Menino The Allston-Brighton TAB is proud to endorse Tom Menino -for mayor and Felix Arroyo, Sam Yoon, Patricia White and ..l Matt O'Malley for the four At-Large seats on the City Council. I ' Sharp-eyed readers will remember we endorse Arroyo, Yoon, White and O'Malley in the primary for bringing a di versity of perspectives to the council, and we still feel that today. The four bring a commitment to making the city work for everyone and the ability to pull it off. ' We back Menino because he is responsible for a lot uf what's gone right in Boston today. The city is more di I ' verse, downtown is a pleasure to walk through and the l _streets are safety under Menino's watch than in recent 1 ,.memory. His opponent, Maura Hennigan, has served a useful role ,as the mayor's foil on the council - a role not too many ' people audition for given how the mayor runs everything - but you can't become mayor just by being the anti- -Menino. Not until the last week of the campaign did Hen- nigan offer her own ideas for the city. Menino has not, so far, shown any signs of third-time .boredom that marred Kevin White's term, which makes ' sense because this is most likely Menino's last political , job, and he knows. In the council race, we still wish their were four Felix ~j"\rroyos on the ballot.
