What I heard, loudly and clearly, is that people feel their city government is not working for them. I heard frustration about the way City Hall is functioning, I heard disappointment about the many broken promises spouted by the incumbent Mayor four years ago. I heard anger both about the massive overdevelopment of apartments in our city, as well as about the number of vehicles which make our streets virtuously impossible to navigate.

I’m running for Mayor because I agree with each and every point articulated by these voters. I’m running for Mayor because I believe City Hall should be putting Revere residents, and their quality of life, above the profit margins of Out-ofTown Developers. I’m running for Mayor because at this important time in our city’s history we have a responsibility to protect those old and new residents who have invested in Revere, before another term of careless spending and reckless tax increases prices them out of the city.

The questions you need to ask yourself are these: First, do you want more apartment complexes, more traffic, and more detriments to your quality of life in Revere? The current Mayor has brought more apartments to the city than the last three Mayors combined!

She set a brisk pace as she enjoyed the warm rays of early morning sunlight reflecting off the ocean. Then she would gather with her friends for coffee, companionship and conversation.” Since her retirement in 2009, Grace began every day by walking along the shores of Revere Beach from her house in the Point of Pines to the Jack Satter House, where she would enjoy a coffee and the warmth of friendship with many. It was a routine she steadfastly maintained up until a short time before her death, when she no longer had the strength to make the trek. “Whether it was walking with her on the beach, a lunch date, shopping, a coffee break at City Hall, a visit to Hill Insurance or just enjoying a drink with her, it was special,” remembered her nephew Kevin Hill. “Grace had a unique way of making you feel like you were the most important person she had spoken to that day and there was no place else she would rather be.” Added nephew Herb Cogliano, “The name Grace could not have been more perfect for her as its many meanings illustrate the virtuous way she lived her life. The words ‘goodness’ and ‘generosity’ as well as ‘courteous goodwill’ exemplify her selfless spirit and attractively polite and respectful manner. My aunt had tremendous integrity.” The plaque was erected by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation at the request of the Revere City Council and the Massachusetts Legislature. “When a community loses a prominent resident like Grace Sannella, we all lose a bit of our personality,” said Arrigo. “But when we can dedicate a lasting remembrance to those we have lost, we demonstrate our respect and gratitude for a life well lived.” ׉ 7cassandra://dvMC6epjZJfi0ZQDl3adIq96DHY2Guaj8hFoUfEc3VA+:`̰]{Ӹd]{Ӹc PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://azhdbGTffK-sWtITzM6jwOjOxkAJb-UIr-eRK5zEd68`)׉ 7cassandra://ws9_xhRsiFiEuH3-6EkokWeSVyvTOWqDh7jzarILCF0ͥ`J׉ 7cassandra://eqedIql1JFNVc23aSDUEd-8di-91KUJ8OWqMKDCgqfE/`̰׉ 7cassandra://857PNH_ESpUdgDI2Th_eVDUAqI9KdLpNWUEnGPnIHbsA6|͠]{Ӹט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://KjtgYYj11PjU6Ul5HxPxEayX3PuljO87FSN2yMRZEU8 e`)׉ 7cassandra://4hbfa-uT7DbXDMnJUa5sE0DS-y3L8o-dDWiV26IVJtkͲ`J׉ 7cassandra://fWmvRjoJUrvvey7WR4jEMwh-qEMgA7bPE43AJ7tqviU3g`̰׉ 7cassandra://A-4pcgFJk5M8SlPZt779_sl-jbtU8K_rpVMBRAtzlss{Д͠]{ Ӹנ]{!ӸY9ׁHhttp://EddiesAutotech.comׁ ׁ Јנ]{!Ӹ[9ׁH"http://www.eight10barandgrille.comׁ ׁ Јנ]{!ӸYO9ׁH mailto:Contact@Russoflooring.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EPage 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, September 13 , 2019 ~ OP-ED ~ Remembering a Tragic Day: An Appreciation for First Responders By Mayor Brian M. Arrigo he numeric reference is all we need to see. 9/11. Or the numbers, spoken as a single hyphenated word, now a part of our vocabulary that evokes a stark and unmistakable memory: Nine-eleven. On this 18th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in American history, we are left, once again, stunned, silent, and sad. We again recall the sheer disbelief that commercial jets would be flown on purpose into buildings containing thousands of innocent people. We recall the then-incomprehensible vision of two of our nation’s most eminent structures crumbling into grisly piles of twisted steel, ash and human remains. Of all the awful images SNOW BLOWER SALES, SERVICE & REPAIRS Pickup/Delivery Available 781-289-6466 seared into my memory of that day, of all the gruesome scenes depicted over the years in documentaries and memorials, I remain spellbound by the sight of the firefighters and police officers, the emergency first responders, headed toward the Twin Towers, in the opposite direction of thousands of frightened, fleeing civilians. As terrified, helpless onlookers watched flames blaze and black smoke pour out of the gaping wreckage high above New York City, the first responders arrived at the World Trade Center and went to work, as if it was just another job to do. For them, on this worst day of their lives, it was. In the gripping documentary by French filmmakers Jules and Gédéon Naudet, we see firefighters dutifully assembling T in the lobby of the World Trade Center buildings, amid the piercing scream of sirens and alarms and the sickening thud of bodies landing at the end of their plunge to escape the conflagration 90 floors above. The firefighters, loaded with over 60 pounds of hose and equipment, discuss their plans, then clamber to the stairwells. The climb up the flights of stairs to go put out the fire and rescue survivors would take nearly two hours. Had they made it. On that fateful morning 18 years ago, there were 2,977 victims. Among them, 343 New York City firefighters, 23 New York City police officers and 37 New York/New Jersey Port Authority police officers who died as they tried to save people in peril. State officials count another 200 firefighters who have succumbed to illnesses arising from their work at the World Trade Center in the aftermath of the attacks. We mourn the loss of these courageous public servants. We grieve with those who lost loved ones in New York City and Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The tragedy was felt right here at home in Revere. Marianne MacFarlane, just 34-years old, was a member of the Flight crew on the ill-fated United Flight 175 that crashed into the South Tower. But we can find some measure of solace that thousands of lives were saved by the sacrifice and the heroism of first responders. They rescued civilians trapped on the 22nd floor of the North Tower. They carried the injured and the immobile to safety. As firefighters climbed up the stairs toward danger, they provided calming reassurance to those rushing down the stairs toward safety. The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States declared: “It is impossible to measure how many more civilians would have died but for the determination of many members of the FDNY, PAPD and NYPD to continue assisting civilians after the South Tower collapsed.” The events of September 11, 2001, epitomize the importance of government’s commitment to public safety. Nine-eleven compels us never to speak of “public safety” frivolously, never to speak those words as platitude or as the point of an empty promise.

Perennial powerhouse Gloucester is coming to town Friday evening to tangle with the Patriots under the lights at Harry Della Russo Stadium. The season-opening contest comes on the heels of a solid 2018 campaign, where Revere finished 7-4 after losing its first two games and earned the program’s first-ever playoff victory. Head coach Lou Cicatelli said this year’s squad has practiced hard and has made progress in the preseason. The prognosis looks good. The preseason was a busy one. Revere participated in several scrimmages and was able to test its players against formidable competition, including Danvers and Hamilton-Wenham. “We’ve been having a great preseason,” Cicatelli told the press during preseason camp. “The team has been working hard and has a great attitude.” Among the players being counted on to lead this year’s team, running back Joe Llanos, who is coming back from an injury, quarterback Calvin Boudreau, also returning from an injury, wide receiver Dillan Day, running back Mark Galvez, linebacker Billy Ginepra and placekicker Rayan Riazi head the list. The kicking game could be a facet that gives the Patriots an advantage over opponents. Cicatelli said Riazi has been connecting on field goals of 40-50 yards consistently during the preseason. That could be a key weapon for the Patriots late in games, as it proved to be in some of last year’s contests. Also returning are captains Jaryd Benson (lineman), Mazer Ali (defensive end, tight end), who is returning from injury, Zach Furlong (safety, running back), defensive back Jonathan Murphy, who played quarterback when Boudreau was injured last season, and running back/linebacker Lucas Barbosa.

Fifth grade Beachmont students raised the flag during the ceremony. In addition to the U.S. flag, there will also be a flag honoring Prisoners of War. “I hope these poles will bring some closure to their anguish as a tribute and remembrance,” Arrigo said.

In the first eight months of the 2019 session, only 69 bills out of more than 6,200 filed have been approved by the House and Senate and signed into law by Gov. Charlie Baker. Twenty-six of those were local bills dealing with an individual city or town and 28 were on sick leave banks for individual state workers. Sick leave banks allow employees to voluntarily donate sick, personal or vacation days to a pool for use by ill fellow state workers so they can get paid while on medical leave. Eleven other bills ranged from supplemental budgets and extending simulcast racing to regulating appraisal management companies and establishing a restaurant promotion commission. The remaining four were major bills that were debated and came to a roll call vote in both branches and were signed into law by Gov. Baker. Here they are: $43.3 BILLION FISCAL 2020 STATE BUDGET (H 4000) House 159-0, Senate 39-1, approved and Gov. Baker signed into law a $43.3 billion fiscal 2020 state budget. The package raises spending by $1.6 billion, or 4 percent over fiscal 2019. In an unusual move, Gov. Charlie Baker signed the fiscal 2020 state budget into law without vetoing any of the $43.3 billion in spending approved by the House and Senate. Beacon Hill Roll Call talked to several Statehouse veterans and not one could remember any other time in the last four decades that the governor did not veto funding in the budget. Just last year, Baker vetoed $48.9 million from a $41.7 billion budget. “The lieutenant governor and I and the secretary [of Administration and Finance] and a lot of our team spent a lot of time talking about the line item stuff, and basically came to the conclusion that this budget is balanced,” said Baker when he signed the bill. “We’re obviously going to pay a lot of attention to what happens to revenues in the first two quarters of the year because we did have a lot of volatility in the revenue base for 2019. So we’re going to work pretty hard to pay attention not just to the revenue side but also the spending side going forward.” (A “Yes” vote is for the budget. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Bob DeLeo Yes Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes REPEAL CAP ON WELFARE BENEFITS FOR KIDS (S 2186) House 155-1, Senate 37-3, overrode Gov. Baker’s veto of a bill that repeals the current law that denies an additional $100 in welfare benefits to children conceived while—or soon after—the family began receiving welfare benefits, or if they had received family welfare benefits in the past. The law was adopted in 1995 as part of a welfare reform package that was aimed at discouraging families already receiving public support from having more children. “Eliminating the family cap should be accompanied by other reforms to the [welfare] program designed to align the eligibility determination with federal standards and support recipients as they return to work,” said Gov. Baker in his veto message. Supporters of the repeal said that there are some 8,700 children who currently fall under the cap in the Bay State. These families are barred from receiving an additional $100 a month to help support that child. They said there are no facts to back up the charge that families are having more children in order to get the additional $100. (A “Yes” vote is for repealing the cap. A “No” vote is against repealing it.)

Bob DeLeo Yes Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes BAN CONVERSION THERAPY FOR ANYONE UNDER 18 (H 140) House 148-8, Senate 34-0, approved and Gov. Baker signed into law a bill that would prohibit psychiatrists, psychologists and other health care providers from attempting to change the sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of anyone under 18. Conversion therapy exposes the person to a stimulus while simultaneously subjecting him or her to some form of discomfort. The therapy is primarily used to try to convert gays and lesbians to be straight. Mental health experts and LGBTQ groups charge that the practice is scientifically unproven and unsound and can trigger depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts in these youngsters. “We can offer assurances to those still struggling with coming out, or whose parents are still coming to terms with their orientation or identity, that that they will not be sent to a licensed therapist to change who they know themselves to be,” said Rep. Jack Lewis (D-Framingham) at the time of the vote. “This vote was an appalling assault on parental rights in the commonwealth,” said the president of the Massachusetts Family Institute Andrew Beckwith who opposed lifting the ban. “Over 140 of our state legislators apparently believe that parents should not be able to get gender-confused children any treatment, even counseling, that might help them avoid cross-sex hormone injections, sterility or ‘transition’ surgery. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep. Bob DeLeo Yes Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes $200 MILLION IN CHAPTER 90 FUNDING FOR LOCAL ROADS (H 69) House 156-0, Senate 40-0, approved and the governor signed into law Senate a bill authorizing $200 million in onetime funding for the maintenance and repair of local roads and bridges in cities and towns across the state. The package is a bond bill under which the funding would be borrowed Mon. Sept. 2 No House session Wed. Sept. 4 No House session Fri. Sept. 6 No House session by the state through the sale of bonds. Other provisions include $200 million for rail improvements and $1.5 billion in bonding to allow for federal interstate repairs to advance. According to officials, 80 percent of the $1.5 billion would be reimbursed by the federal government. Supporters said the $200 million would help cities and towns keep their roads and bridges safe and allow many vital municipal road projects to move forward. No one voted against the bill but there are some legislators and city and town officials who say the same old $200 million that has been given since fiscal 2012 is insufficient. For several years, the Massachusetts Municipal Association (MMA) has been seeking to increase the amount to $300 million. Advocates say that cities and towns maintain and repair 90 percent of the roadways in the Bay State. They note that because of revenue caps imposed by Proposition 2 1/2, cities and towns are very dependent on state funding to keep roads and bridges from crumbling. (A “Yes” vote is for the bill.) Rep. Bob DeLeo Yes Rep. RoseLee Vincent Yes Sen. Joseph Boncore Yes 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 September 2-6, the House met for a total of one hour and four minutes while the Senate met for a total of 16 minutes. No Senate session Tues. Sept. 3 House 11:03 a.m. to 11:14 a.m. Senate 11:09 a.m. to 11:17 a.m. No Senate session Thurs.

Novoselsky also listed two $250 scholarship awards for high school students and a Veterans Day dinner, among other committee activities. City Council President Arthur Guinasso said he loves the red, white and blue, especially since he was born on Flag Day – June 14. The original flagpole was set back close to the school, was less visible from the street and had fallen into disrepair. City Council Vice President Patrick Keefe, Jr. said they moved the flagpole out approximately 50 yards to the school’s main entrance for the entire community to see. Arrigo extended his gratitude to Martin Catyb’s fifth grade class for raising the flag and to SeaCoast High School for helping portray the symbol of strength and freedom that is the American Flag. He also spoke about the bravery of the nation’s military, which places its ideals above the lives of its soldiers. Students Akram and Achraf Malki, Camila Diaz Perez and Melissa Ramirez Gaviria presented the flags, and students Jack Cambriello, Desmond Cassidy, Kylah Benica Deluba and Samyak Maharjan hoisted them. Kelly said that although only one percent of Americans have served their country, each of them have unified America. “As a nation, we pay little mind to the soldiers returning with physical and emotional scars of war,” Kelly said. “I am proud to work in a city that actually endeavors to be different in this regard.” Kelly also quoted the philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero: “Poor is the nation that has no heroes, but poorer still is the nation that having heroes, fails to remember and honor them.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com. Savvy Senior How to Get Social Security Disability Benefits When You Can’t Work Dear Savvy Senior, What do I need to do to get Social Security disability benefits? I’m 60 years old and have some health problems that won’t allow me to work, but I’ve read that getting disability benefits is difficult. Laid Up Lenny Dear Lenny, Getting Social Security disability benefits when you’re unable to work can be challenging. Last year, more than 2 million people applied for Social Security disability benefits, but twothirds of them were denied, because most applicants fail to prove that they’re disabled and can’t work. Here are some steps you can take that can help improve your odds. Get Informed The first thing you need to find out is if your health problem qualifies you for Social Security disability benefits. You generally will be eligible only if you have a health problem that is expected to prevent you from working in your current line of work (or any other line of work that you have been in over the past 15 years) for at least a year or result in death. There is no such thing as a partial disability benefit. If you’re fit enough to work part-time, your application will be denied. You also need not apply if you still are working with the intention of quitting if your application is approved, because if you’re working your application will be denied. Your skill set and age are factors too. Your application will be denied if your work history suggests that you have the skills to perform a less physically demanding job that your disability does not prevent you from doing. To help you determine if you are disabled, visit SSA.gov/ planners/disability/qualify.html and go through the five questions Social Security uses to determine disability. How to Apply If you believe you have a claim, your next step is to gather up your personal, financial and medical information so you can be prepared and organized for the application process. You can apply either online at SSA.gov/applyfordisability or call 800-772-1213 to make an appointment to apply at your local Social Security office, or to set up an appointment for someone to take your claim over the phone. The whole process lasts about an hour. If you schedule an appointment, a “Disability Starter Kit” that will help you get ready for your interview will be mailed to you. If you apply online, the kit is available at SSA.gov/disability/disability_starter_kits.htm. It takes three to five months from the initial application to Condominium for Sale One Bedroom with Balcony in North Everett. Well-maintained Building featuring an Elevator and Off-Street Parking. $254,900 Call owner at 617-851-4155 receive either an award or denial of benefits. The only exception is if you have a chronic illness that qualifies you for a “compassionate allowance” (see SSA.gov/compassionateallowances), which fast tracks cases within weeks. If Social Security denies your initial application, you can appeal the decision, and you’ll be happy to know that roughly half of all cases that go through a round or two of appeals end with benefits being awarded. But the bad news is with backlog of around 800,000 people currently waiting for a hearing, it can take 12 to 24 months for you to get one. Get Help You can hire a representative to help you with your Social Security disability claim. By law, representatives can charge only 25 percent of past-due benefits up to a maximum of $6,000 if they win your case. It’s probably worth hiring someone at the start of the application process if your disability is something difficult to prove such as chronic pain. If, however, your disability is obvious, it might be worth initially working without a representative to avoid paying the fee. You can always hire a representative later if your initial application and first appeal are denied. To find a representative, check with the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (NOSSCR.org, 845682-1881) or National Association of Disability Representatives (NADR.org, 800-747-6131). Or, if you’re low-income, contact the Legal Services Corporation (LSC.gov/find-legal-aid) for free assistance. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Q: What is your biggest accomplishment? A: I am currently the vicepresident of training and development at a credit union, and in nine years I worked hard to get from a front-line sales associate to the vice-president. In terms of nonprofit work I have donated a lot of time back to the community, and have been able to help put my neighbors and enact change in my neighborhood, which is what this position is all about. Q: What is the biggest issue the city is currently facing? A: It depends on the neighborhood; each one has very different issues. In Point of Pines flooding is a huge problem due to the changes from global warming. For Ward 5, crime is in an uptick and there is gang graffiti on some of my neighbors’ fences, which is a reason I got involved. It took me working directly with the city to get it cleaned up. Also traffic and overdevelopment of the beach areas are major issues affecting our city. Q: Do you have a proposed solution for this? A: Providing aid to our law enforcement is a big solution and giving them the tools they need to do their job effectively, whatever that may be. Q: What is something people may not know about you? A: I am an avid softball player. I currently play softball in the city of Revere and have been doing so my entire life. I am very happy the city has a softball league and think it’s a great addition to our area; it’s awesome to play in the place that I love. Q: What is your favorite place you’ve ever visited and why? A: Aruba. I love the warm weather and the beach. Q: What makes Revere such a great place to live? A: The people, hands-down. They are very honest and true and hardworking and are the fabric of the community. They are willing to give you the shirt off their back, and it’s an unbelievable experience to meet people who are so passionate about making Revere a better place. Q: What is the best way for the public to contact you? A: My cell phone, email or Facebook. You can even do a smoke signal or messenger pigeon – any way you want. I am happy to meet people in any way I can.

The current Mayor has failed to provide proper oversight in City Hall, resulting in two major corruption scandals which have resulted in criminal indictments. I am proud to say that during my term as Mayor, I oversaw a completely scandal free administration, and held each and every department accountable through monthly reports and the creation of responsible departmental forums for oversight and communication. To restore public trust in City Hall, we have to reinstitute monthly meetings between department heads that include our city’s finance team to protect your tax dollars. We also need to enforce our residency requirements for hiring that apply to all City Hall employees. Lastly, we must pay special attention to outside audit reports in order to provide better oversight to all revenue received and spent by the city. The choice is clear. If you want four more years like the past four years, vote for him. If you believe we can do it better, than I urge you to vote for me. Third, do you want unnecessary tax increases which take more from your wallet but achieve fewer and more expensive city services? The current Mayor has raised the budget by $50 million in only four years, hired over 130 new employees, and has raised residents’ property taxes, on average, just over 20%. Those are the facts. During my time as Mayor, the city’s finances were recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association for excellence in budgeting. We achieved record levels of free cash and more than doubled our city’s “rainy day” fund. We need to fight to protect our people and their hard-earned tax dollars. As Mayor, I’ll put a stop to rampant over hiring at City Hall, apply a fiscally responsible mindset to our yearly budgetary review, and I’ll focus on commercial development that will increase our commercial tax base. The choice is clear. If you want four more years like the past four years, vote for him. If you believe we can do it better, than I urge you to vote for me. It is obvious that the current Mayor and I have completely different visions for the future of Revere. In November, the residents of Revere will have the opportunity to choose who they believe has the right vision for the future of our community. For that reason, I have formally reached out to Mayor Arrigo, and our local newspapers, requesting debates in the coming weeks which could help you and others to decide who you can trust to lead our city into the next 4 years. You deserve to hold your elected officials accountable for what they have promised and what they have delivered. I am anxious to compare my record and my vision and contrast it to the record and my vision of the current mayor. I urge you to call the Mayor and tell him Revere citizens deserve these debates. Meanwhile I will continue to knock on doors and listen to what you have to say, and will work every single moment I can to earn your confidence and your vote on November 5th. ׉ 7cassandra://k6l6MPwxmJ1fdLk1XoDJMPcHob9y2mB6Bap4DotZpGo)`̰]{Ӹo׉ETHE REVERE ADVOCATE–Friday, September 13 , 2019 Page 19 T the return of the Revere Beach Art Festival on Saturday, September 14 from 11:00 a.m.– 4:00 p.m. The fourth annual event featuring over 20 local and regional artists will take place along the shoreline of historic Revere Beach at the public plaza between the Markey Bridge and Wonderland Station.

Nine-eleven reminds us that a commitment to public safety is a solemn vow to the residents of our community that we will do all that is necessary to protect their lives against harm.

From 12:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m., some participating artists will also compete in the live art competition – creating original works that capture the beauty of Revere Beach – for a grand prize of $1,500. The Revere Beach Art Festival also gives Revere High School art students an opportunity to display their creative talents. The Revere Beach Partnership, along with event sponsors, will reward deserving students who aspire to purready force of first responders requires some degree of sacrifice by the taxpayers who bear the associated costs. But we must measure our own sacrifice against the sacrifice that our first responders stand ever ready to make. Today we remember the first responders who perished on September 11, 2001. We honor all those who mobilized within minutes and took part in the largest rescue operation in the history of New York City. And most important, we salute all those first responders who serve the public every day, ready to meet any danger in order to protect human life, and who personify the true meaning of public safety. We express our respect for you, and pledge our resolute commitment to all that you represent. In Next Week’s Advocate sue an education in the world of art with partial scholarships. Revere is a vibrant and thriving one, and we continue to embrace its success through this annual, much-anticipated festival,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo. “Revere Beach provides the perfect backdrop for our artists to showcase their talents. The activation of this space between the Markey Bridge and Wonderland Station is always an exciting time of year for Revere residents and art enthusiasts alike.” The annual event is open to the public and admission is free of charge – attracting residents from Revere and nearby cities and towns, along with visitors at Encore Boston Harbor – a great reason to experience Revere Beach. Guests will have a chance to purchase art from event participants, to taste small bites from a variety of food trucks and to enjoy live music and entertainment.

Over the next several weeks, we will publish details on data most relevant to Revere residents and business owners. “Since I took office in 2016, our teams have been hard at work to make sure our City’s government runs more efficiently, and is using the latest technology to improve services for residents,” said Mayor Arrigo. “Results for Revere gives constituents an inside look at what we’ve accomplished for them, and holds us accountable to continue to perform at the level our taxpayers deserve.” The first set of data to be published this week includes call data from Revere 311. Visitors to the site can view the number of calls Revere 311 handles each month, as well as the number of opened and closed service requests, by type and ward. Department of Public Works’ service requests far outpace those made for other departments, and include requests for potholes to be filled, missing or damaged signs, sidewalk repair and repaving. The three-person Revere 311 call center team has answered more than 30,000 phone calls in two years, with more than 75 percent of calls answered in under 45 seconds.
