Chris Ianella won't get to keep his Governor's Council seat without a fight

The Dorchester Reporter reports Mark Rooney of South Boston will take on the scion of the Ianella family for the right to represent a good chunk of the eastern side of mainland Boston on the council, which votes on judicial appointments and pardons.

The district includes the state-Senate districts of Nick Collins, Sonia Chang-Diaz, John Keenan, Patrick O’Connor, and Michael Brady.
