera Hi Ally, I'm in meetings until 1:30 pm and then I will call the Commissioner right after to get the best time for him in the AM.
