Walsh s departure date remains unclear
Pressure is mounting on the Boston City Council to set aside a special election that would be triggered by the city charter if Mayor Walsh vacates his seat before March 5, a scenario that appears likely as Biden cabinet nominations are moving through US Senate confirmation hearings at a quick pace.
On Tuesday, a Home Rule Petition that would override the requirement for a special election was largely embraced by councillors and citizens who logged on to testify during a virtual hearing of the council’s Committee on Government Operations. The panel’s chair, District 1 Councillor Lydia Edwards, confirmed that there will be a vote on the petition during next week’s (Feb. 3) regular meeting, following a working session scheduled for this Friday at 2 p.m.
