EDITORIAL C1 MON, TAB endorses PA~\, W 'RE four councilors ALMOSTTHe~! he Allston-Brighton TAB is proud to endorse Felix Arroyo, Sam Yoon, Patricia White and Matt 0'- T Malley for the four At-Large City Council seats in Tuesday's primary. The four bring a diversity of perspective that city government desperately needs. They will also bring a whole bunch of new ideas to City Hall. The U.S. Census reported waaaaaay back in 2000 that whites were a minority in Boston for the first time in almost 400 years. But five years later, municipal government is still run by a bunch of white men. This fall, 10 of the 14 city coun­ cilors were white guys, and those numbers may get worse with Maura Hennigan stepping down to run for mayor. We wish there were 14 Felix Arroyos on the city council. But until cloning technology gets perfected, we'll have to en­ dorse just one. Arroyo rewrote the rules of Boston politics by proving by energizing liberals and Hispanics, you could get someone elected to the City Council. And not just anyone, but Arroyo, who brings an uncanny ability to take care of mundane prob­ lems such as streetlights while remaining one of the most pro­ gressive members of the board. Sam Yoon's run has been one of the feel-good stories of the race, as the traditionally disinterested Asian-America commu­ nity has rallied around this candidate. Yoon has, by far, the v biggest warchest as Asian-Americans from across the United Gfl.AtJLUNt>@ M~Tfl..OW~'f OAIL.'( WS'WS www.davegranlund.com States back the Dorchester resident's run. \JA"E Yoon is a strong supporter of charter and schools and LETTERS rent control, which seem smart ways to deal with the two I biggest problems facing the Hub: lousy public schools and in­ ~.
