Opposition to Dolan Grows as Council Prez Faces Challenge
In Boston politics Dolan, president of the Common Council, faces emerging opposition in seeking re election as presiding officer. Charlestown backs Councilman McDonald Ward 3, South Boston may rally Walsh Ward 15, Roxbury support from Kenney Ward 19 and Barrett Ward 18, while Lomasney Ward 6 and East Boston Democrats resist.

Republicans split, some wavering toward Democrats, amid a tense power balance ahead of elections.
