Galluccio news

Does anyone else find it odd (or predictable) that the Somerville News has essentially no news on Senator Galluccio's recent scuffles with the law? Seeing as they will pounce on Senator Jehlen if she happens to, say, sneeze without covering her mouth, I just find it interesting that the only item on this subject is the verbatim posting of Galluccio's public apology. Is there some long-standing story here that I'm missing? Is Galluccio old friends with the Nortons? Discuss.

Galluccio does only represent a tiny corner of the city (Ward 1 Precinct 1 and Ward 2 Precinct 1), as opposed to Jehlen, who represents all of the rest. But I do think you're right that there is a political bias there as well. If Galluccio was a pol Norton didn't like, he'd be all over the story.

And I don't recall the News paying much attention to Jarrett Barrios either, when he had that seat before Galluccio.
