Elections catch up with East Boston's changing demographics

You have you're occasional Italian American registered voters primarily living in the tony part of Orient Heights contributing to their favorite candidate throughout the years for favors, always thinking when election time comes around they have these elections in their pockets, sick of these people who think they own East Boston lol , those days are gone!! Where have all these die hard Eastie voters gone to?? well, places like Winthrop, Saugus and Lynnfield they all cashed out of Eastie during the beginning of the Real Estate boom, and they continue to cash out, they became greedy, even Eastie's past politicians have become lobbyist$ , it seems all the important people abandoned the old neighborhood, as a result of the circumstance the East Boston political machine has blown into pieces.

Aolisi’s commentary is spot on, as are the comments. The old guard in OH are entitled and believe that they run the neighborhood. I am very happy their candidate lost and Lydia won.
