FRAMINGHAM — Carlos Valadares was disappointed he wasn't in a position to run to become the city's first mayor in 2017. "I realized in my life (that) if I cannot help people, I get literally, I'm not saying depressed — but I get down," Valadares said. "But when I'm helping people, there's not a bad day in my life." "I want to find the best person in each position that's very important to the city to work with me." "Unfortunately, here, in my view, Framingham south side is completely neglected, not just now, but even before Framingham became a city," he said.
