See photo highlights on page 8. By Tara Vocino N early four years have passed since Revere’s last mayoral election in which incumbent Daniel Rizzo suffered a heartbreaking loss to challenger Brian Arrigo. However, last Thursday night, Rizzo announced that he will take on Arrigo for the corner offi ce at City Hall. “Tonight, we’re going to have a do over,” said Rizzo, who is a currently a councillor-atlarge. Should he win the day in November, Rizzo said, his top goals would include having a premier school system, affordable housing, a vibrant local economy and a firstclass public safety infrastructure. Rizzo said that during his time as mayor, Revere was struck by an EF2 tornado and was pummeled by the 20142015 winter, which buried all of Greater Boston under an unprecedented 108.6 inches of snow. He credited the city’s employees who helped him overcome such challenges. “Their confi dence in me led to my decision to run,” Rizzo said. “I’ve been blessed with a great committee and great supporters.” In addition, Rizzo said Revere deserves a leader and that he’s still the best man for the job. “I’m there to serve you,” Rizzo said. “I’ll serve the best way that I can with honesty and integrity.” Rizzo also spoke about what he has accomplished over the years. Two of his greatest achievements were revamping Broadway after it began to decline and investing in parks and playgrounds and taking care of the city’s youths. In addition, Rizzo said there is no reason for residents to leave the city. “When they talk about moving away to ‘greener pastures,’ I tell them, no, there’s ‘greener pastures’ right here in Revere,” he said. In a separate interview, Rizzo’s wife, Jane, said she’s proud of her husband and is excited to support his upcoming campaign. “Together, we’re going to work hard to get the message across,” she said. Former Ward 2 Councillor John Perez had fl own in from Florida to see Rizzo declare his candidacy for mayor. “One of the proudest moments on City Council was when Dan got elected,” Perez said. “It created a ripple eff ect when Revere got it right.” Perez also said Rizzo stayed involved in the city’s government despite losing to Arrigo by 108 votes in 2015. He attributed Rizzo’s success to having a close-knit family. “That’s a testament to the man,” Perez said. “We all have crazy families, but he has one of the best campaign co-workers – his wife, Jane.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail.com.

Councillors vent frustration with National Grid By Tara Vocino ity Councillors recently expressed their anger about the 17 streetlights that are C out across Revere, some of which have been dark for three and a half years. “My blood boils, because nothing gets done,” Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna said during Monday night’s City Council meeting. “Seventeen lights are outside of Beachmont with four being in major crosswalks within a one-mile radius.” McKenna said one crosswalk is where two young children died while crossing the street around Christmastime along the Revere Beach Parkway. She went on to say that lights are out at the crosswalk on Tomasello Drive, Winthrop Avenue, the Exxon gas station crosswalk and fi ve lights along the Rita Singer Bridge. McKenna is particularly concerned about a wire that is on a fence that Garfield School students use as a cut through. “If they touch a live wire, they’re dead,” McKenna said. “They have to walk in the dark in fear of their life.” Daniel Cameron of National Grid said he isn’t aware of the outages. As of Wednesday night, McKenna said there hasn’t been any progress. Cameron didn’t return calls seeking comment. City Council Vice President Patrick Keefe said there’s a light that’s in the process of being added to the corner street pole on Oxford Street and Mountain Avenue and asked Cameron if National Grid could follow up on that. Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky said there’s a double pole on Dehon and Walden Streets as well as on Florence Avenue, dating back approximately two years. “I know you’re a big company and handle a lot of area,” Novoselsky said. “But I’m as frustrated as Councillor McKenna.” He went on to say that he’s not happy, and that Cameron is their voice for operations. In response, Cameron said National Grid has repaired more than 300 lights during the last two and a half months in Revere. However, he said some streets are under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Conservation and Recreation. McKenna wasn’t satisfied with that response. “Can we just do something?” McKenna asked. “Two kids died when the light was out, that’s a major crosswalk.” Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto said he is able to get a light fi xed within a week and off ered to help McKenna and Novoselsky. “I think a lot is being done, from where we once were,” Zambuto said. “Everything takes time.” After the meeting, Cameron said they’re going to look into the 17 lights that are allegedly out and suggested that maybe the information isn’t getting to the right people. “For Massachusetts highway roads, the responsibility is shared,” Cameron said. “It doesn’t all fall onto National Grid.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail. com.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, April 12, 2019 Page 3 Mayor Arrigo seeks regional approach to Encore Boston Harbor opening and greater support for Revere In letter to Gaming Commission, requests Surrounding Community Agreement Special to The Advocate s the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) held suitability hearings related to the casino license of Wynn Resorts, Mayor Brian Arrigo formally requested support from MGC for Revere and emphasized the importance of a regional approach. In a letter sent last week to MGC Chair Cathy Judd-Stein, Mayor Arrigo requested further consideration for a Surrounding Community Agreement for Revere to mitigate potential repercussions of a casino in the region. Prior to Mayor Arrigo taking office, the City of Revere, under the leadership of the previous Administration, unfortunately waived its rights to negotiate an agreement with Wynn Resorts as Mohegan Sun pursued the Greater Boston license to operate a casino in Revere. Below is the aforementioned letter. A Chairwoman Judd-Stein: I’m writing on behalf of the residents of Revere to request the Commission’s support and assistance in advance of the anticipated June opening of the rebranded Encore Boston Harbor. As you know, despite sharing a direct border with the City of Everett, the City of Revere does not have a surrounding or neighboring community agreement in place with Wynn. Prior to my taking offi ce, the City of Revere, under the leadership of the previous Administration, unfortunately, waived its rights to negotiate an agreement with Wynn as Mohegan Sun pursued the Greater Boston license to operate a casino in Revere. Now, in my role as Mayor, I feel it is my obligation to rectify this issue. Revere is a prime and deserving party to an agreement that would provide fi - nancial assistance and help to mitigate the predictable repercussions of a casino in the region. I am deeply concerned about the impacts Encore will have on the quality of life for our residents. Traffic and transportation, public safety, economic opportunity and job preference are all vital concerns among my constituents A prudent Surrounding Community Agreement would have assured the residents of Revere that the casino operators would recognize our concerns and eff ectively collaborate with us – as they will with Everett’s other similarly situated surrounding communities – to alleviate the consequences that a destination resort facility is likely to generate. We aspire to work collectively with Encore Boston Harbor and other communities in the region, knowing that our combined insights and resources will assure the most eff ective approach to coping with whatever issues evolve from the casino’s activity. I am optimistic that the Massachusetts Gaming Commission will appreciate Revere’s unique, unprotected exposure to the casino’s impact. Indeed, we are grateful that the Commission has indicated its grasp of Revere’s situation by awarding the city multiple grants to support a traffi c study and our tourism marketing eff orts. As Mayor of the City of Revere, I appeal to the Commission’s authority to consider renewed or alternative options for a Surrounding Community Agreement that will ultimately protect the residents of Revere and strengthen the collaborative solutions necessary for a successful roll-out of the industry in this region. I welcome your reply and the opportunity to discuss this matter in greater detail. Respectfully, Brian M. Arrigo Mayor Visit our walk-in center, walk away with a new career.

SEPAC members have tried the League for Special Needs on Winthrop Avenue, but to no avail. They used the Recreation Center for a Valentine’s Day party; however, DeBellis said it was very crowded and that they have outgrown that location. Commission on Disabilities Chairman Ralph DeCicco said a new location has been needed for a long time. They would also like to fi nd a community liaison for special needs children and adults to coordinate programs and events. Parents and Recreation Center staff currently manage those tasks. “However, we do it as volunteers in-between our own careers and being parents,” DeBellis said.

The Great Revere Day at the Races will be an event to remember “W hen the Beachmont Improvement Committee (BIC) heard Suffolk Downs would be hosting its last live racing days this year, we thought of two things,” said BIC President Kathleen Heiser. “Let’s fi nd a way to honor this historic institution, and let’s use that celebration to raise funds to restore an integral piece of Revere’s past, present and future: its public stairways.” The result was The Great Revere Day at the Races, a racing-themed VIP experience taking place on Saturday, May 18, 2019, at the Suff olk Downs Topsider Room. Funds raised will directly benefi t “Stairways to Revere,” a project to support the much-needed restoration of public stairways in Revere. Beachmont’s public stairways date back to the late 19th/early 20th centuries, when visitors camped on Beachmont Hill for access to the nearby therapeutic sea. Today the stairways all around the city are a major point of access for Revere residents and students who need safe walking access to schools, businesses and public transportation facilities. While the project was originally slated as the “Stairways to Beachmont” project to restore Beachmont’s public stairways, BIC decided to widen its scope to “Stairways to Revere,” addressing needs in other parts of the city, including the Shirley Avenue and Broadway/ Cushman Avenue areas. “We believe safe access to these stairs will improve public safety, promote healthier RACES | SEE PAGE 14 Follow us on Twitter

According to Elena Grafton of Paul Revere Elementary School, the Massachusetts Teachers Association determined that Revere needs an $18 million budget infusion. Charlene Logue of A.C.

She added that by having more substitutes, translators and paraprofessionals, they can “teach the whole child” with no strings attached, while still holding the state accountable. Revere High School student Sherley Gomez said although the schools have amazing teachers, smaller class sizes are needed for students to make the most of their education. Revere High School junior RHS student Sherley Gomez said although she has amazing teachers, students need a better school to improve their education. Ayat Zakaria said that the schools don’t have the resources that they need. “Our schools shouldn’t have holes in the walls,” Zakaria said. “We need to prepare students for college readiness and life beyond the four short years that we’re here.” Tara Vocino may be reached at printjournalist1@gmail. com.

FROM PAGE 15 izens for Limited Taxation. CITIZENS FOR LIMITED TAXATION (CLT) CLT, founded in 1974, describes itself as the group that “defended state taxpayers against a proposed state graduated income tax, which it defeated on the 1976 statewide ballot, and again in 1994. CLT also limited property and auto excise taxes with Proposition 2½ in 1980, repealed the surtax and created a state tax cap in 1986 and rolled back the “temporary” income tax hike on the 2000 ballot. For decades CLT has provided its annual ‘Rating of Legislators’ to provide taxpayers with easy access to the performance of their respective state representative and senator regarding tax policy.” “For 45 years CLT has been the bulwark for taxpayers against unlimited taxation in a state that has an insatiable spending problem,” said Chip Ford, executive director. “Since its founding, CLT has saved Massachusetts taxpayers billions of their hard-earned dollars.” Key to scorecard: CLT used ten House votes and fi ve Senate votes when calculating the 2017 ratings of the state’s legislators. Issues include the legislative pay hike, reducing the sales tax and income tax to 5 percent, imposing a graduated income tax, increasing the senior property tax deduction to $2,000 and requiring a social security number in order to get public housing. More details on the scorecard at http://cltg.org/cltg/ clt2018/2017_Ratings.htm. Here is the percentage of time local representatives and senators voted with CLT: Rep. Bob DeLeo 0 percent Rep. RoseLee Vincent 0 percent Sen. Joseph Boncore 20 percent MASSACHUSETTS PUBLIC INTEREST RESEARCH GROUP (MASSPIRG) MASSPIRG, founded in 1972, describes itself as a consumer group that “stands up to powerful interests whenever they threaten our health and safety, our fi nancial security or our right to fully participate in our democratic society. Since 1972, we’ve stood up for consumers, countering the infl uence of big banks, insurers, chemical manufacturers and other powerful special interests.” “In our role as watchdog and advocate for the public interest, we monitor the voting records of Massachusetts’ state lawmakers each legislative session,” said Executive Director Janet Domenitz. “We appreciate the hard work of the entire Legislature, and particularly those that scored 100 percent.” “While a number of our legislative priorities passed into law, many more did not. Disappointingly, a number of popular bills were never brought up for a vote – despite being approved by a committee and being cosponsored by a signifi cant number of lawmakers. We hope that the 2019-2020 session brings more transparency, and more wins, for the public interest,” she concluded. Key to rating: MASSPIRG’s scorecard graded state lawmakers on a variety of votes and co-sponsorships of bills including ones that would protect consumers, improve voter access to the ballot, invest in public transportation, promote government transparency, increase renewable energy, protect bees and reduce solid waste Members of the Senate are scored out of twelve points (eleven votes and one bill cosponsorship). Members of the House are scored out of nine points (seven votes and two bill co-sponsorships.)

Joseph Boncore 92 percent PLANNED PARENTHOOD ADVOCACY FUND The Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund, founded in 1984, is the advocacy and political arm of Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts which was founded in 1928. It describes itself as “advocates for state policies that dismantle barriers to sexual and reproductive health care, including safe, legal abortion, improve access to comprehensive sex education and protect reproductive rights of all people.” “As the leading advocate for reproductive rights in Massachusetts, the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund is working towards a state in which every person has the rights, freedoms, and opportunities to control their lives and determine the course of their own futures—no matter what,” said Tricia Wajda, Vice President of External Aff airs for the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund. By championing bold policies that break down entrenched barriers to health care, improve access to sex education, and defend reproductive rights against political attacks, The Advocacy Fund is helping build healthier and more equitable communities.” Key to rating: The scorecard BEACON | SEE PAGE 19 www.reverealuminumwindow.com 1.

Last year, they attended the walk at Harry Della Russo Stadium; however, she preferred the walk to be inside since they can hear what’s going on without distractions. “People won’t stay as long if were outside,” she said.

Page 18 THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, April 12, 2019 The lineup is set for Friday’s softball opener at Chelmsford Patriots will then take on Everett at home Monday morning to begin NEC season By Joe Mitchell he Revere High School softball team was supposed to begin the 2019 season on Tuesday against nonleague host Chelmsford, but because of inclement weather it was postponed until later today (Friday, April 12), starting at 4:30 p.m. The delayed start gave coach Joe T Ciccarello an opportunity to conduct some more practices to give his players one more shot to earn a spot in the starting lineup in the early going. But nothing’s etched in stone, and the lineup is always subject to change from game to game. But as of Thursday morning, April 11, pitcher Olivia McManus will start against Chelmsford in the circle in the aforementioned Friday game. She will be throwing to Alexis Iacoviello, who is scheduled to be behind the plate. Danielle Dion will be at first, Adrianna Keefe at second, Eve Lescovitz at shortstop and Erica Anderson at third. Adrianna Fusco (left field), Lynzie Anderson (center field) and Joli Giuliano (right field) will patrol the outfield. The Patriots finished up with a 14-8 record last year after losing a heartbreaker to Methuen in the bottom of the seventh inning in a secondround game. While McManus gets the nod to start the opener in the circle, Adrianna Fusco will also be given a chance to start the game in the circle this year. In last week’s Revere Advocate, Ciccarello mentioned in the preview story that both his hurlers have contrasting styles. With that in mind, it will provide him with options depending on the opponent’s lineup. After Friday’s game against nonleague host Chelmsford, the Revere girls will return home for the Northeastern Conference opener against Everett at St. Mary’s Park on Monday, April 15, Patriots’ Day, beginning at 10 a.m. ~ Obituaries ~ Colleen (Cacchiotti) Gaeta 6 2 years of age, of Revere, formerly of East Boston, passed away unexpectedly on March 30, 2019.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE - Friday, April 12, 2019 Page 19 BEACON | from page 15 assigns each Massachusetts state representative and senator a rating of: “Champion,” “Ally,” “Mixed,” “Opponent” or “NEI” (not enough information) based on each legislator’s lifetime voting record, co-sponsorship history, public statements and other factors. Here are the defi nitions: Champion: A legislator who has demonstrated leadership on the Advocacy Fund’s legislative agenda and works in partnership with the fund to advance its shared goal to improve access to sexual and reproductive health care and protect the health and rights of Massachusetts residents. Ally: A legislator who consistently supports the fund’s legislative and policy agenda including protecting access to safe, legal abortion. Mixed: A legislator who may oppose access to safe, legal abortion - but who supports preventive health measures – such as family planning and sex education – and is willing to work with the Advocacy Fund in support of these issues. In other instances, a “mixed” legislator may support abortion access, but has taken action against sexual and reproductive health care access either with a vote or public statement. Opponent: A legislator who vocally opposes access to safe, legal abortion and/or access to sexual and reproductive health care more broadly. A legislator who supports some health issues included in the Advocacy Agenda may still be considered an Advocacy Fund opponent. Not Enough Information (NEI): A legislator who has not participated in the Advocacy Fund’s endorsement process or has not taken a public stance on the fund’s priority issues.

Joseph Boncore Champion 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, reAdvertise in six free local newspapers!dvertise in six free local newspapers! CCall 781-286-8500all 781-286-8500 ffor great advertising rates. or great advertising rates. search, 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 fi led. 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 1-5, the House and Senate each met for a total of one hour and 16 minutes while the Senate met for a total of one hour and 26 minutes.
