Yoon and Flaherty have a joint press conference today announcing they will work together to unseat the Mayor. I'm happy that Yoon got Flaherty to agree to term limits. The race is shaping up as a real choice between old and new.
I just tried to call City Hall yesterday to find out how I could help with the foreclosed property issue. I got transferred to three people and then sent to a phone that just kept ringing and ringing (remember, No voice mail at City Hall). This is the incompetence that pervades the Menino regime.
It needs to change!
