Incumbent Brian J. McLaugh lin, who is Allston-Brighton's first and only district councilor, based his performance at Monday even ing's Candidate's Night on the accomplishments of his first two terms, while most of his opponents spent their time trying to show that his represen tation had been ineffective. McLaughlin used the power of his position as in cumbent and insider to assert that he could get the job done-citing the reopening of Station 14 and the repaving of Washington Street as two major accom plishments. The other candidates, though they presented a number of new proposals and attempt ed to focus on issues, did not differ greatly on sub stance.
