The Daily Free Press reports on the change of heart by at-large City Council candidate Ego Ezedi, who once told opponents the lab would be built whether they liked it or not, but who now says he opposes it because of safety concerns.

Third Decade, who always opposed the project, is annoyed:

... It's changes of position (and tepid acknowledgment of those changes) like this that make me skeptical of politics and politicians in general. OK, so now you're opposed to the biolab...kind of. What's next? What do you propose as a solution for the community which you would like to elect you to office? If elected, how do we know that you won't change position again? ...

Ego, cogito ergo city-council candidate

The Dorchester Reporter reports that Ego Ezedi, director of the Roxbury YMCA, is running for an at-large seat on the city council this fall. Ezedi ran a close race for the District 4 seat against Charles Yancey in 2003.
