Boston officials last night were looking into the possibility that the city may be to blame for the electrocution of a dog that was walking with its owner at a Charlestown street corner.
James W. Hunt, the city's chief of environment and energy and a member of Mayor Thomas M. Menino's Cabinet, said the stray voltage that killed the dog may have come from a street light, ''which is owned by the city of Boston. We're going to do a full investigation. This is a most unfortunate incident, and our hearts go out to the dog owners."
This kind of thing happens in New York every once in a while. Another great example of how the infrastructure in these old cities needs new management... bureaucracies tend to become corrupt and inefficient over time.
