Mayor Menino Spends $400K on Firefighters' Fight; "state of emergency" in Boston; and Juwan Howard Being Stalked by Boston Guy!

The taxpayer tab for the Boston firefighters contract dispute has reached $400,000 - and counting. Read my story in today's Boston Herald.

Also, the Rev. Bruce Wall wants Boston City Council to declare a "state of emergency" because of the latest violence to hit the city.

Finally, check out this great exclusive by my colleagues Katy Jordan and O'Ryan Johnson. Crazy - Trailblazers' Juwan Howard is (allegedly) being threatened and harassed by some angry dude from Dorchester. Only in Boston . . .
