Council candidates on ethnic issues
By adamg on Sun, 10/16/2005 - 9:12am
The Globe gets the eight at-large city council candidates to discuss a complete mish-mash of issues: Bringing a library to Chinatown, ending discrimination against Haitian nurse assistants in nursing homes, expanding job opportunities for Vietnamese, developing strong black leadership, helping undocumented aliens get driver's licenses and access to college and keeping all Cape Verdean children out of special-ed classes.

"Is any excuse to spend tax-payer money good enough for you?"
What? Nothing for Russians or Brazilians? Just as a curveball, the Globe could have asked this question: "Boston lost almost 50,000 white residents during the 1990's. What are you going to do to make the city more attractive to whites?" Just to see how far the "concrete ethnic concerns" reach.
only when it's not for you.....
Would it still be "an excuse to spend taxpayer money" when it's for mostly-white suburban schools? Or when the money is spent on streetlamps and re-paving in the Back Bay?
got a "bloack" typo in

If elected, how will you improve literacy among Globe staffers?
"For council hopefuls, pointed questions on issues key to ethnics"
Uh, and what about those Boston voters who are NOT of an ethnicity...?

Word count limits?
Has anyone noticed that every candidate but one keeps his or her responses to about 50 words each? I'm sure there was a 50-word or so cap to each answer. If that's the case, then why did John Connolly get away with published answers that were over double and triple the limit?
