Unfortunately I was so busy during the second half of October that I feel like Rip Van Winkle regarding some of the latest news. But I'll do what I can to get back in the game, especially with the election coming up on Tuesday. Personally, I would be excited to see a change in the mayor's office, but I don't expect that to happen. I don't know what's motivating the majority of the city to keep our current mayor, but maybe I'll see for myself after the election. Yoon has been everywhere I've been lately and it seems like Flaherty has been everywhere else. I thought I'd see Menino once or twice during the past month, but I guess he's been laying low.
In the meantime, can we just lock the doors on the B.U. Biolab and throw the keys into the harbor already? How many times will we read articles about accidents happening at their current labs before we realize that having a new one with the world's deadliest diseases in the middle of the city is a bad idea?
I am excited about the # of people of color and younger people in the city council race. I am also glad that Flaherty/Yoon have given the Mayor a good run for his money.
As for the biolab - you are absolutely right. The idea of it being in the middle of the city is just wrong. With BU's mishaps, perhaps it shouldn't be any where!
