Amazon will invest in renovations to the building at 135 American Legion Hwy. and house its Greater Boston delivery station under a lease arrangement with property owners Atlantic Management and VMD Companies. “This is a leap into Revere’s future as a strong, modernized and prosperous city,” Mayor Arrigo said. “Amazon’s investment in our community will invigorate the local economy and promote Revere as a place where prominent, innovation-driven businesses are welcome and can thrive.” After Atlantic and VMD acquired the 50-acre property in April 2017, Mayor Arrigo collaborated with the new owners and championed zoning legislation that restricted the property’s use to advanced commercial activiRevere Celebrates its Heritage at Annual Columbus Day Parade ty, including technology warehousing and e-commerce.

The availability and quality of Revere’s workforce, along with its proximity to public transportation and Logan airport, helped attract Amazon to Revere. “The Mayor’s Office, his Economic Development staff and the City Council, particularly Ward Councilor John Powers, who was adamant about keeping the Necco site as commercial property, were essential in working with Amazon and bringing assurances that Revere would be a long-term home for the company and its employees,” said Atlantic Management CEO Joseph Zink. “Mayor Arrigo was hyper-focused on increasing employment with smart economic growth policies.

(Advocate photo by Katy Rogers) DEP hearing on emission control plan Saugus and Revere residents express concerns about Wheelabrator being allowed to use emission credits to meet proposed pollution standards By Mark E. Vogler S augus Board of Health Member Shawn Ayube scolded representatives of the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) when he got his chance to comment on an emission control plan (ECP) for the Wheelabrator Saugus incinerator. “It’s absurd and it’s gross negligence,” Ayube said of a provision within the draft copy of Wheelabrator’s plan that enables the company to buy Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) in order to meet more stringent standards for Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. Ayube was one of 40 residents – mostly from Saugus and Revere – who testified Tuesday night during a three-hour hearing in the Saugus High School auditorium on DEP’s draft approval of Wheelabrator’s pending application to update its ECP. All of them opposed the plan. Under the proposed DEP draft, 100 Gal. Min. 24 Hr.

According to police, the arrests were made on October 15 at Northgate Plaza. Gaki Antonio Rodriguez, 44, of Woodland Park, N.J., was charged with trafficking in fentanyl and conspiracy to violate drug laws; Sandy Suazo, 42, of New Britain, Conn., was charged with possession of a Class B narcotic with intent to distribute and conspiracy to violate drug laws. David Diaz Rodriguez, 46, of Fountain Hill, Pa., and Francisco F. Alvarez, 39, of New Britain, Conn., were both charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws. While conducting their investigation, undercover police officers arranged to purchase the fentanyl for $240,000. Allegedly, after arriving at Northgate, it was confirmed that the suspects were carrying fentanyl, and they were subsequently put under arrest. The suspects were arraigned in Chelsea District Court and will be prosecuted by Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins’s office. dine drink Jacob and Samantha Gordon waves an American flag along Broadway as the parade strolls by.

The only way Wheelabrator can meet this new limit on paper is by buying ERCs instead of actually reducing the levels of NOx emissions from the incinerator. “An ERC is a ‘credit’ created by another facility that is emitting NOx at levels below its emission limit,” according to a recent press release issued by the Alliance for Health and Environment. “If Wheelabrator purchases enough of these credits, DEP would treat Wheelabrator as if it were only emitting 150 ppm of NOx, even if the Saugus incinerator is actually emitting NOx at much higher levels,” the Alliance noted. Wheelabrator’s response Jim Connolly, Wheelabrator Vice President of Environmental, Health and Safety, was the 41st and last to testify during the DEP hearing, which was attended by about 150 people. He was the lone supporter of the plan. “Waste-to-energy is an environmentally beneficial means of managing our solid waste. It is recognized around the world as an effective way to reduce greenhouse gases by offsetting the use of fossil fuels, divert trash from landfills and recycle metals,” Connolly said. “Wheelabrator Saugus will continue to meet and outperform stringent state and federal air quality standards, as we have always done. We appreciate having the opportunity to address any erroneous information about our business,” he said. Ricky Serino, a Revere resident and legislative assistant to Rep. Vincent, made a return to the podium following Connolly’s comments to emphasize for the DEP that “not a single person spoke in support of the draft emissions control plan.” Eminating from The Clubhouse in Chelsea...

RoseLee Vincent was the first of 40 speakers who testified unanimously against Wheelabrator’s emission control plan at a public hearing in Saugus High School on Tuesday night. (Saugus Advocate Photo by Mark E. Vogler) Edward J. Braczyk, the permit chief of the DEP’s Northeast Regional Office and the hearing officer who presided over the four-member panel during Tuesday night’s hearing, said the DEP would consider the verbal as well as written testimony before making a decision on the DEP document. Braczyk occasionally told speakers to shorten or sum up their testimony. But for the most part, he allowed speakers to vent on past complaints about the trash-to-energy plant and how they believe it adversely affected their quality of life and health. Several of the speakers mentioned high cancer rates in the area surrounding the Wheelabrator plant, which they believe were linked to the incinerator. “In 2016, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health conducted a study to investigate such concerns and found in their report (issued March 9, 2016) that ‘overall, there does not seem to be an unusual pattern of cancer in the community of Saugus’ (page 18, V. Conclusion),” Connolly said in response to that testimony following the hearing. Several residents said they believe material on their cars or houses came from Wheelabrator. “Last year, in response to Wheelabrator’s offer to the community to test the material to determine its source, one organization, the Point of Pines Yacht Club in Revere, had questions about material on boats,” Connolly said in a statement after the meeting. “In response, Wheelabrator commissioned a study by an independent chemist to analyze the material. Using electron microscopy, microbial analysis and metals analysis, the study found no evidence that the material had come from Wheelabrator,” Connolly said. Vincent: “How can this be right?” Vincent, whose 16th Suffolk District includes two Saugus precincts – including 10, where the incinerator on Route 107 is located – was the leadoff speaker. She reiterated her position expressed in an interview last week with The Advocate that she initially supported the DEP document, which appeared to require Wheelabrator to comply with the proposed emission standards. But after considering the ERCs, Wheelabrator would be in compliance “on paper,” but not really. DEP | SEE PAGE 5 Restaurant Hours Monday – Wednesday 11:00 A.M. – 9:30 P.M.

Wheelabrator Saugus will actually get a pass on meeting standards,” Vincent said. “Require Wheelabrator Saugus to meet the same standards as everyone else,” she testified. “Please do your job … do what’s right,” Vincent said. Saugus Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta read a letter she wrote on behalf of the full Board of Selectmen several weeks ago which raised concerns about the DEP document. That letter noted “Wheelabrator Saugus does not currently meet the new nitrogen oxide (NOx) limits, where their EMC outlines an emission reduction strategy that does not adhere to the MassDEP’s standards.” “We understand that Wheelabrator Saugus is the oldest incinerator in the United States, but that shouldn’t give them a ‘pass’ on meeting today’s standards, especially when dealing with health and safety of our town,” the letter continues. The letter was written before Rep. Vincent learned that the DEP document included a provision for Wheelabrator to be able to purchase ERCs to meet the proposed emission standards. “You’re here to protect us ... please,” Panetta said. “Please do not subsidize corporate wealth with my community’s health … It’s not fair,” she said. THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, October 18 , 2019 sions affecting Wheelabrator. Page 5 “The bottom line is that nitro“This is not a car” A number of Saugus elected representatives amplified Panetta’s plea. Wheelabrator “should not be allowed to pay to pollute,” Precinct 1 Town Meeting Member Ann Devlin said. Stephen M. Horlick, Town Meeting member in Precinct 8, noted that if he had a 20-year-old car that failed emissions standards, he would fail the annual state automobile inspection. “I can’t buy a credit to keep it on the road,” Horlick said. “This is not a car. This is an incinerator. Big difference,” he said. Saugus’s longtime Wheelabrator critic Peter Manoogian noted, “It’s generally accepted that power plants have a life expectancy of 40 years.” “This plant is close to 50 years old and it’s starting to break down,” he said. With the DEP allowing Wheelabrator to buy credits that could be used for emission reductions, it was eliminating any incentive for the company to make necessary improvements for the plant so that it could meet standards on its own, Manoogian added. He also noted that top state officials – including the governor and lieutenant governor – were receiving campaign contributions from Wheelabrator, which could be favorably influencing state decigen oxide is a poisonous gas,” said Elle Baker, a former Saugus resident who currently lives in Revere and is a member of the Alliance for Health and Environment. “Why should we have more toxic air so that somebody else living near a clean incinerator gets better air,” Baker said. “Buying credit makes no sense.” Baker also suggested that the quality of air coming out of Wheelabrator Saugus’s smokestacks could be worse than what officials think because it’s tested one day every nine months. Saugus Town Meeting Member Martin Costello of Precinct 10 reminded the DEP of its mission statement: to protect the state’s land, water and air. “This is an absurdity that we’re even having this meeting tonight,” Costello said. “If you can’t comply, close down. It’s as simple as that,” he said. Attorney George Hailer, special counsel to the Town of Saugus on Environmental Affairs, told The Saugus Advocate before the hearing that he was ready to back the DEP document. But that was before he learned of the ability of Wheelabrator to purchase ERCs. Hailer later testified that he feels “very uncomfortable” that there was a lack of public knowledge of the ERCs. “I would like the Department [DEP] to give another 30 days for public comment,” Hailer said.

We reported inaccurately that a portion of the letter written by Board of Selectmen Chair Debra Panetta accusing Wheelabrator with being out of compliance with nitrogen oxide standards was removed after being reviewed by the town’s environmental lawyer. Several selectmen expressed concerns about the accuracy of a draft of the letter that Panetta presented at a Board of Selectmen’s meeting last month. They suggested that it be reviewed by the town’s environmental lawyer before being mailed to the state Department of Environmental Protection. An environmental lawyer reviewed the letter and determined that there were no problems in its original form and advised Panetta that it was okay for her to send it. The letter was not changed from the original version. The Advocate regrets the error.

I told you that I am a proud, lifelong, fourth generation son of Revere, whose vision for our ward and city is seen through the lens of a young professional who’s grown up here and intends to raise a family here. With deep roots that stretch over 100 years in the city, I will be a bridge between the Revere of the past and the Revere of the future. I will be a leader who will lay the groundwork for an even better Revere for the next generation so that my children and grandchildren will continue to call this place home. I explained that I am seeking to be your Ward Councillor because I believe my commitment to the community throughout my life, coupled with my professional experience advocating for the people of Revere in the office of our State Representative for more than five years has provided me with the necessary tools and contacts to impact a positive and meaningful difference in Ward 6. Today, I want to outline my platform, and let you know where I stand on some of the issues I have been hearing about from residents as I have been knocking their doors, seeing them in church and meeting them at events around the city. First up – TRAFFIC. Many people in Ward 6, including myself, are frustrated with daily traffic on the roadways as we try to get to work and the kids to school. However, we must be realistic and understand this issue far extends Linden Square, Salem Street, Washington Avenue and Squire Road – all of Greater Boston is trying to figure out how to mitigate traffic. On the most local level, I’d like to convene a Ward 6 Traffic Working Group to brainstorm possible solutions to traffic backups in our little slice of the city. This would include residents and appropriate city officials. The idea would be to come up with proposals that could realistically be implemented to better the flow of traffic on streets like Washington Avenue, Malden Street, Salem Street, Squire Road and in Linden Square. Second – DEVELOPMENT. When it comes to proposed development, as a councillor, my preference and prerogative are thoughtful, targeted economic development projects that would boost the City of Revere’s commercial interests. In Ward 6 alone, we have opportunities to enhance Squire Road, and with the old Weilu’s site that straddles Saugus and North Revere coming down the pipeline, in the future there will discussion about what is developed there on the Revere side. Talking to young people around the city, I would like to see more businesses that would not only add to the city’s commercial tax base and create jobs, like a tech company, but also those that will entice residents to spend recreational time in the community instead of going outside the city or into Boston. Be it modern, fun restaurants or eclectic shops or a place where you can host your kid’s birthday party, Revere needs places that bring our friends to Revere instead of us going out to places like Market Street in Lynnfield or Dave and Buster’s in Woburn. Next up – FLOODING. From Day One of my campaign, I have expressed that one of my top priorities as Ward 6’s Councillor would be to work to come up with solutions to flooding issues in West Revere. After witnessing how Asti, Tuscano and parts of Geneva and Roland flood during sustained heavy rains, I feel that the issue of trash gates being blocked COUNCILLOR | SEE PAGE 17 PRE-ELECTION PIZZA PARTY WITH THE CANDIDATE along Asti Avenue is not the WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23RD – 6:00 PM TO 8:00 PM MOTTOLO POST – CASA LUCIA LOWER HALL 61 LUCIA AVENUE, REVERE MA, 02151 STOP IN FOR A SLICE & CONVERSATION WITH RICKY ABOUT HIS VISION FOR WARD 6 AHEAD OF ELECTION DAY.

Freelance artist Sury Chavez drew eight abstract beach street mural designs on Unity Avenue as approximately 40 volunteers painted them during the recent Neighborways Unity Avenue Paint Day. “I wanted beach themes, because we’re five minutes walking and two minutes driving from Revere Beach,” Chavez said. “And one unity painting, because we’re on Unity Avenue.” Last Friday she designed a Beachmont Improvement Committee (BIC) logo, octopus, turtle, fish, shell, seahorse, lighthouse and a symbol of unity with people collectively carrying a boat, and community members filled in the paintings with exterior water-based paint and paintbrushes on Saturday. “I’m excited,” said Chavez, who designs murals. “It’s my first time working with the community.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com. Beachmont resident Kristin Pina fills in colors on a unity painting of people carrying a boat to represent unity on Unity Avenue.

As you are aware, working families in Revere and its surrounding cities and towns are finding it difficult Mayor: Sonny Myers Park will be reconstructed Special to The Advocate M ayor Brian Arrigo announced this week that the City has been awarded a $266,515 grant from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs that will help fund the reconstruction of Sonny Myers Park next summer. “We are grateful to the Baker-Polito Administration for their commitment to create and restore parks and recreational land use across the Commonwealth,” said Mayor Arrigo. “Sonny Myers Park is one of the most popular recreational areas of the city. It’s a classic urban park, a quiet refuge for families and residents who seek a respite from their busy day.” The renovation will include new play structures, walkways and seating and fence repair. The park will meet ADA requirements after upgrades to entry points and ground surfaces, and the project will also include landscape enhancements that will preserve the shade tree canopy that makes the park a welcome refuge for residents looking to escape the hot summer sun. The full cost of the renovation is estimated to be $396,734. The City Council unanimously approved a Resolution in July committing the full funding of the work anticipating the grant amount in reimbursement. Revere’s grant is part of five separate state programs that will help communities and land trusts across the Commonwealth conserve nearly 1,200 acres of land and renovate 24 urban parks. Revere’s grant derives from the Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities (PARC) Grant Program, which provided over $7.6 million in grant funding in 23 Massachusetts cities and towns. “I applaud our Community Development team for producing a grant application that faced stiff competition from communities across the state and ultimately was deemed worthy of approval,” said Mayor Arrigo. “And I congratulate the City Council for its vote that approved the park renovations in order to support the grant application. Once again, Revere’s close working relationship with the Baker-Polito Administration has yielded benefits for our residents.” Governor Charlie Baker spoke of the importance of land conservation and urban parks. “Land protection and conservation play an integral role in our Administration’s efforts to protect the Commonwealth’s environmental resources and address the impact of climate change,” said Governor Baker. “Through these grants, we are investing in expanding and improving the network of local conservation areas where residents enjoy the outdoors.” Mayor Arrigo added that “this grant helps us continue our long-term, citywide mission to renovate parks and recreational spaces that have fallen into poor condition after being overlooked for years. Safe, modern public spaces where all residents feel welcome are a vital part of maintaining a high quality of life in a city.” Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito added that “public parks and open spaces lead to strong economies and a good quality of life, so our Administration is pleased to invest in these important projects.” ~ LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR ~ Concerned resident in favor of all-flavored tobacco products ban Dear Editor, As a Revere resident, mother, and grandmother, I am very concerned with the availability of flavored vaping/e-cigarette products. I’ve already lost a child to addiction and I know how innocently kids can be lured in. I know this is not the same as hard drugs or alcohol, however, addiction is addiction. I support calling our legislature to ban the sale of all flavored tobacco products. We must protect our youth. Sincerely, Kathleen Heiser to make ends meet in this global economy. One that does not believe in affordable healthcare, pensions or their ability to live comfortably in their adult years. It seems that the “bottom line” is the only thing people care about. They are not thinking of the social consequences that are created when people do not have the ability to plan for retirement or healthcare during their senior years and are relegated to Federal Social Programs. It is the taxpayer who will bear the burden of taking care of these future generations. Workers are being asked to contribute more to healthcare costs and forgoing pension contributions to pay their current energy, housing and living expenses which are escalating daily. While developers are lining their pockets with this same money, they are, in effect, fleecing the future of your constituents. We believe that you understand our views and will continue in that same manner protecting the working families of tomorrow. We need more people like you that are willing to do the hard work required, such as bringing people together to have challenging conversations, that may never happen without your support.

The Patriots passed the first challenge last Saturday at Manning Field in Lynn by pulling off an exciting 32-30 victory in overtime against the previously unbeaten Lynn English Bulldogs. The contest was a back-andforth affair, with English establishing a 14-6 lead in the first half. The Patriots scored late in the second quarter when quarterback Calvin Boudreau connected with Lucas Barbosa on a nine-yard scoring pass. That made it 14-12 at the half. RB Joe Llanos (150 yards rushing for the game) scored in the third quarter to give Revere an 18-14 lead. English came back to retake the lead at 21-18. But Llanos With teammate Ryan Doucette leading the way, Revere RB Jonathan Murphy gets collared by a Lynn English defender. rose to the occasion again by returning the ensuing kickoff 77 yards for a TD and a 2421 Revere advantage. English would tie it with a fourth-quarter field goal. The contest entered overtime and that’s when it got bizarre. The Patriots won the toss and elected to go on offense. They promptly scored on a two-yard burst and subsequent two-point conversion run by Llanos to go in front, 32-24. It was Revere’s lone successful extra-point attempt of the day. It appeared the Patriots had Revere RB Joe Llanos powers his way through a mass of bodies for a long gainer in last Saturday’s overtime win in Lynn.

Playoff-bound Revere defeats Everett Crimson Tide, 4-1 H aving earned a place in the postseason tournament for the first time in more than three decades, the Revere Lady Patriots notched their ninth win of the season by defeating a competitive Everett Crimson Tide team, 4-1, Monday morning in field hockey action at Harry Della Russo Stadium. Katie O’Donnell scored twice and Julianna Raffa added two goals and an assist, as the Lady Patriots improved to 9-2-1. On the other side, Everett has made the win column recently and actually carried the play for portions of Monday’s game, especially in the second half after it had fallen behind, 3-0. O’Donnell’s goal off an assist from Raffa at 19:16 of the first period gave the Lady Patriots a 1-0 edge. Raffa followed that up with her first score when she received a nice cross pass from Eve Lescovitz to make it 2-0 about five minutes later. That’s how it stayed until halftime. (Advocate Photos by Greg Phipps) Revere’s Giulia Cincinnato beats an Everett player to the ball in Monday’s win at Harry Della Russo Stadium. (Advocate Photos by Greg Phipps) Revere would increase the advantage to 3-0 on Raffa’s second tally (Crystal Valente assisting on the play) about five minutes into the second half. But the visiting Tide refused to lie down, as they began to pressure the Revere end and produce several good scoring chances. Everett finally broke through when DJ Schovanec connected on a wrist shot from about 10 feet away to close the deficit to 3-1. Revere proceeded to call a time out. Almost immediately the Lady Patriots went on the offensive, and it paid off Revere forward Crystal Valente tries to turn the corner against an Everett defender on Monday. when O’Donnell wrapped one home from close in to regain the three-goal lead with just under eight minutes left. Having already made the playoffs seemed to relax the Lady Patriots entering Monday’s contest. “We qualified with our last win, so the pressure was off and we had some fun out there today,” said Revere head coach Briana Scata after the game. “It’s been an amazing season for us. The team has been terrific. We’re the first [Revere field hockey] team to qualify for the tournament in 35 years, and we’ve earned the most [season] wins in the program’s history.” ׉ 7cassandra://INIJgUVUXw68nX_izQmjXzLoN_uXxtVb0AE-ojGaRQc/`̰] `C#cD] `C#cD PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://KV5sWSX8Zaexg1-gs6RWJnpJBWqpy8ANcMXrVkV8zXgsc`)׉ 7cassandra://Xo91IFTvv0NG0UKSrQTwQ-EgpzYC4PcBWbW0a-ACiPgͥ`J׉ 7cassandra://FsMRaEvUWjKE8_lxUZiWsOvulw8xWsKXS4GPfskp5ac3n`̰׉ 7cassandra://56kW6QcC7TAXwb7YiNW--5848_Yg2vjIVyoHh6r951E,t͠] uC#cDט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://tIvmRhS19Hmo66CyQUY3-NLkVxlPyfu_FXKO43VV4Rc8`)׉ 7cassandra://RgEeqTznZ2QVeiQxxODQWEq_hpEXLQ4J4lCOeyzh0Uk͡?`J׉ 7cassandra://TZduzG7jvrxZ3Nx_8vX6bnING9Chnw21M7G-p_oRanU2q`̰׉ 7cassandra://PW8O4RC2gmGregCgRfRlQlEQDJ0TY_KXOBtIHmzphZMo]̜͠] vC#cDנ] vC#cD D9ׁH!mailto:printjournalist1@gmail.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E \Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, October 18 , 2019 Italian-American pride evident in Columbus Day parade By Tara Vocino O ne of Revere’s longest standing traditions, the Columbus Day parade, celebrated Italian-American heritage on Monday, at the south end of Broadway on the Chelsea line.

Hispanic Heritage Month spans from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. The day of Sept. 15 is significant, as it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Representatives from those and other Latin cultures celebrated their heritage through food, drink, art, music and dance.

However, things began to change when developer Paul Kneeland took the reins. “He’s a guy that does things,” said Powers. “He has a proven track record.” Now, Kneeland is working with Powers to knock down the buildings formerly occupied by Bank of America and Enterprise Rent-A-Car and construct new buildings in their place.

MORE MONEY FOR SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECTS (S 2350) Senate 38-0, approved an amendment raising from $602 million to $800 million the annual funding cap that the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) is allowed to spend on school building and renovation projects. The quasiindependent government authority’s job is to fund capital improvement projects in public schools across the state. According to its site, “The MSBA strives to work with local communities to create affordable, sustainable and energy-efficient schools across Massachusetts.» “We can’t expect our students to succeed in the 21st century when they’re attending schools built to serve students in the 1950s, which is why it’s crucial that we give the hardworking staff at the MSBA the resources they need to evaluate and finance more projects,” said the amendment sponsor Sen. Barry Finegold (D-Andover). “The increase to the cap will allow the MSBA to spread more dollars across the commonwealth and address the demand for potential projects. With a potential downturn in the economy on the horizon, we need to authorize these projects now so that we create jobs and get these projects off the ground while we are able to do so.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Joseph Boncore Didn’t of recommendations relative to flooding in our neighborhood, which included studying the feasibility of increasing drainage in West Revere and dredging the two brooks that straddle the neighborhood.

Three missed PAT kicks and one failed two-point play made the contest closer than it needed to be.

Amendment supporters said this is a step in the right direction to correct some of the inequities in the Chapter 70 formula which is used to distribute school funds to each city and town. “School funding under Chapter 70 has been underfunded for two years,” said amendment co-sponsor Sen. Dean Tran (RFitchburg). “I am very happy to see that many of the districts across the commonwealth are now adequately funded. We should continue to work towards growing our economy in order to support the revenue that is necessary to fund our schools, and in support of this bill going forward.” (A “Yes” vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Joseph Boncore Didn’t Vote RURAL SCHOOLS COMMISSION (S 2350) Senate 38-0, approved an amendment creating a special commission to study and make recommendations concerning the long-term fiscal health of rural school districts that are facing or may face declining student enrollment. REVERE. As I’ve been having conversations with voters over the past eight months, an issue that residents ask about is whether or not I would support a proposal to make our city a sanctuary city. To my knowledge, there is not a proposal on the table, but let me be perfectly clear that this is where I stand: I am NOT in support of, NOR would I vote to designate Revere as a sanctuary city. Furthermore, should I have to win. That’s all that counts,” he pointed out. Revere also had a chance to end it in the waning seconds of regulation, but Page 17 According to the bill, the commission will study long-term economic, demographic and student enrollment trends and projections in communities that are rural or experiencing population decline; long-term fiscal trends in school districts experiencing declining student enrollment; an analysis of the fiscal health of regional school districts; the impact of regionalization on each contributing municipality, especially in low-income and middle-income areas; and the best policies and practices in other states. Amendment supporters said many rural districts are losing enrollment and they face additional challenges in the coming years. “This commission will be a robust effort to look at real challenges the school districts in my region are facing, due to low or declining student enrollment and other rural challenges,” said the amendment’s sponsor Sen. Adam Hinds (D-Pittsfield). “This will not be a report that sits on a shelf and collects dust. I know I intend to use it to continue my advocacy for rural schools and the students, families and communities they serve.” Tues. Oct. 8 No House session Wed. Oct. 9 No House session. Fri.

Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of October 7-11, the House met for a total of 29 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 28 minutes. Mon.

Where can we get help? Drowning in Debt Dear Drowning, Unfortunately, credit card and mortgage debt have become a growing problem for many older Americans who often face medical-related expenses on top of their mortgage and other growing costs. Here are some tips and services that can help. Credit Card Counseling To help you get a handle on your credit card debt, a good place to turn is an accredited credit counseling agency. These are nonprofit agencies that offer free financial information and advice on how to handle financial problems. Depending on the significance of your credit card debt, they can help you sort out your finances and set you up in a debt management plan (DMP), which allows a counselor to negotiate with your creditors to lower your interest rates and eliminate any late fees and other penalties. The agency will then act as a consolidator, grouping your debts together into one payment that you would make, and distributes those funds to your creditors. Typically, the first counseling session is free, but a DMP comes with monthly fees of roughly $20 to $75 a month, depending on the state. To locate a credible agency in your area, use the National Foundation for Credit Counseling website at NFCC.org (800388-2227), or the or the Financial Counseling Association of America FCAA.org (800-450-1794). But make sure that you don’t use a debt settlement company that claims to settle all your debt or cut it in half for a fee without counseling. Most of these companies use deceptive practices and will only leave you more in debt then you already are. Mortgage Counseling If you have fallen behind on your mortgage payments, or if you have already received a letter or phone call about missed payments, you should contact your lender immediately to explain your situation and see if you can work out a payment plan. Be prepared to provide your financial information, such as your monthly income and expenses. You can also get help from a foreclosure prevention counselor. These are HUD-approved, trained counselors that will work with you, examine your financial situation, and offer guidance on how best to avoid default or foreclosure. They can also represent you in negotiations with your lender if you need them to. To find a government-approved housing counseling agency in your area, use the National Foundation for Credit Counseling or Financial Counseling Association of America websites or phone numbers previously listed. Or, for a larger selection of housing counseling options see the Department of Housing and Urban Development website at HUD.gov – click on “Resources” at the top of the page, then on “Foreclosure Avoidance Counseling,” or call 800-569-4287. Financial Assistance You also need to make sure you’re not missing out on any financial assistance programs. The National Council on Aging’s website (BenefitsCheckUp.org) contains a database of more than 2,500 federal, state and local programs that can help seniors with prescription drug costs, health care, food, utilities, and other basic needs. The site will help you locate programs that you may be eligible for and will show you how to apply. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

A: I think anything that involves the voters is incredibly important. Without them and without the input from the residents, we can only do so much on City Council.
