Let the Games Begin!

Oh yeah, it's time to get all political.

Emile Goguen officially announced yesterday the very unsurprising news that he's not running for state rep this fall. The only surprise is that someone wasn't angling for the throne even if he did run. If there was ever a display of the power of incumbancy, this was it.

Anyway, let the name-dropping, the will-he/she-or-won't-he/she, the "he/she's terrible" "he/she's great" and all the other names begin.

Obviously, the attention now turns to setting the lineup. Of particular interest to us: Is Dan Mylott in or out, and if he's in, will he promise not to hold two jobs at the same time? Quite honestly, we hope he's in just to have that question needed to be answered.

Anyway, good times ahead, full of questions about the future of Fitchburg and whether or not it gets the shaft from Beacon Hill.
