Menino for mayor, Ciommo for district councilor and Arroyo, Connolly, Murphy and Pressley for at-large councilors, according to somebody who has a copy of the sample ballot distributed last night on the Brighton road.

Notes from an at-large candidate forum sponsored by the Brighton Allston Improvement Association. Note: Murphy and Arroyo left early; Gonzalez arrived late.

Opening

Felix Arroyo, Jr. Lifelong Bostonian, went to school here. Four years as city councilor's aide in constituent services, which is really just a long way of saying you help people. SEIU 615 labor organizer, increased pay, benefits for janitors, through organizing. Health-care organizer. My time coaching youth sports one of the things I'm most proud of, young men between 13 and 18.

Kinda clever and more then just a little funny.

The Boston Police Department today announced a new flying squad that will use computerized data from a variety of sources to identify trouble spots in the city and then clean them up. As BPD informs us, the effort was actually announced by Mayor Thomas M. Menino:

Scheduled to appear at City Hall Plaza Wednesday at 10:45 a.m. to announce their support for Michael Flaherty.

Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports Alex Selvig, running against incumbent AB Councilor Mark Ciommo, has endorsed Floon. Ciommo got 60% of the vote in September in a four-way field.

The Lit Drop lets us know there's a MassVote forum for all eight at-large city council candidates tonight at UMass-Boston. If you miss that, or if you just can't get enough at-large action, the Brighton Allston Improvement Association holds an at-large forum on Thursday in Brighton Center.

The city quietly posted a new batch of e-mail messages to Michael Kineavy Friday evening. Among the messages, a February, 2009 plea from Bryan Glasscock, director of the city environment department, for help in convincing Mayor Tom Menino to reconsider his decision to yank out all of City Hall's voice-mail systems:

Last week the potential deputy mayor told the Jamaica Plain Gazette that Kevin McCrea didn't get any more votes than Donald Duck would have. Oh, and Floon joked about the number of public-records and open-meeting complaints filed by McCrea - including, you know, the lawsuit against the City Council, Michael Flaherty, president, that McCrea won:

"We'll create a position called the Division of Kevin McCrea Information Requests," Yoon joked. Flaherty quickly added that a better name would be "McFOIA."

Guess what? McCrea tells the paper this week that Yoon called to apologize after the remarks showed up on the paper's Web site.

Looks like somebody in Boston really enjoyed Wacky Packs as a kid:

Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports that at-large Council candidate Tomas Gonzalez has an idea for City Hall Plaza: A community vegetable garden, at least until the city finally figures out what to do with the barren stretch of brick:
