The State House News Service reports Dan Hill of Charlestown will run in the Democratic primary against the hit-and-run state senator.

Hill, 36, is a lawyer who lives and practices in Charlestown. On his law-firm Web site, Hill says he specializes in alternative energy, environmental law, housing and development and municipal law.

Just before dawn on Oct. 4, the Cambridge Police gave State Senator Anthony Galluccio a lift home. According to the report, not only was he apparently too soused to drive, he was too drunk to tell the friend who had taken his keys and was giving him a lift that he had moved - the friend drove back and forth on Sunset Road, looking for his house, although Galluccio now lives on Trowbridge. The police drove out to Sunset as well, before Gooch sobered up sufficiently to direct them to his current residence.

The Herald posts a story unlikely to help convince people that Sen. Galluccio hit and ran merely because he had flashbacks to earlier arrests.

To make sure the state senator doesn't just walk out of court again, after his latest crash. Next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday outside the State House. Details (one of the kids in the mini-van he hit has yet to regain the use of his arm). Schedule yourself for the vigil.

The Globe talks to the guy whose vehicle was rear-ended by the twice-convicted-but-still-innocent-this-time state senator. The Herald talks to a family member who says the man's son has had to drop out of youth sports because of injuries in the hit and run.

File under Bad Timing? Wicked Local Cambridge reports the Cambridge state senator is hosting a reception on Wednesday: "Complimentary hors' doeuvres, wine, and beer" with a donation of $125 to $500.

The last time Galluccio was in the news.

Especially given, you know, his driving record and all, and the fact, that, oh, he's a lawyer and stuff. Wicked Local posts state Sen. Anthony Galluccio's apology. We good now?

Channel 7 reports state Sen. Anthony Galluccio is charged with rear ending a car in Cambridge on Sunday and then just driving away. He turned himself into police Monday morning, the station reports.

In 2005, Galluccio was charged with causing a four-car accident in Boston. A clerk magistrate determined that there was insufficient evidence to charge him with drunken driving, even though he acknowledged having some alcohol that night.

The Tab has the results from today's special election for Jarrett Barrios's old senate seat.
