Arlington Two-Step

April 11, 2008 By burlington-maul

They play hardball politics down there in Arlington.

Step 1.  Smear incumbent.  (Potentially specious complaint aggressively leaked from within the police department.)

Step 2.  Step into race.

I would like to inform you of my decision to run for the 4th Middlesex District Senate seat in the Democratic Primary on September 16, 2008. Over the past two months I have carefully considered this decision with family and  advisors and announced it to a small group of friends and supporters last Saturday evening after the conclusion of our town elections. Yesterday, I took out nomination papers to begin the process. I look forward to discussions on the important issues in the coming months that we face here in Arlington and in the 4th Middlesex District.

Thank you,

Selectman Jack Hurd

    in which we learn that he was, apparently, punished for offering an alternative to one of DiMasi’s proposals. In a house of sheep, earning DiMasi’s scorn is a badge of honor.

      Isaacson and other gay-marriage supporters say they were actually disappointed by DiMasi’s unwillingness to bully members into opposing a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage
