Allston/Brighton City Councilor Jerry McDermott, whom you might recall wanted to tear down the Citgo sign, won't run for re-election this fall, the Herald reports.

Possible contenders

Michael Pahre lists people who might run for the seat.

Glad to see the back of him

I'm sure that McDermott is a lovely man if you know him personally. And I hope that he has decent constituent services. But in terms of the public side of his job, I don't see how, in his time on the Council, he's helped anyone but real estate developers (and the handful who liked his pathetic anti-Chavez rant).
