In the past 21 months, we have had six special elections in Somerville:
- Senator Charlie Shannon died, and we replaced him with Representative Pat Jehlen
- For the now-vacant Representative seat, we chose Alderman-at-large Denise Provost
- Denise decided that she didn't want to hold two offices, and resigned from the Board of Aldermen. We elected Jack Connolly to replace her
Each of these required a primary followed by a general election. And now we have two more to look forward to (though only in 2 of our 21 precincts this time). It is getting old.

I wonder how he'll deal with "gringos" now?
I think Mr. Barrios will find it a lot harder to get away with insulting what he calls "gringos" in the halls of corporate America.
Fight the power, indeed!
which means yet more special elections in Somerville
