The second to last line was really the key to what they are looking for...
"Does anyone know of any reform or political groups that some of my friends and I could get involved in?"
My answer would be to check out the Green Rainbow Party of Somerville, the Progressive Democrats of Somerville, and maybe the Davis Square Task Force for a start. The problem is not just the current mayor, it's the apathy of the voters and the lack of honest, coopertive-minded, people who are willing to run for mayor. If someone progressive had run against Curtatone last fall, maybe there would be a new mayor. But no one ran, so we're stuck with what we've got.
