This year (2009) is an odd-numbered year and that means it’s a municipal election year. Normally we’d be hearing rumors by now about who might be seeking a City Council or School Committee seat in November, but Cambridge has been quiet. [Feb 5]
So….., as Tip O’Neill used to ask, “Whattaya hear?” Let me know. Let’s get those rumors flying. – RW
The Rumor Mill:
The word is that Kevin Moore (who ran for City Council in 2007) will throw his hat in the ring for School Committee in 2009. We’re still waiting to hear about Richard Harding and Gail Lemily Wiggins. [as reported by Deep Throat]
The word from our CCJ correspondent in South America is that Jeff Ross (one of the four candidates who ran for Jarrett Barrios’ vacant Senate seat in 2007) may be interested in a Cambridge City Council seat. [Feb 16]
Luc Schuster wrote a letter (Feb 20) in the Cambridge Chronicle stating that he will not seek reelection to the School Committee later this year.
