Watch: Council candidates tackle Ward 4 issues on QATV
Traffic, development, Granite Links Golf Club, and diversity were among the topics discussed at a Jan. 11 forum for candidates vying to serve out the remainder of former Ward 4 councilor Brian Palmucci’s term.
Candidates Joel Buenaventura, James Devine, and Matthew Lyons attended the forum (another candidate, Sharon Cintolo, did not). Quincy Votes! co-founder Liz Speakman moderated the event, which featured questions by QATV’s Joe Catalano, North Quincy High School sophomore Amy Tan, Ward 4 resident and past president of Quincy Pride Sheika Babin, and Quincy residents, two of whom submitted their questions in video form.

Cintolo does not appear to have visited QATV for this election, but she ran unsuccessfully in November for state representative and taped a candidate message then.
