As Somerville residents, what do you all think of Rep. Capuano's recent trip to Brazil?
Shoot me an e-mail if you're interested in going on the record. I'm working on a talk of the town sort of piece for the City Weekly section of the Globe.

Brazil

[an-art-worker.livejournal.com]

On or off the record: I was disappointed to read of his Brazil trip and then read his explanation (in the Globe). I found his comment about having a lot of Brazilian constituents in his district a bit thin: how is that relevant or a justification for a $20k junket paid for by lobbyists? And how was he unaware of the costs?

Capuano has mostly been (or seemed) an above-board type of politician so this recent disclosure is pretty disappointing to me.
