Seems like the only time you ever hear of this guy, the august state rep from Hyde Park (and my small sliver of Roslindale) is when he manages to grind the legislature to a halt over some issue that doesn't involve his district at all (anybody remember how he tied up the disposition of the old Boston State Hospital for years?).

ParkwayBoston.com reports the West Roxbury incumbent will face off against Pamela Julian of Brookline in the Democratic primary. A second potential candidate, Matthew Benedetti of West Roxbury, failed to file enough signatures, the site reports.

State Rep. Carl Sciortino of Medford says a whole bunch of his nomination petitions have disappeared and he wants the police to investigate (speaking of Wilkerson, this time around, she filed 10 times the required number of signatures to make sure she's on the ballot).

Death threats targeted DiMasi.

Sal DiMasi expresses his outrage at the calumnies of the Republican Party (Wait? We have one? Yes, seems we do) regarding his ethics, or alleged lack thereof, in a letter to fellow House members.

Jay Fitzgerald: I'm trying to figure out how Sal gets out of this mess.
