ENINO
, elected five times as mayor of Boston and five times as a city councilor, has spent a lifetime building a better city for residents and businesses. Menino was known as a mayor of the people and has been widely recognized for meeting more than half of Boston's residents.

* “The FBI has repeatedly asserted that even knowing what it now knows, it would not have revisited the Tsarnaev investigation. This case-closed mindset cannot keep pace with the evolving threat of terrorism here at home.” See “How Did Tsarnaev Go Off FBI Radar?” by Representative Michael McCaul, Republican of Texas, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, and Representative Bill Keating, Democrat of Massachusetts, a senior member of the committee,

* The tide flowed back in the November 2013 election pitting Martin J. Walsh against John R. Connolly.

* First the schools had to be wired for the Internet. Volunteers from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers laid seventy-one miles of cable to get the job done. They weren't the only volunteers. At an October 1997 event at the Curtis Guild School in Charlestown, Ted Kennedy, Bill Cosby, and I saluted the parents and teachers who donated ten thousand hours of personal time to bring computers to Boston's schools. A year later every school in the system was online.
