Biography
American politician, mayor of Boston. The first Italian-American Mayor of Boston, he was elected for the first time on November 2, 1993 and five times thereafter. With his fifth election on November 3, 2009 he became the longest-seated mayor in Boston history.
With his wife of many years, Menino lives in the same Boston neighborhood in which he was born and grew up. The couple has two children.
With his thick Boston accent and s speech impediment, Menino has proven to be a popular mayor sometimes called an "urban mechanic" for his record of fixing up certain areas. Nevertheless he is known for his unforgiveable and sometimes vengeful nature against those who foil him. In August 2004 it was revealed that he suffers from Crohn's Disease.
Five days after his 2009 election he fell at his son's home and ruptured a tendon in his left leg. He underwent surgery on November 9, 2009 and was sidelined for several weeks.
