The lengthy and detailed complaints include numerous instances of how Callahan, since becoming chief, has systematically sidelined O’Hara and Mangino in favor of lower-ranked less-qualified male officers. According to the complaints, as female officers in a male-dominated public safety profession, both O’Hara and Mangino have experienced gender discrimination at various times during their careers. However, the extent and degree of such discrimination has become unbearable during the nearly three years under Callahan. What makes this discrimination particularly insidious is that it takes place primarily through subtle but discernible acts of disparate treatment that build up to create a work environment permeated by stress, anxiety, and hostility. “Captains Mangino and O’Hara only want to bring change to the Revere Police Department,” said attorney Joseph Sulman who is representing both women. “They reported Chief Callahan’s conduct to the city, but nothing was done. They participated in an investigation for six months, but nothing changed. This lawsuit was a last resort. After over nearly three years of having their expertise disregarded and authority openly undermined by Chief Callahan day after day, they needed to take action.” According to the complaints, Callahan has repeatedly failed to communicate or brief O’Hara and Mangino on operational matters which affect the safety of the city and officers. Callahan has repeatedly reasSUIT | SEE Page 17 It’s official: Arrigo named new DCR Commissioner by Gov. Healey By Barbara Taormina W eeks of rumors and speculation about where Mayor Brian Arrigo would land when he officially resigns on April 21 came to an end this week when it was announced on Monday that he would be the new Commissioner of the state’s Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR). “It’s time we think bigger about the role of the Department of Conservation and Recreation in our state,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca L. Tepper, who made the announcement. “DCR manages 450,000 acres of land in Massachusetts – from forests to urban oases. We need a Commissioner like Mayor Arrigo who understands the vital role our parks system, tree planting efforts, and conservation work intersect with public health and the climate crisis.” Gov. Maura Healey praised Arrigo’s experience transforming Revere’s waterfront and managing public lands. “Policymaking is about more than laws and budgets – it’s about building happy, healthy communities for our residents. Mayor Arrigo understands, as I do, that DCR is central to those efforts,” said Healey. CAROL TYE BRIAN ARRIGO New DCR Commissioner “I know he will work tirelessly so everyone in our state has access to well-maintained green spaces and fun activities for all ages.” Arrigo said he was honored to join the Healey-Driscoll administration at this pivotal time for public lands. “I believe DCR lies at the nexus of the climate crisis, economic competitiveness, public health, and equity,” said Arrigo. “Access to wellmaintained, healthy outdoor space promotes tourism, builds healthy families, and helps us nurture the next generation of environmentalists. We did this in Revere, and I’m looking forward to stepping up our tree planting efforts, improving park maintenance, and ensuring that every Massachusetts resident can access our beautiful natural resources.” Tepper’s announcement also highlighted Arrigo’s accomplishments in Revere, including the development of the master plan – Next Stop Revere – the creation of a 311-constituent service office, a Human Resources Office, a new Department of Public Works facility and a new Point of Pines Fire Station. She also noted Arrigo had brought in hundreds of millions of dollars in public and private investment along Revere Beach, Shirley Avenue and Suffolk Downs. City Council President Patrick Keefe will become Revere’s Acting Mayor for the remaining months of Arrigo’s current term.

These elected officials were joined by MVES Board members, MVES staff and stakeholders from community programs across the region. Representative Donato explained that he had two reasons for speaking: to urge his fellow lawmakers to support the legislative agenda laid out by MVES and to thank MVES for its efforts. “The real workers, the ones who are in the trenches doing the daily, daily work for the seniors in the community,” he said. MVES CEO Lisa Gurgone highlighted three FY24 state budget priorities to fund critical programs that support older adults, people with disabilities and their caregivers. The first request would provide $4.7 million in additional funding for statewide Elder Supportive Housing. MVES is an Aging Services Access Point (ASAP) in Massachusetts that receives funding through the Elder Supportive Housing initiative to work in partnership with local housing authorities to embed Resident Service Coordinators within housing sites. “Our Resident Service Coordinator staff plan events and programming, and provide Case Management support. We also offer meals at those sites,” Gurgone explained. “It’s such a wonderful opportunity for residents to come together as a community and access services that help them to age in place.” The lawmakers heard an example of this program in action from Larry Pruitt, who lives at a Malden Housing Authority building. Pruitt explained how MVES staff help him coordinate transportation to medical appointments and he also receives Meals on Wheels twice a week. He relishes the sense of community that MVES programs bring to the building. “It’s been such a joy living in Malden and taking advantage of Mystic Valley. They’ve been so much help,” Pruitt said. Vincent Cali described his experience working with MVES to ensure care for his father, Frank, a 98-year-old Malden resident. From meals to home care aides to social programs, Cali said, these programs have made it possible for his father to remain living in his apartment – and remain there happily. He especially praised the Resident Service Coordinator from MVES embedded at the building. “Every time we ran into a situation, I would call her, and she would go above and beyond to take care of it, making sure he had the people in place, the services that he needs,” Cali said. As for the second budget priority, Gurgone urged lawmakers to support a request to add $3 million to the state budget to support the Serving the Health Insurance Needs of Everyone (SHINE) Benefits Counseling Program, which helps people navigate their healthcare options, including Medicare. Understanding available healthcare options is often confusing and stressful for consumers. The SHINE program helps older adults understand their health insurance options and enroll in the coverage that benefits them the most. The third budget request would add $3 million to support the state’s Elder Nutrition Program, which enables agencies like MVES to provide over 700,000 meals each year to individuals in need. Gurgone stated that while the COVID pandemic drew attention to this program, home-delivered meals have always been and continue to be an essential service for older MVES | SEE Page 3 Prices subject to change DIESEL TRUCK STOP FLEET ׉ 7cassandra://cv_qLjOCnW8e7Z6AsiBgdm30X_cuGh4X0D3i6Uxeu7s-`̰d8rޜ#x׉E'THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 2023 Page 3 Food so good, you might forget the donuts.

Healey has appointed local Attorney Gerry D’Ambrosio of D’Ambrosio LLP to the Judicial Nominating Commission. The distinguished, non-partisan Commission advises the Governor on the nomination and appointment of the Commonwealth’s judicial officers. “Judicial officers play a critical role in shaping the lives of Massachusetts residents. Our goal is to ensure that those serving on our courts are committed to justice and equality, and that they are representative of the vibrant, diverse communities they serve,” said Governor Healey in a press release. “We’re proud to be appointing this experienced, dedicated group to the Judicial Nominating Commission, who I know I can count on to advise me on nominating the best judges to serve the people of Massachusetts.” D’Ambrosio is honored to join these talented members of the Commission that will perform due diligence to ensure that juMVES | FROM Page 2 adults. With costs rising, the program needs additional funding. Gurgone also noted how the program provides much-needed welfare checks and social interaction for individuals who are isolated at home. She shared a moving story of a community resident whose medical emergency was discovered after he failed to answer the door for his meal delivery. The meals driver alerted the MVES staff member who is embedded at the build1141 Revere Beach Parkway, Revere DandeeDonuts.com OPEN DAILY 5 AM TO ing, and ultimately the resident received the medical attention he needed. Senator Lewis addressed an underlying problem that impacts all programs offered to older adults and people with disabilities: the workforce shortage. This was already a problem when studied in 2017, and post-pandemic it has worsened to a crisis point. Too often, lawmakers hear from constituents who waited to receive home care support, only to end up back on the waiting list when 7 PM the worker leaves his or her position. “In the Legislature, we are acutely aware of the workforce shortage crisis that is impacting our seniors and caregivers,” said Senator Lewis. “We are deeply committed to doing everything we can to administer state grants and support initiatives that provide assistance for our seniors, and to partnering with our communities to continue ensuring healthy communication between the state and local providers about their needs.” GERRY D’AMBROSIO Attorney dicial candidates possess those qualities essential to serving on the state’s courts, such as integrity and good judgement. “I started my legal career as an attorney nearly thirty years ago and have always been passionate about fairness, equality, and diversity in the judiciary,” D’Ambrosio said. “I look forward to reentering public service and assisting the Governor in her selection of judges and other judicial officers. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve.” Lawrence A.

Back on the Common for the first time since 2019, the one-day fundraising event will raise more than $1 million to support food assistance resources and sustainable policy solutions to end hunger across the Commonwealth. Since 1969 – as the first pledge walk in the nation – Project Bread’s Walk for Hunger has brought together a diverse community dedicated to creating change. On Sunday, May 7, the annual fundraiser returns to Boston Common after three years of being virtual due to COVID-19 safety precautions. This rite of passage for people in Massachusetts returns in its 55th year with a shorter route and a fresh look. The mission of the time-honored tradition will never change. The fundraising goal this year is over $1 million. “As we continue to recover www.eight10barandgrille.com OPEN DAILY FOR DINNER AT 4 PM. CATCH THE CELTICS, BRUINS & NCAA SPORTS ON OUR 6 LARGE SCREEN TV'S! om from the pandemic and see federal emergency benefits such as expanded SNAP benefits coming to an end, 1 in 5 Massachusetts households with children are still struggling without enough to eat,” says Project Bread CEO Erin McAleer. “That number jumps dramatically for Black, brown, and immigrant households. Participating in Project Bread’s Walk for Hunger is one way we can all do something real to make sure our neighbors in need can get the food to meet their most basic of needs.” Witter first participated in WE'RE OPEN! 8 Norwood Street, Everett (617) 387-9810 Project Bread’s Walk for Hunger in 2006. She was inspired to walk by her first boyfriend when she was 16 years old. Almost 20 years later, Witter has raised $2,000 for the cause. For the past two and a half years, Witter has worked for Revere’s Community Health and Engagement Office’s Food Hub in conjunction with Revere’s First Congregational Church food pantry. She feeds approximately 500 families every week and hears stories from people who face food insecurity locally. Participating in the Walk for Hunger opened her eyes to what was happening in Massachusetts. Her goal is to raise $5,000 this year. “I’ve always wanted to give back to my community,” says Witter. “Life is truly about the little things. Even just an hour here and an hour there, it is all important. After listening to people’s stories at the food pantry, it pushed me to do what I could to get healthy, fresh, affordable and culturally appropriate food for these people. Many residents in Revere live paycheck to paycheck and struggled through the pandemic to have enough to eat. Food insecurity is real, and we need to combat it together.” Money raised through the Patriotism Stands. We’ll be closed Monday, April 17th in observance of the holiday. You can access your accounts using our ATMs and Online & Mobile Banking. Thank you! Walk for Hunger is critical to Project Bread’s statewide work to ensure kids reliably have enough to eat, provide one-onone support for individuals and families who need food assistance, and work to prevent hunger in the first place by eliminating barriers to resources and implementing policies that make food more accessible. In keeping with the community spirit of the event, the Walk also provides a platform for organizations to fund the vital work they do fighting hunger locally. “The Commonwealth” is a joint fundraising program Project Bread launched in 2019. In 2022, 36 nonprofits raised more than $123,000 to support their own programs. “This year’s event represents a culmination of our fundraising season and a celebration of community efforts over the last three years of the pandemic to fundraise and walk to solve hunger,” says McAleer. “We cannot wait to welcome the Massachusetts community – both new and returning – together in-person on the Common while continuing to engage those across the country making strides in the fight against hunger locally.” This 55th annual event will include remarks by McAleer as well as family-friendly activities on the Boston Common, such as live music, photo booths, giveaways and raffle prizes, lawn games and a Kid’s Corner with balloon animals and face painting. For the fifth consecutive year, Project Bread is inviting other anti-hunger programs to participate as co-fundraisers in the event through The Commonwealth program. To register as a participant for “Project Bread’s The Walk for Hunger” or to support a walker or team with a donation, visit projectbread.org/walk or call 617-723-5000.

Dear Editor, Three weeks ago I submitted an Open Meeting Law complaint against the Northeast Metro Tech School Building Committee. The complaint alleges Open Meeting Law violations over almost the entire period of time the committee has been meeting, violations that explain why the public have been unaware of the plan to build the new school on the forested hilltop site until only recently. The complaint says that for the first 22 months of the project, the school Building Committee posted no public meeting notices. It says that for the next 13 months of the project, the Building Committee posted notices only sporadically - not for every meeting and not to every town and city in the district. During that time, when meeting notices were posted, the notices did not include an agenda or announcements of upcoming votes, something required under the Open Meeting Law. The Building Committee took major votes in three meetings during this time - none of those votes were announced to the public. One of those votes was the vote on the location of the new school building. The public were prevented from having input on the decision of where to build, and the decision to build on the hill was kept quiet all the way through the vote to approve the funding. Additional violations are that meeting minutes for the Building Committee’s meetings were not posted on the town’s and city’s municipal websites, and the committee did not follow the steps required by the Open Meeting Law to adopt a separate website as its official posting method. The public were not made aware of meetings, of the stage of the project, of upcoming votes, or of previous discussions by the committee. It was a virtual shut out. When the Open Meeting Law complaint was shared with town representatives on the Building Committee, one representative replied “It will be interesting to learn whether or not Northeast failed to submit meeting notices in a timely manner or, if in fact, the clerks in the cities and towns erred by not posting the notices accordingly.” The implication being that if meeting notices weren’t posted to the towns, it was the fault of all 12 town clerks in the district, not of the Building Committee. The idea strains credulity and Local artist repairs Revere Beach 1954 Diorama tells you something about their sense of accountability. The Building Committee has said the public should have known about the school’s location from the Facebook page, which launched months after the committee’s vote on the site. Unfortunately for the Building Committee, the Open Meeting Law does not say that public information can be shared on “Facebook or wherever,” it says that it has to be shared via the official posting method for each town, in other words, the posting method on file with the Attorney General’s office. For most towns in the district the official posting method is the town’s municipal website. This serves to ensure that a town resident can reasonably find the informaVOKE | SEE Page 11 9 Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

Ward 1 Councillor Joanne Mckenna was quite disturbed upon hearing that the mayor informed the Metropolitan Area Planning Council that work on the arts center must stop completely. The upcoming mayor’s race is already generating lots of political activity with a vacant mayor’s seat on the ballot come the September preliminary race. Already a number of candidates have announced their intention of running to replace the incumbent, who will be resigning later this month and getting appointed to a state post. The candidates to date include three councillors-at-large, Dan Rizzo, Gerry Visconti and Steven Morabito, all giving up their at-large council seats. Another candidate is Ward 4 Councillor and current City Council President Patrick M. Keefe, Jr. He seems to be getting support from the current mayor and many of his supporters. Seemingly, O’Keefe will become the acting Mayor until a SCHOOL | FROM Page 1 Committee member Carol Tye voted in favor of the motion “with great reluctance” and committee member John Kingston apologized. Like other members, Kingston staunchly supported building the school at Wonderland. “I apologize for my vote,” he said. “But I want to get a high school built and this is the only option.” “We have to go through that process to understand what the cost will be,” Kelly told the committee. Kelly said it would take about a year to complete all the site and design work. “But the best thing is to keep the project moving forward,” she said. “Even if that means spending $2 million that could be better spent elsewhere.” Kingston insisted that the city, not the school department, pay for the new design work. “The council rejected Wonderland,” Kingston said. “If the council is rejecting the Wonderland site, why are we paying for the second study. You pay for the second schematic design.” Committee members expressed all the concerns that have been raised about building on the existing site, but as committee member Susan Gravellese said, “The clock is ticking.” The Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), new mayor is elected and gets sworn into office. You can bet your bottom dollar that the Public Art Center will become an issue in this campaign as candidates will work Beachmont voters to the max. In a crowded campaign any political edge will be worth fighting for. It will, as some say, make things a bit more complicated for O’Keefe, who is running for mayor. The other candidates are surely going to try and tie O’Keefe to the incumbent mayor. The McKenna accusation just makes things a bit more difficult for O’Keefe but he’s also pretty politically astute, too. All in all, the 2023 mayoral race in Revere could be one for the ages. In the end, all the candidates will be spending the rest of this year with one eye on their council jobs and one eye on the mayor’s race. Soon we all will see the campaign ads up the kazoo. which will be picking up a significant amount of the cost for the new school, needs an answer. “I feel our only choice is to move forward with what was voted by the council,” said Gravellese Kelly said the MSBA would approve the city’s decision to start over with the existing site if the city council, the school committee, and the high school building committee voted in favor of that move. But Kelly stressed Revere needs to go to the MSBA with three clean votes from those three bodies. Committee members did question what would become of the Wonderland site which the city now owns. “It was taken to use to build a school,” said committee member Mayor Brian Arrigo. “It’s still in play for a central middle school. We took it and we heard folks don’t want to see it overdeveloped with residential housing…the city can hold onto it.” Arrigo said the only proposals he has heard for the site were as a parking area for Amazon delivery trucks and as a distribution center for FedEx. The committee acknowledged the city will need to build a new middle school soon and while using the existing high school was part of the school department’s plan, they agreed that Wonderland could be the answer to siting that project.

The NEMT district has over 251,000 registered voters. The project’s Facebook page has only 900 followers - onethird of one percent of the number of registered voters. There is no doubt that the committee members are aware of the Open Meeting Law requirements. The committee’s Chief Executive David DiBarri and School Committee Chair Deborah Davis have attested repeatedly to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (which oversees the funds for the project) that the committee has followed the Open Meeting Law [1-2]. Furthermore, all members of public committees are required to be familiar with the Open Meeting Law requirements. That includes every town and city in the district’s representative on the committee. I’ll share one more example of this committee’s lack of transparency and accountability. In January 2021, the Massachusetts School Building Authority asked the NEMT Project team to "provide a narrative that summarizes the District’s internal and public outreach discussions” regarding the estimated operating costs of the future building, which will be approximately 160% larger than the existing facility. The NEMT project team responded “This budget information will be distributed individually to each member community’s Finance Committee and Town Manager/ Mayor during this Spring’s annual budget presentation in April.” [3] This past February I requested a copy of those operating costs through the Building Committee’s records access officer. The response I eventually received was “No documents regarding post construction operational costs have been produced or shared with city/town officials.” I had to appeal this request to the Secretary of State’s Supervisor of Records to get this response. To be clear, these records relate to the increased annual operating costs that NEMT district residents will have to pay when the new building opens in 2026, on top of the $177 million district residents will have to pay to construct the school where the hilltop forest currently stands. After financing, the cost to the district’s 12 towns and cities will be closer to $307 million [4]. The fact that estimated operating costs were not produced or shared suggests that town officials across the NEMT district are still unaware of the full financial impact of the planned hilltop school building. The upset over the plan to build the new building on the hill is not “just about the trees.” It’s not even a partisan issue. Residents from all across the political spectrum are alarmed by the plan. For some it’s because of the needless destruction of high quality natural resources. For some it’s about the unnecessary safety risks to students of putting the school on the hill, where they will have to cross in front of stopping traffic on a steep road in all weather conditions to access the building from the student parking lot. For some it’s about the accessibility of the campus to students with diverse abilities, students who may see their vocational, recreational, and social opportunities limited because of a school design that clearly did not take them into account. For many it’s about wasteful spending of tax dollars and tax increases that will be required to pay for the extensive costs of building on the hill. The selected building site will require millions of dollars worth of blasting to flatten the hilltop. These blasting costs are not reimbursable by the MSBA and will be passed to the 12 communities in the district. This is not a NIMBY issue. We are simply asking that the school construct its new building in a different spot in our backyard. The NEMT School Committee will be meeting this Thursday, April 13th at 7 pm in the school’s library and will be discussing the OML complaint. I believe that each town’s representative shares responsibility for ensuring that their town has access to the information they need about the project. Please write to your town or city’s representative to tell them you want them to make the common sense decision that’s in everyone’s best interest - building the new school on the already developed land. Contact the district representatives for the 12 towns and cities: https://northeastbuildingproject.com/building-committee/ (Most members’ contact is through T. Kasparek’s email. Please ask Tyese to forward your communication.) Chelsea, Michael Wall Malden, James Holland Melrose, Ward Hamilton N.

RevereTV has been covering their home games here and there over the past few years, but the team is kicking it up a notch with its media goals and on-screen talent. The Renegades will be on RTV in more than just the basic game coverage. You can soon watch a program and short video series on RevereTV’s YouTube and the Community Channel. The first program with the Boston Renegades at RevereTV will be called “The Rundown.” This will be an interview-style show that features longform explanations and coverage about the team and their progress this season. There will be opportunities to hear from the team organization, coaches, teammates and fans. “The Rundown” will have its own weekly time slot on the RTV Community Channel. Some members of the Renegades will be in the studio this week to record the first episode so keep an eye out for airtimes in the next RTV Spotlight. The second project with the Renegades is the “Renegades Report.” This is going to be a YouTube exclusive and short video package. These videos will only run a few minutes and will consist of field-side coverage featuring player interviews. You can watch the first “Renegades Report” right now on RevereTV’s YouTube page to get an idea of what is to come this season. The team is the defending champion yet again, and they hope to keep the title this year. RevereTV is playing a video that was put together with the City of Revere that asks for food pantry volunteers. It is important to note that the food pantry has been moved from 200 Winthrop Ave. back to its original location at the First Congregational Church on Beach Street, and this video shows the move. The representatives that speak in this coverage stress the importance of the food pantry to the city and their gratitude for current and future volunteers. Most of the City of Revere employees in this message volunteered to help move the equipment and resources to the church location a few weeks ago. The food pantry is not associated with RevereTV, but you can watch this video on RevereTV for more information about it. For general information about the food pantry, if you want to volunteer or if you are in need, go to revere.org. ~ LETTER TO THE EDITOR ~ School Committee Member Resigns Dear Revere Residents, I am writing to inform you that I will be relocating outside of the city of Revere and as such, will be stepping down from my seat on the Revere School Committee. This change is driven by personal and family reasons, and will be effective as of May 5th, 2023. The positive experience that I have been afforded as a member of the Revere School Committee cannot be overstated. I’ve appreciated and learned from every moment spent with colleagues and constituents as we’ve navigated through both triumphs and challenges together. As I move on to this new chapter of my life, I will be forever grateful for those moments – and for the trust that you have placed in me over the last decade to provide service to our schools, our children, and our community. I look forward to continuing my ties with and dedication to this great city as the General Manager of the new Robert J. Haas Jr. Health and Wellness Center. I would like to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to the City of Revere and its constituents, to my family, and to my friends for the support that you have given me – past, present, and future. As they say, “you can take the girl out of Revere, but you can’t take Revere out of the girl!” Sincerely, Susan Gravellese ׉ 7cassandra://dSX9AImLakK0wcDVkrpD-aFYvsO4HqOp7sE6nrP9XaA(v`̰d8rޜ#xd8rޜ#x PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://vvrQiorl8w1Z2SluR9e47q185nUkK8Ib_myUhGJR2_s_`)׉ 7cassandra://sePquy2OVQxMJwvrtrZtU9I8B9Vew9jZJzoG1kUFbhI͉`J׉ 7cassandra://zt0-EqyQDSV7Qcg5X0aIvlbVLNWxqNbQbNiFGkJ3FmI-]`̰׉ 7cassandra://D66opc59EN5WC24pQco4x5iastbsjkLjSSWTt_E65ok@ Z͠d8r#xט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://-he_5iLIIlzDJW7FsUOE-Z5sZIQfYkLNnl3mbIbmbt4`)׉ 7cassandra://eGfCpt0aNlZU0FEenTbzLdRzw8czWDE0ojQvq5QsWaw͝`J׉ 7cassandra://fRzxD2J3UcI3TeAquFlrVP78CHAFCLHqz07UopEtzt8.c`̰׉ 7cassandra://4IQgE9oPbaUlXPdiRbwyL3mlLc5TFMMV9C2hnMVNf6c(j͠d8r#x׉EPage 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 2023 Lady Pats LAX best Malden, 8-5 Revere’s girls lacrosse team takes the field during Monday’s game with Malden.

Callahan assigns oversight of major grants to lower-ranked male officers despite O’Hara’s superior level of expertise and knowledge of the subject matters Callahan also failed to encourage his officers to attend the incident command training that O’Hara has arranged, risking the cancellation of such trainings until O’Hara intervened. In 2021, O’Hara secured a $300,000 grant for a Behavioral Health Unit (BHU) in the Department, with money allocated to fund sworn and civilian staff. O’Hara needed Callahan’s approval and input on several initiatives for the BHU, but Callahan ignored the unit and O’Hara’s repeated requests for him to meet until he was directed to attend meetings by City Hall, and even then, only attended sporadic meetings. Callahan also did not authorize any hirings for the BHU until effectively ordered to do so by City Hall. Although Callahan has outwardly made the Behavioral Health Unit a budget priority for 2023, he has refused to allocate sufficient staffing to O’Hara to allow the BHU to be successful and even reassigned officers from BHU to other priorities. According to O’Hara and Mangino, male officers receive stipends not available to them. Mangino is in charge of the Records Division, but a male officer is receiving a stipend for records even though he has no responsibilities for supervising and handling requests for records and evidence. Yet this male superior continues to receive a stipend for being in charge of Records, and Mangino continues to receive no stipend despite being the only officer in charge of Records. Callahan also instructed Mangino and O’Hara not to approve any overtime for their subordinate officers without his prior approval, citing budget concerns. He authorized his male superior officers to incur hundreds of hours of overtime without seeking prior authorization. On Sept. 13, Chief Callahan met with Mangino and O’Hara and instructed them that they needed to begin wearing uniforms at work and work business hours. They previously worked in business attire and worked their chosen hours. He did not require male superior officers to wear uniforms or generally work business hours. On September 15, Mangino contacted the City’s Human Resources to report concerns about Chief Callahan’s discriminatory conduct. Shortly after she contacted Human Resources, Callahan met with Mangino and informed her that he was removing certain duties and assignments from her role over the National Incident-Based Reporting System or NIBRS and Drug Testing. These duties had been assigned to Capt. Mangino since before Callahan became Chief. The city retained an attorney through the mayor’s office to investigate the allegations brought by Mangino and O’Hara. Mangino was promoted to Captain in 2017, while O’Hara was promoted to Captain in 2018. Despite the career success of both women, Revere has a history of gender discrimination in the Police Department. Two female officers had filed lawsuits against the city alleging discrimination and/or harassment. One of those lawsuits led to a $175,000 settlement. At least one other female officer has recently internally filed a discrimination and/or harassment complaint, causing a male officer to be placed on leave. Another female employee of the city internally filed a discrimination and/or harassment complaint related to the regional dispatch center located in the police station. As the first female officers in the City, Mangino and O’Hara have been vocal in asserting their right to equal treatment in terms and conditions and compensation. They have not shied from speaking up – professionally and respectfully – for equal treatment and respect. Mangino has filed several complaints of unequal treatment and harassment against both officers and superior officers that were supported by members of the 3 Department. One such complaint led to a letter of reprimand being issued to Lt. Charles Callahan, the brother of Chief Callahan. O’Hara has also been the subject of prior harassment complaints and spoke up in support of other female officers who have reported discrimination. According to Sulman, the above actions and numerous similar incidents amount to unlawful discrimination based on gender as well as retaliation in response to a good faith report of discrimination in violation of M.G.L. c. 151B, § 4(1)(4), and (4A). This discrimination and retaliation caused injury to Mangino and O’Hara in the form of lost opportunity for overtime, details, other compensation, reputational harm, emotional distress, and other damages to be proven at trial. “The Chief’s conduct is not only discriminatory, it also negatively affects the operation of the entire department,” said Sulman. “Officers are afraid to speak up because of fear of retaliation by the Chief. He retaliated against Captains Mangino and O’Hara after they raised their concerns internally by removing assignments and interfering with their supervision of officers. This retaliation continues to this day, with the officers who report to Captains O’Hara and Mangino receiving increased scrutiny and monitoring in the past several months.” When asked for a response to the lawsuit filings, the mayor press secretary Jacqueline McLaughlin emailed a statement on Wednesday: “All internal affairs and personnel matters are confidential – however, I can assure you that every formal complaint filed with the city is taken seriously and investigated by all appropriate internal and/or external parties.” Ci o Re ere ppro e oan r er Poin o Pines ire a ion on s ORDERED: That, in addition to amounts previously appropriated therefor, $6,400,000 is appropriated to pay costs of the demolition and construction of the Alden Mills Point of Pines Fire Station, including the payment of all costs incidental and related thereto; and that to meet this supplemental appropriation, the Treasurer, with the approval of the Mayor, is authorized to borrow said amount under and pursuant to Chapter 44, Section 7(1) of the General Laws, or pursuant to any other enabling authority, and to issue bonds or notes of the City therefor.

The Suffolk County District Attorney's Office announced at around 9:00 p.m. that authorities were investigating the discovery of possible remains of an infant outside a multi-unit apartment building. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will conduct further forensic examination, state troopers said. Neighbors who were drawn outside to the large emergency response said they were horrified that something like this could happen on their quiet street. Revere's chief of police confirmed to NBC10 Boston that a baby was found by trash and recycling bins and a bush off Dolphin Avenue, and it's unclear how long it may have been there. State police said Wednesday that the child was a baby girl who was either full-term or close to it, and likely white or lightskinned. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not released additional details. Sadly, it appears that the infant may have been saved had its parent child surrendered it to a safe haven site, such as a fire station or hospital. According to the state website, the Safe Haven Act of Mass. (2004) allows a parent to legally surrender newborn infants seven days old or younger at a hospital, police station or manned fire station without facing criminal prosecution. The Safe Haven Act is an amendment to Chapter 119 of the Massachusetts GenYour Hometown News Delivered!

Late U.S. Army Korean War Veteran, Retired USPS Letter Carrier for over 35 years in Malden. Please omit flowers. Remembrances may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place Memphis, TN 38105. Dr. Rocco J. Malfitano M alfitano, Dr. Rocco J. Retired Superintendent of Revere Public Schools passed away on April 10, 2023 at the age of 86. He was the beloved husband of Lorraine I. (Trunfio) Malfitano, with whom he shared 63 years of marriage. Born in Revere, MA, son of the late Domenico Malfitano and Marianna (Misiano) Malfitano. He was a resident of Revere for sixty-five years, later residing in Stoneham and Port St. Lucie, FL. Devoted father of Marc Malfitano of Swampscott, Roxanne Aiello and her husband Richard of Stoneham and Monique Mallicoat and son-in-law Frank of San Francisco, CA. Proud grandfather of Bianca Dunn and her husband Stephen of Norwell, Alessandra Fedorka and her husband Chase of San Diego, CA. and Christelle from Revere Public Schools in 1994 he had served 36 years in the field of education. Dr. Malfitano was a proud alumnus of Revere High School, Class of 1955. He co-captained the football team in his senior year. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1959 from Suffolk University with a major in biology and minor in chemistry he returned to Revere High School as a biology teacher and freshman football coach. In 1960 he earned his Masters of Education degree from Boston State College. In 1962 he was appointed Elementary Science Advisor. At that point he began his career as a mentor to other teachers. In both 1962 and 1963 his work was recognized by the National Science Foundation. He was one of twenty teachers selected nationwide to participate in the 1962 Summer Institute on Radiation Biology at the University of Wyoming. In 1963 he was one of thirty-five teachers selected nationwide to participate in the National Science Foundation Elementary School Earth Science Institute at Rutgers University. In 1965 he was appointed principal of the Shurtleff School. His view of the principal as curriculum leader put him in the vanguard of educational change. In 1968 he was selected as principal of his elementary/junior high school alma mater, the Abraham Lincoln School, where he would serve for twenty years and earn his doctorate in Educational Administration from Nova Southeastern University in 1978. As a principal, Dr. Malfitano fostered experiments in methods teaching, modification of the curriculum for individual differences, curriculum innovations and curriculum construction. His teachers were encouraged to try new techniques. He designed and implemented a resource room program with a team approach for children with special needs which was chosen as a model by the Massachusetts Federation of the Council for Exceptional Children. The model was presented at the 56th Annual International Convention in Kansas City, MO. He developed an English curriculum for grades seven and eight and a program for gifted and talented children. Recognizing the remarkable talent, skill and energy which he has given unselfishly throughout his twenty-three years in administration, the Honorable school committee named Dr. Malfitano as Deputy Superintendent in 1988 and Superintendent of Schools in 1991. Among his many achievements in that role was the implementation of the middle school concept. This innovation at the time was a response to the devastating financial constraints and demands for accountability. With the realignment of the elementary program all seventh and eighth grade students would receive equity in education in excellent educational facilities. In anticipation of the demands of the 21st century for computer literate students who had learned to live and work with diverse people from diverse backgrounds, he created a computer curriculum for the new Garfield Magnet School. Dr. Malfitano recognized that the schools belonged to the community and opened forums for parental concerns and suggestions through individual school councils and the Superintendent’s School Improvement Committee. In recognition of his extraordinary vision and service, of his shepherding the school system through financial disaster into a new age of education reform, and as an indication of the honor with which he was regarded by the entire educational community, he was named Superintendent Emeritus by the School Committee. He was honored to have the Abraham Lincoln School Library dedicated in his name, receive the Revere High School Distinguished Alumni Award and the City of Revere Certificate of Merit. Following his retirement Dr. Malfitano served as a member of the Revere School Committee. Dr. Malfitano was a member of the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents, life member of the Nation Education Association, life member of the Massachusetts Teachers Association, life member of Massachusetts PTA/PTSA and the Retired State, County and Municipal Employees Association. The family of Rocco J. Malfitano would like to acknowledge the many health care professionals at Life Care Center of Stoneham, ComForCare Home Care of Woburn and Beth Israel Lahey Health at Home Hospice.

This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call examines the salaries and other benefits received by local state representatives. $73,655 BASE SALARY FOR ALL 158 REPRESENTATIVES – The new base salary for the 20232024 session for representatives is $73,655—up $3,119 (4.4 percent) from the $70,536 base salary in the 2021-2022 session. Representatives’ salaries are up for adjustment in January every two years, either up or down, under a 1998 constitutional amendment approved by a better than two-to-one margin by voters. It requires that every two years the salaries of the governor, the other five constitutional statewide officers and all representatives and senators be increased or decreased based on data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) that measures the quarterly change in salaries and wages. Representatives’ base salaries were increased by $2,515 for the 2021-2022 legislative session; $3,709 for the 2019-2020 session; and $2,515 for the 2017-2018 legislative session. Those hikes came on the heels of a salary freeze for the 2015-2016 legislative session, a $1,100 pay cut for the 20132014 session and a $306 pay cut for the 2011-2012 session. Prior to 2011, legislators’ salaries had been raised every two years since the $46,410 base pay was first raised under the constitutional amendment in 2001. The new $73,655 base salary means representatives’ base salaries have been raised $27,245, or 58 percent, since 2011 when the mandated salary adjustment became part of the state constitution and representatives were earning $46,410. EXTRA PAY FOR 103 REPRESENTATIVES – One hundred and three of the current 158 representatives receive an additional stipend, ranging from $7,096 to $109,163, above the $73,655 base salary, for their positions in the Democratic and Republican leadership, as committee chairs, vice chairs and the ranking Republican on some committees. Fifty-five representatives do not receive a stipend. The stipend is increased or decreased every two years based on data from the BEA that measures the quarterly change in salaries and wages. House Speaker Ronald Mariano (D-Quincy), the top Democrat, earns the highest stipend of any representative: $109,163. House Minority Leader Rep. Bradley Jones (R-North Reading), the top Republican, earns an $81,872 stipend. Supporters say legislators in these important positions should be appropriately compensated for their many added responsibilities and hard work. Critics say the base salary is sufficient and is eligible to be increased every two years. $20,468 OR $27,291 FOR GENERAL EXPENSES – Each representative also receives an annual general expense pay allowance of $20,468 for members who live within a 50-mile radius of the Statehouse and $27,291 for those who are located outside of that radius. This separate, flat-rate expense allowance is taxable as income. It is designed to pay for some of the costs of representatives’ district offices and other expenses including contributions to local civic groups and the printing and mailing of newsletters. Representatives are not required to submit an accounting of how they spend the money. But they are allowed to deduct any expenses, permitted under federal law, from their gross income on their federal and state tax returns. REPRESENTATIVES WHO LIVE 50 OR MORE MILES FROM THE STATEHOUSE ARE ELIGIBLE TO PAY A REDUCED OR NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX ON THEIR LEGISLATIVE SALARY – Representatives who live more than 50 miles from the Statehouse are eligible for a special federal tax break. A 1981 federal law allows them to write off a daily expense allowance when filing their federal income tax return. The complicated system determines a daily amount, ostensibly for meals, lodging and other expenses incurred in the course of their jobs, which can be deducted for every “legislative day.” Under the Massachusetts Legislature’s system and schedule, every day of the year qualifies as a legislative day. The Legislature does not formally “prorogue” (end an annual session) until the next annual session begins. This allows legislators to take the deduction for all 365 days regardless of whether the Legislature is actually meeting or not. Legislators do not even have to travel to the Statehouse to qualify for the daily deduction. The amount of the deduction is based on the federal per diem for Massachusetts. It varies from year to year. The daily per diem for legislators for fiscal year 2023 varies in different parts of the state and is seasonal. It ranges from $98 per day to $459 per day or between $35,770 and $167,535 annually. Beacon Hill Roll Call’s research indicates that 41 of the state’s 158 representatives live more than 50 miles from the Statehouse, qualify for this deduction and are eligible to pay a reduced or no federal income tax on their legislative salaries. PARKING SPACE – Representatives are entitled to a parking space inside the Statehouse garage or at the nearby McCormack State Office Building. The first $300 in monthly value of the space is a tax-free benefit under federal and state guidelines that apply to all public and private employees, not just state representatives. Any value of the space above this amount is treated as taxable income. The value of the parking spaces in 2023 was determined by the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to be $449 per month. Based on that figure, legislators would be taxed on the excess $149 monthly by the Internal Revenue Service and the state. HEALTH INSURANCE – Representatives are eligible to choose from nine health insurance plans offered by the state’s Group Insurance Commission, which manages the plans for over 137,000 individuals—current and retired state workers, as well as certain municipal workers, and their dependents. Representatives elected on or before July 1, 2003, pay 20 percent of the total premium and the state pays 80 percent. Those elected to their first term on or after July 1, 2003 pay 25 percent while the state picks up 75 percent. State and federal privacy regulations protect this information and it is not possible to obtain records about which plans individual legislators have purchased. The out-of-pocket monthly premiums paid by representatives for family plans range from $311.02 to $788.43. For individual plans, they pay from $125.66 to $354.68 each month. LIFE INSURANCE – Representatives who purchase a health insurance policy from the state are also required to buy the state’s basic $5,000 life insurance policy. This costs employees $1.27 to $1.59 per month, depending on the date of hire. The same 20/80 25/75 formula used for health insurance also applies to this life insurance. Representatives also have the option to buy additional life insurance with a value of up to eight times their salary. The entire premium for the optional insurance is paid by the representative. LONG-TERM DISABILITY AND HEALTH CARE SPENDING ACCOUNT – Representatives also have the option to open a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) and Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP), and to buy long-term disability insurance. The HCSA allows legislators to set aside funds to pay for out-of-pocket health care expenses with before-tax dollars while the DCAP allows them to set aside funds to pay for certain dependent care expenses with before-tax dollars. This participation reduces their federal and state income taxes. The entire premium for long-term disability is paid by legislators. DENTAL AND VISION INSURANCE – Representatives are eligible to choose one of two dental/vision insurance plans. Current monthly employee premium costs paid by representatives for family plans range from $14.32 to $19.36, while individual plans range from $4.64 to $6.26. All representatives pay 15 percent of the premium and the state pays 85 percent.

The measure went into effect last week but was originally approved by the Legislature and signed into law by former Gov. Charlie Baker in January. Under Massachusetts law, most new laws take effect 90 days following the governor’s signing of them. Supporters say that under prior regulations, out-of-staters leave BEACON | SEE Page 22 ׉ 7cassandra://dQmNzogNSauJBD45ex1rF5s421zO0q5kPa4fYmc3FLk%`̰d8rޜ#x׉E=THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 2023 Page 21 Clean-Outs!

They argue this will save dealerships and consumers the cost of delivery and ensure that the sales tax revenue flows to Bay State coffers rather than to those of the buyer’s home state. “Big news!” tweeted Rep. Smitty Pignatelli (D-Lenox). “Effective today, the @MassRMV will start issuing temporary registration plates. This policy will generate millions in revenue for our commonwealth and is an added convenience to customers and dealers. Glad to be a part of the team that worked hard to get this done.” ESTABLISH INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING COMMISSION (S 7) – The Election Laws Committee held a hearing on a proposed constitutional amendment that would establish a seven-member redistricting commission to draw Massachusetts legislative and congressional districts every 10 years. The plan then would be submitted to the Legislature, which would vote it up or down. The amendment would replace current law which allows the Legislature itself to draw the districts. The proposed commission would include a dean or professor of law, political science or government from a Massachusetts college, appointed by the governor; a retired judge, appointed by the attorney general; and an expert in civil rights law, appointed by the secretary of state. The other four members would be chosen by the above three members from a list of candidates nominated by the House Speaker, House Minority Leader, Senate President and Senate Minority Leader. The proposal requires the commission to follow specific rules, including ensuring that districts are compact and contiguous and are not drawn for the purpose of diluting the voting strength of any group based on race, ethnicity, language, minority status or for the purpose of augmenting or diluting the voting strength of a political party or any individual. The commission also would be required to attempt to follow other guidelines, including preventing a city or town from being divided into more than one district. Sponsor Sen. Jamie Eldridge (DActon) said current law allowing the Legislature itself to redraw districts leads to concerns over the objectivity and transparency of the redistricting process. “This issue has recently gained national attention because of the allegations against Republicancontrolled state Legislatures ‘gerrymandering’ districts to disproportionately benefit Republicans,” said Eldridge. “Although Democrats have supermajorities in both chambers of our state Legislature, Massachusetts should be a leader on objective, transparent and equitable redistricting procedures.” FAKE SERVICE ANIMALS (H 1481) – A bill that would make it a crime for anyone to misrepresent that a dog or other animal is a service animal was heard by the Judiciary Committee. First-time offenders would be required to perform 30 hours of community service for an organization that serves individuals with disabilities and/or up to a $500 fine. Subsequent offenses would be punishable by 60 hours of community service and/or up to a $1,000 fine. “The bill seeks to protect service dogs and their handlers from people who are abusing the rights afforded to them under the Americans with Disabilities Act,” said sponsor Rep. Kim Ferguson (RHolden). “Whether intentional or not, people who try to pass their pets off as service dogs, in order to bring them into businesses, public places, etc. are breaking the law and are taking advantage of access rights afforded to the individuals who need working service dogs and the support they provide day to day.” “I think we can agree that we COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY SALES & RENTALS HAPPY SPRING!

This has become an increasing problem throughout the country, so much so that 27 other states have had to pass laws such as this.” ANIMAL ABUSE REGISTRY (H 1557) – Another bill heard by the Judiciary Committee would create a registry of Massachusetts residents convicted of abusing animals and require the abusers to register. A first conviction of failure to register would be punishable by up to five years in jail and/ or up to a $1,000 fine. Subsequent convictions would result in a mandatory 5-year prison sentence. Animal shelters, breeders and pet stores would be prohibited from selling or giving an animal to any registered offender. First time violators would face a prison sentence of up to one year or up to a $1,000 fine. Subsequent offenders would be subject to a 5-year prison sentence and a $5,000 fine. “Studies have shown that individuals that abuse animals tend to eventually exert that behavior to humans,” said Rep. Steve Howitt (R-Seekonk). “A person who abuses an animal should not be allowed to obtain [one] and continue their abuse. This bill would red flag these individuals.” QUOTABLE QUOTES “The cost of labor remains an elRosemarie Ciampi 617-957-9222 evated concern for small business owners, many of whom still can’t hire qualified workers. Beacon Hill must heed the warnings from beleaguered employers and reject special interest group demands to increase the minimum wage to an unsustainable $20 per hour. Further driving up the cost of doing business would be detrimental to economic growth and could not only put a chill on job creation but increase the cost of products and services for Massachusetts consumers.” ---Christopher Carlozzi, Massachusetts State Director of the National Federation of Independent Business. “As our veteran population Joe DiNuzzo 617-680-7610 evolves and their medical needs become more complex, it is imperative that they have access to quality care. I appreciate their commitment to providing critical primary care, specialty and emergency care services to our veterans.” --- Veterans’ Services Secretary Jon Santiago following his visit with Vincent Ng, Director of the VA Boston Healthcare system to discuss shared priorities in supporting the health of veterans. “One reason why patients are paying more for prescription drugs out of pocket is that middlemen—commercial pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers—add substantial costs over wholesale prices. Allowing prescribers to dispense routine drugs—often at a fraction of the price—would give patients a more affordable option.” --- Josh Archambault, co-author of “Prescriber Dispense Makes Sense: Massachusetts Can Lower Prescription Drug Costs by Joining 45 States that Allow Direct Dispensing.” “Today’s recipient organizations contribute immeasurably to the life of our commonwealth as nonprofits fulfilling unique missions. The security enhancements made possible by this funding ensure their continued preparedness against potential threats. Our administration remains committed to ensuring the safety of those they service as centers of community, art and culture, learning and social services.” ---Gov. Maura Healey on a grant of $3 million in state nonprofit security grant funding for 47 organizations at increased risk of hate crimes or terror attacks. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? 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 April 3-7, the House met for a total of 12 minutes while the Senate met for a total of 11 minutes. Mon. April 3 House 11:01 a.m. to 11:06 a.m. Senate 11:22 a.m. to 11:29 a.m. Tues.
