Ray Flynn and Mel King to Join Flaherty-Yoon Campaign as Senior Advisers

Mayor Menino may have been busy ribbon-cutting, but Michael Flaherty and Sam Yoon have been recruiting "senior advisers" for their joint campaign. Former mayor Ray Flynn (Mumbles' predecessor) and social activist Mel King (a vocal BRA opponent), who once ran against each other for mayor, will announce their support of the Flaherty-Yoon ticket tomorrow morning at City Hall. Flynn and King ("Fling"?) join a campaign that embraces "new solutions to our city's old problems," emphasizes education and city planning, and provides for "Boston residents of every race and gender" according to the announcement. It's an interesting move that aligns some longstanding Boston figures with the promise of change.
