Locals in Boston news
Today’s Globe, on the front page of the Northwest section, features stories on two prominent Lowellians: Acting Superintendent of Police Ken Lavallee, who is the leading candidate for the permanent police chief position, and former City Councilor George Ramirez, who stepped down from the council last week to work for the governor. In addition, 5th Congressional Candidate Patrick Murphy was profiled this morning on Boston’s National Public Radio affiliate, WBUR-90.9 FM. (WBUR may run the piece, Bricklayer Seeks House Seat, again later today or you can check here for the audio file and text.) The youngest candidate in this congressional race, Murphy has several factors that distinguish him from the crowd, such as running without pursuing or even accepting campaign donations, and if elected, he says he will not accept health insurance until all Americans have it. Check out his website for more about this unusual candidate and his positions.
