17. MA: Heads may roll over ballot bungle


Heads may roll over ballot bungle
By Michele McPhee
Boston Herald Police Bureau Chief
Thursday, November 9, 2006 - Updated: 04:57 AM EST

Mayor Thomas M. Menino said city staffers face “reassignment” as the state seeks legal oversight of Boston’s Elections Department after a ballot shortage forced police to make rush deliveries to angry voters at the polls.

“I am very, very angry. This should not have happened,” Menino told the Herald. “Will people be reassigned? It’s possible. We certainly need a management plan for the Elections Department.”

Secretary of State William Galvin told city officials he plans to utilize his legal right to manage the city Elections Department.

Meanwhile the mayor has said he will hire a consultant to “shake up” the department and file quarterly progress reports to Galvin.
