Looks like somebody copy and pasted a bunch of this biography from another site. Could use some wikification, sifting and sorting. CapeCodEph 22:09, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

I think it could use a lot - seems like a menino political ad. where's the stuff about his corruption and power-brokering, for instance? would be nice to see someone dig on this clown a bit. Bobbyray 06:28, 02 September 2005 (UTC)

I agree nothing on his favortism in licsencing or his blocking of commercial developments by Frank Mccourt and others. Tannim`TannimTannim 23:34, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copy-vio status

Noting the copyright violation (and, on an unrelated note, having completely forgetten I'd marked this page for clean-up last month), I synthesized a new biography for Mumbles using a variety of sources. I removed the self-aggrandizing (and unformatted) mumbo-jumbo from the City of Boston biography, which should elminate the neutrality problem.

If you care to "dig up dirt" (to quote Mumbles himself) on this "clown," please follow NPOV standards in doing so. CapeCodEph 07:04, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

This is blatant liberal propaganda. I hope Wikipedia was paid to post this garbage.

[edit] Big Dig?

I notice that there is no mention of the blatant patronage and cronyism sweeping the big dig.

It might also be interesting to hear about thyat idea of his to put shoes on the statues.

Just in general to all the people who have complained that the article is too one-sided and neglects to cover some more controversial areas: Get off your ass and do it yourself. Don't complain and order us to do the work for you.Zzz345zzz 18:37, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

This guy "JWM65" Vandalizes this article on an almost daily basis. It is probably some loser kid with nothing better to do. I suggest locking the article.

[edit] Image

It seemed right to have an picture, but I have no prior image experience, so feel free to move it around, poke and prod- and by all means, if you find a better one, replace it. Stilgar135 03:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotation Section

The quotations section of this article is completely unsourced and very frequently vandalized. On top of all this, the quotations add very little to the otherwise informative nature of the article. Wikiquote is the location for listing quotes without specific article intent. CapeCodEph 02:36, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
