Boston voters today are urged to bring canned goods and other non-perishables to polling places for a citywide food drive.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino's staff and local volunteers will be at polling places collecting the donations. The effort is part of Menino's Food & Fuel Campaign, which targets struggling families who may have to decide between heating their home and eating this winter.
A list of polling places can be found here.

With high voter turnout expected, Menino should have reassigned his staff to actually speed up the voting process and shorten the hour-long lines, rather than stand there and collect cans.
Menino has a RESPONSIBILITY to run the election process smoothly. Instead, he decided to promote his can collection. This is not good.
