"Pro-Family(?)" Revere City Councilor Mark Casella (Turncoat Dem) accused of going on a drunken ride

[Ian David]

REVERE, Mass. -- A city councilor from Revere is facing charges of driving under the influence after allegedly causing a crash near his house.

Mark Casella slammed into his neighbor's parked car outside his Geneva Street home.

He suffered a gash on his forehead and had to be in the hospital overnight.

A neighbor who saw the scene unfold was the one to blow the whistle.

Interestingly, a woman named Sabrina Cassela, who shares his address is one of those "pro-family" anti-gay bigots!

Wow!

Mark A. Cassella: http://www.zabasearch.com/query1_zaba.php?sname=Mark%20Casella&state=MA&ref=$ref&se=$se&doby=&city=&name_style=1
Sabrina Cassella: http://www.knowthyneighbor.org/thelist.php?searchValue=Casella&searchField=last_name&sortBy=last_name&sortDir=ASC&page=1&anchor=list#list

So glad Mark and his wife or daughter are "pro-family!"


This traitorous dickhead crossed party lines to support Kerry Healey. See:

GOP icons lament party's drift, head for other side
By Steven Rosenberg, Globe Staff | November 2, 2006

But, like Patrick, Healey has attracted politicians outside of her party to her campaign, establishing a pocket of Democratic support north of Boston. Elected Democrats who have endorsed her include Gloucester Mayor John Bell, Beverly City Councilor John Burke, Salem City Councilors Joan Lovely and Jean Pelletier, and Revere City Councilors Mark Casella and John Correggio.

He also crossed party lines to support a Republicker sheriff (although perhaps with less enthusiasm). See:


SAME SHERIFF IN TOWN
Cabral defeats Murphy in Democratic primary
BY ADAM REILLY

<snip>

Over at the Boston Teachers Union, in Dorchester, where Murphy’s supporters had congregated, the atmosphere verged on funereal. Murphy had conceded defeat around nine o’clock; this hadn’t yet been announced, but the crowd seemed to sense it. People sat quietly at tables festooned with red, white, and blue balloons, staring into space over emptied bottles of Bud and Michelob or conversing in hushed tones. But two Revere city councilors — John Correggio and Mark Casella — refused to give up hope. "We haven’t heard anything like that," Correggio said when I mentioned Murphy’s concession. When I made passing mention of the novelty-check issue — earlier this week, a Boston Globe story suggested that Murphy was taking inappropriate credit for the disbursal of federal Homeland Security funds by presenting great big checks around Suffolk County in the run-up to the election — Casella bristled. "Why was someone saying it was a novelty check?" he asked testily. "I thought it was legitimate. I take Steve Murphy at his word."

Murphy finally showed up a few minutes after 9:30. As he walked into the room to the strains of Steely Dan, the crowd rose to its feet and started applauding. He got a big hug from Casella. Then he got another from the Reverend Eugene Rivers, who’d made headlines by crossing racial lines and endorsing Murphy. The candidate finally made his way to the podium. "First of all, let’s all of us, all of us here, congratulate Sheriff Andrea Cabral on a wonderful victory," he said. There was widespread applause, though Casella refused to join in. Murphy mentioned that he’d just called Cabral to congratulate her. "She deserves tremendous credit for her campaign," he said. Silence. Then the councilor, who’s also lost campaigns for state representative and state treasurer, made a sort of plea for unity, promising to support Cabral in her new term and urging his supporters to do the same. (Because there is no Republican candidate for sheriff, last night’s Democratic primary was the de facto general election.)

will be replaced by whomever the voters of Ward 6 elect. The Corrupt Midget does not own that seat and anyone has a right to unseat him in just the same way that Congress changes seats from Republican to Democrat. This is the democratic process and someone is going to win and someone will lose. There is going to be a change in Ward 6 and you and others including Markie should get used to it. AND why not send Mark Casella back to East Boston where he originated from and where he spends much of his time in Gin Mills there doing all sorts of braggodicia that really raise an eyebrow when he has imbibed much to much of the liquid stuff. Get it?
