Wagman BOSTON (NEA) - For most Boston voters, the mayoral election bad the best possible results: Ray Flynn, the popular city council member, was elect­ ed by an overwhelming majority. At the same time, Boston can be proud that the contest between Flynn and former black activist Mel King never took a racial turn. Bostonians see these results as proof of how far the city has come in the past 10 years. A decade ago, Bos­ ton was torn by racial strife, as its school integration bat­ tle led to violence and national headlines. But Bos­ tonians say that those days are behind them and the city has pulled together. Several experts here weren't so sure that the campaign wouldn't become racial in tone. Both King and Flynn are regarded as good men; they've known each other since childhood and seem genuinely fond of each other. Both said that above all else, they would ensure that race didn't become a factor in the campaign. However, many King and Flynn supporters didn't share as high a regard for one another. The experts said the campaign would stay clean if Flynn remained ahead and King seemed unlikely to win. But if it got close near the end, they said, the campaign might become very dirty -- despite what the candidates themselves wanted. What happened was that Boston's mayoral campaign was something to be proud of -- but the new mayor could : mean trouble for politicians and big business. Flynn took a clear lead from the first post-primary poll and never looked back. And three weeks before the election, when King should have been making his big move, he instead made a statement that was among the worst of political gaffes. King was discussing an anti-abortion letter that the late Cardinal Humberto Medeiros sent out during the 1980 congressional primar­ ies. The letter, said King, "reflected anti-Semitism," since the only pro-abortion candidate then running for the House was Rep. Barney Frank, who is Jewish. In very Catholic Boston, a candidate does himself little good by suggesting that a beloved and recently deceased prelate is a bigot. And so, practically speak­ ing, the election was all over after King's "Medeiros sta terpen t." While Boston voters seem pleased with Flynn's victory and are still congratulating themselves for the campaign's high tone, the political and business estab­ lishment is apprehensive about having Ray Flynn as mayor. Flynn is a lifelong resi­ dent of South Boston, the Irish Catholic working class neighborhood that's better known as "Southie." More than that, he's almost an 'embodiment of Southie's values: He lives in a modest but sparkling home, sup­ ports his wife and six chil­ dren on his $32,000 City Council salary and drives an 8-year-old station wagon. Although he has been active $ in politics all of his adult life, he is in no way a mem­ ber of Boston's Democratic Critical establishment. He ughs when remarking that Tip O'Neill didn't even know who he was until after the primary. Most important, Flynn is a populist in the traditional Jeffersonian sense: He believes deeply in the wis­ dom of the people and believes that decision-mak­ ing should flow upward from them. In both the pri­ mary and the general elec­ tion, he campaigned on a platform of returning power to the neighborhoods and opposing special interests -- which flies in the face of Boston's political' reality over the past two decades. During the 16 years in which the now-retiring Kev­ in White was mayor, the city's power shifted from the neighborhoods to "downtown." The period saw unprecedented growth, and today's movers and shakers are the developers who have poured billions into rebuilding the city's central area. So, the change in adminis­ trations makes the estab­ lishment more than a bit nervous. Some fear that Ray Flynn will be much like Cleveland's Dennis Kucin- ich, whose populist, anti- establishment term as may­ or was viewed as a disaster for that city. However, other observers believe that Flynn will come to terms with the establish­ ment and will run the city much as White has -- as a place very friendly to com­ mercial development. One sign of this, they say, is Flynn's campaign opposi­ tion to a proposed business tax. But if Flynn does remain true to his campaign pledge of returning power and deci­ sion-making to the people and the neighborhoods, Bos­ ton might be in for an inter­ esting four years under the leadership of Southie's first mayor.
