Today's Poll

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Eric Batista has led the City of Worcester in the past year?
Choices
Poll Description

On June 24, the Worcester City Council returned a largely positive appraisal of City Manager Eric Batista during his annual review. Councillors praised Batista for his fiscal management of the City and acknowledged his efforts to provide more shelter for unhoused individuals.

Still, members raised concerns over Batista’s handling of a U.S. Department of Justice report that found the Worcester Police Department used excessive force and his response to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement incident on Eureka Street on May 8. 

In Worcester's form of city government, the appointed city manager is essentially the CEO of the City of Worcester while the elected mayor and city council are part time and help set policy.
