Rumble in the City Council

East Boston's Councillor Paul Scapicchio is backing Sheriff Cabral for re-election, re-appointment (I'm not even sure what.) Apparently, this Cabral issue is a hot, controversial issue for the city council. I honestly don't know much about Cabral, but I wrote the Councillor an email a couple of weeks ago to let him know that people who have to take the bus every day truly appreciate bus shelters and I wanted to give thanks for the new ones that have gone up recently in Eastie. I received a very thoughtful reply about a half an hour after I sent him my email. I thought that was pretty impressive. Also, anyone who is going to do more than complaine about the dirty streets and actually get his butt out there and do some actual street cleaning deserves some props.
