Q&A #4: Arroyo/Pressley

"Anonymous" asks:

What's up with the new city councilors?  What have they been up to since the election?

I saw both Felix Arroyo and Ayanna Pressley at the Coakley election-night party. (Neither endorsed her, but both stopped by.) I didn't get a chance to speak with Arroyo, but I did chat with Pressley. She's working on putting her staff together, and talking with council President Mike Ross about what role she might take, in terms of committees. I imagine Arroyo has been doing much the same thing.

I'm sure they both also took a little R&R break, and spent a lot of time writing thank-you notes and making thank-you calls.
