    Who is this Sims guy? The first I heard of him was because his home had been vandalized. Then the Globe did a thing on how casually he dresses (ugh), and now this.

    Last time I checked Wikipedia, it said basically nothing about his policies.

    Props to the campaigners who kept the regulation on the books. And the councilors who figured their shit out.
