Looks like Boston will be looking for a new fire chief soon

Michele McPhee couldn't stay away from the written word, it seems. She's signed on with Boston Magazine's Boston Daily and her first post today is a fun one, unless your name is Tom Menino:

Kevin MacCurtain, the department's highest ranking uniformed officer, will boycott the mayor's state-of-the-city address tonight, in solidarity with the firefighters who will be picketing the speech to protest their lack of a contract (no word if they plan to spit at members of Menino's family again). MacCurtain reports (for now, at any rate) to Commissioner Rod Fraser.

The mayor doesn't take kindly to managers who disagree with him; just ask Bernie Margolis.
