Forum to check out Bill Linehan's possible replacement

Candidates for the District 2 (South Boston, South End, Chinatown, Downtown, Bay Village) seat now held by Bill Linehan get a chance to explain why they should succeed him at a forum Wednesday evening.

The forum, sponsored by the Boston Ward 4 Democratic Committee, Ellis South End Neighborhood Association, South End Forum and the South End News, starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts, 527 Tremont Street). Sue O’Connell, co-publisher of the South End News and Bay Windows and host of NECN’s The Take with Sue O'Connell, will moderate.
