Fifth candidate quietly throws hat in the ring for mayor

William Feegbeh of Brighton couldn't get enough signatures to get on the ballot, so he's running a write-in campaign - part of which apparently involves sneaking his signs into the windows of unsuspecting merchants - Michael Pahre reports.

Meanwhile, Sam Yoon is camping out AT the ring
The guy actually thought it would be a brilliant idea to toss about 50 volunteers, all with signs, some waving them around, others holding up HUGE signs, around the Jamaicaway/Centre Street rotary.
Also known as the crazy, insane, relatively-high-speed rotary where you HAVE to pay really close attention, as does everyone else. Usually things magically 'work', but today, I nearly got hit 3 times in the space of 10 seconds as people rubbernecked at the idiots waving signs.
BRILLIANT!
If this is a big safety problem...
...contact the campaign. If they don't immediately stop the unsafe behavior, contact the police.
(I haven't driven that rotary, so I'm taking your word for it.)
Not all that dangerous
If you read http://www.mhd.state.ma.us/downloads/trafficMgmt/0..., you'll see that this rotary doesn't appear anywhere in the 200 most dangerous intersections in the state. So I don't think it fits anon's characterization.

P.S.: I hate anonymous posts. Why can't people take responsibility for their own words?
Id say that rotary is dangerous (or could be)
Cars comming from Jamaica Pond never yield when they enter that rotary. I am suprised there arent more accidents there.
And Im not so trusting with the data from that state report on crashes either. If a trooper shows up and writes down the address of the crash as 1000 Jamaica Way, then it doesnt get recorded as a crash at an intersection. And I do know that many troopers will just write down the number of the house in front of the rotary. I could be wrong too, but I just dont trust crash stats at rotaries.
I agree!
I agree!
Stop Whining
Stop your whining and learn to drive. If Sam Yoon had 50 people at a standout in that weather yesterday - that is a story. He certainly seems to have a strong, grassroots organization.
Communications. Boston City Council public information.
Ask your favorite candidate... How would you improve our Boston City Council communications?... Council Rule 12 and Rule 34 at http://www.cityofboston.gov/citycouncil/councilrul... both need to be updated. For example for people with hearing loss closed captioning on webcasts of public meetings, availability of stenographic machine records and better training and supervision of 100 or so Council staff with respect to FOI Freedom of Information public records, sunshine open public meetings, open government transparency.

There's a clear answer
Whoever pledges to hire "the zak" as full-time community communications liaison will get my vote.
