Corruption is an insidious disease that seeps its way into politics and politicians when least expected.... The impact is not just to them... but to the people who they are elected to serve...
Its not always as clear cut as it seems on the outside. If you are living in the city you get to see all of the dimensions and its often necessary to just keep going with the devil we have.
There are few instances where this has had a more profound impact than in the City of Somerville...
The Bretta and McKenna era begins
Ralphs Election
The Piro era begins
Ralph gets ready to move and the scramble to fill the void
Pinballs
Tom August elected ...
Tom August and Larry Bretta defeated
The redline

The 1980 elections

Steady as she goes- Capuano keeps it boring
