    p>In Dover, the sign reads: Mary (I’m running with Chuck BAKER) Connaughton  

    • it reads Mary Z. I just saw one and had to go closer to read her little last name and make sure it was about her. The same house has a big Hudak.

  3. I get the idea of emphasizing her Eye-talian roots, but look what she does in the mean time:

    <

    p> * she minimizes her last name, an important detail for anyone who wants to remember her and vote for her
    * she minimizes her CPA, which is relevant to some percentage of voters who think the CEO of Toyota must know how to change the tire on every auto
    * she minimizes AUDITOR, which when combined with bullet point uno makes it hard for folks to actually vote for her

  5. Mary has family ties to the North End – her father was a former business man and a candidate for Boston City Council and if my memory serves me correctly State Rep. – he also pushed the Boston Bypass plan during the early planning stages the Big Dig (anyone remmber seeing the yellow signs that read BACK THE B.B. that were splattered around downtown Boston during that time? Many people remember her father and thus she is making that connection to many old time North Enders.

    <

    p>Although I do suppport the Democratic Ticket – I must say that during her tenure on the Turnpike Board, Mary was a true advocate for the neighborhoods affected by the Big Dig – she was a frequent attendee at neighbohood meetings and not just those meetings in which there was a “problem” she actually attended the mundane weekly planning meetings. For that I believe many people from the North End to Chinatown will remember her.
