This prediction is further enhanced by the current issueless campaign, when large groups of citizens are not aroused to vote as they were two years ago. At that time a School Committee issue concerning 17 controversial appointments stirred the CCA virtually to demand that the education of the city's children not be subject to personal political feuds.
