The South Boston state rep, who didn't seek re-election last fall, was indicted today on campaign-finance violations, along with his 2008 campaign treasurer, for allegedly failing to report $6,300 worth of donations that year.
The Dorchester Reporter's Lit Drop is reporting sources say Brian Wallace will not be running for re-election in the 4th Suffolk district (South Boston and a bit of Dorchester).
Maybe not by itself, but David Bernstein ponders if Wallace might have some issues this fall if you combine Browniemania with hostility toward Wallace over gay marriage and from elephant-memory Tom Menino over Wallace's decision to back Flaherty for mayor. If, that is, Wallace even runs, Bernstein adds.
Michael McGee, a South Boston lawyer and neighborhood activist, says he'll be taking on incumbent state Rep. Brian Wallace for the Democratic nomination next fall in the 4th Suffolk district, which covers South Boston, Uphams Corner and Harbor Point. In a press release, he says:
My local activism has taught me that much can be accomplished if you are willing to roll up your sleeves and go to work. That is what I have been doing for our neighborhood for years as a volunteer--organizing neighbors, pressuring elected officials, planting trees, raising money, mentoring kids--all to make our neighborhood better for all of us. As your State Representative, I'll work just as hard as the advocate for our community.
