Other critics are not so judicious. Alfred B. Fantini, who served on the committee for 16 years before losing a re-election bid in 1997, says the current committee is "inept."
On the Slate
Current members Turkel and Joseph G. Grassi have said that they will seek re-election.
At least two current members, E. Denise Simmons, the current committee vice-chair, and David P. Maher, have been looking at a possible run for City Council. And local politicos have also named School Committee member Susana M. Segat as a potential City Council candidate.
Robin A. Harris, elected to the Committee in 1997, has decided not to run.
Fantini, Michael Harshbarger--the son of the former state attorney general--and parent Nancy Walzer are three non-members who have expressed interest in running.
