Dan Gookin: Look for a move by the Legislature to turn municipal elections partisan. I have mixed feelings on this: Local issues shouldn't be partisan. Yet the extremes have such a stranglehold on the process, and some voters are so ill-informed, that it seems inevitable. I would prefer that people vote for the person, not the party. The electorate doesn't seem inclined to mount such effort.

Question: Would you like to see municipal elections turn into partisan races?
