Not in My Front Yard

Here in Boston, Maura Hennigan is running for mayor. She is against the construction of a biosafety level four lab in the city of Boston:

Over 150 scientists, including two Nobel laureates from Harvard have openly opposed the Biolab by sending a letter to Tom Menino. These 150 scientists, physicians, public health specialist, and academics oppose the Biolab being built in a densely populated urban area; there are 50,000 people within one mile and more than one million people within 10 miles of the proposed site.

The election is Tuesday, November 8th.
