The Dorchester Reporter gets the scoop: Frank Baker will not run for re-election this fall for the mostly Dorchester District 3 city-council seat he's held since 2012.

Baker was noted as a tenacious fighter for the causes he believed in, even to the point of trying to spark a religious war.

Already running for the seat: Joel Richards, a BPS teacher from Fields Corner.
