Tom Menino's Expedition

Carpundit to Herald: Shut up. You, too, Maura Hennigan. He says there's nothing wrong with buying a Ford Expedition if you travel with an entourage:

... Mayor Menino needs a large vehicle. He needs to travel with aides, with cops, with official guests, and with mayor stuff. I guess his car is usually full whenever it rolls out of City Hall. He'd need three Ford Escapes to carry the same load. Not efficient. ...

I don't think he does. At least not everywhere he goes. And if he's as popular as he seems to be, he should also be able to dispense with most or all of the "security detail".

I have seen Menino pop up completely alone or with just one aide, at events in Roslindale and West Roxbury (for that matter, I've seen him pick up trash outside the West Roxbury branch of the BPL). But for those times when he is traveling with a contingent or security detail (remember the firefighters spitting at him and his family?), sure, why not?
