These guys (and gals) deserve a raise

"Scappicchio hopes for a 'robust race.' "

Is that code for "Please, someone besides Ben Joplin enter the race!"?

Amazing they met at all during a week with a holiday in it.

Is Scappick leaving because of his love child? Real estate deal scandal? Too much competition from "blanks"?

Deidre-Did you get any cookies?

It’s amazing to hear the councilors rhetoric on the campaign trail and then see them in action.

Tony-Love child? Please elaborate.

Who do you think will be the next Young Turk to step down? My money is on Ross. He's a nice guy and tries to do the right thing, but I don't see much opportunity/potential for moving up. His district doesn't generate enough votes to run city-wide and I can't picture him campaigning against Wilkerson in the communities of color.

Paul has a love child with his ex-girlfriend. He knocked her up a few years back, I believe 1995 or something. She still lives in the apartment he later allegedly abandoned in the North End to move back in with his parents. His number is listed; she answers. The Boston Herald did some stuff about it a couple of years ago.

Yeah. The funny thing about Ross is that he was being pitched as an up-and-comer and he is essentially at a dead end. David Scondras proved that; Tom Keane proved that. Although, Mike has been able to put himself through law school with the cash he has made as a councilor [he used to be Menino's driver]. He has also had his picture taken a lot and been able to flirt with a bunch of hot chicks at bars downtown. So, it hasn't been a bad life if he never amounts to anything other than this.
