Boston City Councilor Annissa Essaibi George is upset that a clown is on the ballot running for one of the city's four at-large council seats.

George, an at-large councilor herself who joined Boston Herald Radio's "Morning Meeting" show with Hillary Chabot and Jaclyn Cashman, said the clown, Pat Payaso, was making a mockery of the electoral process.

"There’s so much work to be done and the work has to be taken seriously," George said. "And in return, the campaigning has to be serious. And I am a little offended, personally, that Pat (Payaso) is in the race sort of making a mockery of the process because this process is so important. This is how city councilors get elected. This is how they get hired for a particular job."

Payaso will be on the Nov. 7 ballot with the four incumbents, including George, as well as three other challengers. The top four vote-getters will receive the at-large council seats.
