Councilor John R. Connolly launched a bid for mayor of Boston outside Brighton High School Tuesday, leveling his most pointed criticism against the 20-year incumbent, Thomas M. Menino.
Introducing himself as a former teacher and a parent of a kindergartner, Connolly said he offered voters the “bold desire to change the status quo, particularly when it comes to schools.” He described Menino as a “good man” with an unquestionable love for Boston.

Good for John Connolly. He was gracious to the mayor in his announcement, but veteran incumbents need to challenged - and Mr. Connolly has picked a key issue in improving Boston's public schools as his main goal.
If John really wants to accomplish something, how about taking on these ridiculous police and fire salaries published in the Globe today? Utterly absurd.
