The Dorchester Reporter reports that one of longtime local PR guy George Regan's people sent one of its reporters e-mail announcing a party in Mashpee to both honor Ray Flynn on his birthday and to announce a "Save Our City" campaign aimed at taking back Boston from the lefties he thinks are ruining it. Only problem: Regan hadn't asked any of the politicians he listed (including two who aren't even running for re-election) first. Regan blames his secretary, but insists the city still needs saving.
