    I’m happy that Mayor Warren gets to pursue his dream of higher office. And I respect the timing of his announcement that he won’t be seeking reelection. But I have oftentimes felt [for better or worse] that his career objectives have overly influenced his policies. So I’m concerned about how the next 12 months play out for the city and people of Newton. Hopefully, Setti finds the right balance between his job and the campaign.

    Does this mean poor Stephanie Pollack Sec of Transportation might be on the outs?
    Mike, time for your corner office run?

      I never know if I should respond to Harry Sanders’ bizarre tangents or ignore them.

    John Walsh is a great Democratic activist. Smart move by our Mayor, whatever his future plans are.

    Sounds like a pipe dream to me. Setti has no credible experience compared to Baker’s deep business expertise.
