Councilor Chuck Turner has said for months that voters would look past his federal indictment and grant him another term, and last night the five-term Roxbury councilor got his vindication: a 20-point blowout over challenger Carlos “Tony’’ Henriquez.
“It’s significant that I was reelected, but the real significance is that our community did not fall for the hype,’’ Turner, standing on a chair, told a crowd of about 50 campaign supporters who gathered at his district office in Dudley Square and chanted “Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!’’
Yeah, that would be the hype of Turner caught on tape accepting a $1,000 bribe. It's going to be really interesting to see what happens when Roxbury has to pony up the money for a special election after Turner goes to jail... I'm certain that the accusations of racism will be fast and furious...
Only in MA... Or maybe DC.
That is all.

Or Illinois. Or California. Or Louisiana. Or New York. Or New Jersey. Or...
Jeez, that's depressing.
