Ross Levanto explains why he'll be filling in an oval for Tom Menino again this fall:
... I am supporting the Mayor because I really do not have much to complain about. I have attempted to contribute to my neighborhood over the past several years to clean the streets, provide my input on an agreement with a local university, and to debate the merits of additional liquor licenses. I played a minor role with my neighbors creating a new program to replace and prune trees, I assisted with the transition to new trash pick-up schedules, and I participated in neighborhood "welcome wagons" to greet new neighbors in September. Each and every step of the way, I felt as though Mayor Menino acted in concert with the interests of the city and supported my efforts. ...
Still, he lists challenges he thinks the mayor needs to deal with, including education, payments in lieu of taxes and getting Boston ready for the future.
