FOR SOME inexplicable reason the Globe seems determined to have Mayor Menino retire at the end of his current term. The Dec. 29 column by Lawrence Harmon is only the latest in a series of articles raising doubts about the mayor’s health and his ability to continue in office (“A new job for Menino: helping kids,” Op-ed).
I don’t recall the Globe suggesting Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Representative Barney Frank, or any other long-serving government official step down, but apparently Menino is fair game.

#1. Because he is old and sick. #2. It is time Boston moved forward with 'new' healthy leadership.
In short, many people have experienced Menino's caustic personality and his curmudgeon behaviors, behind closed doors.
Boston cannot wait for a 70 years old man who has abused his body to find the 'fountain of youth.'
It is time for a new era of going forward: We are sick of the hole in the center of Boston!
