TownOnline.com - West Roxbury & Roslindale Transcript - Our Election Picks:
In the District 6 race, we are very impressed with Gibran Rivera. He is an exciting newcomer to the political scene with many very good ideas and a lot of passion.
However, we also like incumbent John Tobin, who has been a very strong voice on the City Council in representing the people of District 6. Need proof? Just take a look at what is happening along Centre Street in West Roxbury. Tobin was instrumental in getting the funding needed to bring the center back to life - something which was stalled before he took office. Tobin has been an active member of the community. His realistic and intelligent approach to issues is a big asset. He has clearly earned another term as district counselor. To throw away his influence and common-sense approach now would be a big loss for West Roxbury.
