The mayor of Cambridge: The BBJ’s
George Donnelly ties together all of Mayor Menino’s latest pronouncements (the proposed smoking ban, the proposed return to rent control etc.) and concludes he’s become ‘our Cambridge-esque mayor.’ The kicker line: “All are clear symptoms of a politician who has accumulated power for so long that he has tuned out voices of reason and has become a tool for activists. In bad times, he is picking on small and big business alike. The message is: Business should pay more for the privilege of being in Boston.” ... I can already hear the chant wafting from City Hall: “Four more years!” Ugh.
