Flynn comes thisclose to demanding Lara and Arroyo quit
By adamg on Thu, 07/06/2023 - 8:51am
City Council President Ed Flynn has some thoughts on Councilor Kendra Lara's car crash and Councilor Ricardo Arroyo's ethics fine last week:
These events, and others in the past, continue to draw negative attention to the institution of the Boston City Council, and distract our city from focusing on the people's business.
The people of Boston deserve the highest standards of strong and ethical leadership. Moreover, they want elected officials who show maturity, take responsibility as adults, and demonstrate the ability to follow the same basic rules and norms as the people they serve when placing us in positions of public trust.
The residents of Boston deserve leaders who respect their constituents and take their responsibilities seriously, especially during these challenging times.

I see what you did there
Putting the words "thisclose" together illustrates how close Flynn's decision came.
If it was a typo, use this as your plan.
For a change I did that on purpose
Since there's no ASCII symbol for thumb and forefinger just a millimeter apart.
Almost a week
And nothing from Lara. True leadership! Definitely deserves to be reelected.
Highest standards
Would be nice.
But we could start with moderate standards.
bring back Dapper !
bring back Dapper !
Where’d everybody go?
In that case you’re going to lose Murphy and Baker too.
Speaking of standards...
Can you imagine the local hellscape that would be had Essaibi George won?
I mean... he's right.
I mean... he's right.
Who (with any pull) is going to endorse either of them for re-election?
If JP Progressives endorses Lara again, while claiming to be concerned with road safety, how ridiculous would that make them look?
especially during these
Politicians love to remind people that they live in challenging times. When was not a challenging time?
I think it's funny Flynn is
I think it's funny Flynn is so inept, he sued the city over his own failures. Oh wait, he just funded the lawsuit.
He should have quit or resigned that day. He couldn't figure out redistricting. He couldn't pass a budget. Maybe the He needs to start looking at his own place on the council...
