"A federal judge today cleared the way for Boston to hold a special election next week to fill the City Council seat left vacant when Chuck Turner was thrown out of office.
Chief US District Court Judge Mark L. Wolf said the residents of District 7 would be denied their right to be represented in the council if he accepted Turner’s claim he was wrongly removed by the council after his conviction for bribery and other federal corruption charges."
