NEEDHAM, MA - In this campaign season of Spring 2025, it might help to look back over the years to gain perspective.
In January 2020, Marvin Henry was detained by Needham Police for 40 minutes in handcuffs in a CVS parking lot. Needham was so so concerned about appearing racist that for the next almost two years , the Town performed somersaults in response to the situation. Needham nevertheless was sued.
Before all of the above, in May 2017, Laura Shifrina was found murdered in her apartment. The response of the Town was one of indifference. The Housing Authority made excuses. We have had years to think about it. And the question remains, what is the Needham Housing Authority (NHA) prepared to do to assure the safety and security of the current residents?
