Morning all! Election day in Boston as we whittle the field of 12 Mayoral candidates down to 2. There are also several district races in Boston as well as the at-large race.

My guy is John Connolly. Just read an election day piece that had a very funny comment:

“We’ve done well on affordable and we’ve done well on luxury but we have no middle market housing plan in this city and that means we’re hemorrhaging all that talent that our institutions are producing because they can’t afford to find a place to live here,” said Connolly.

Connolly tied all of this back to education, saying that the school system is at the heart of all the problems the city faces. “If we want safer neighborhoods, we need better schools; if we want a stronger economy, we need better schools,” said Connolly.

Here is the first comment:

We would have better schools and safer neighborhoods if they did away will all the free loaders on welfare

I don’t even.
