Bill Coleman Senate Run & Charter Reform Pusher

On Monday, of this week, I read on Boston.com that Bill Coleman had decided to run for the Senate seat recently vacated by the late Ted Kennedy. I immediately shouted, "NO!" and shook my head similarly to Vice President Biden as he did when South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson yelled, "You lie", during President Obama's speech to Congress.

Yeah, 'ol Bill is at it again, and while he may have as much of a shot at winning as does Mayor Lukes has from removing the "I smell something foul" look from her face, Bill Coleman is jumping back in the fire.

People may try to knock Bill Coleman, and I don't know what his motivation is, but one thing you know is a constant with Bill is, he's never met an election that he feels he can't enter. Winning, is another matter.

Bill has also been pushing for a change from the Plan E form of government in Worcester to one where the Mayor has equal 'juice' as the City Manager does.

In June 2009, Bill spoke with Steve D'Agostino of 90.5 FM (WICN) about pushing for a change to the charter.

I'm sure Bill is the only one, besides a few retirees, who are pushing for a change to the Charter, as no one who is running for a City Council seat will touch this topic with a 10-foot pole.

Happy trails Bill.
